it looks pretty nice and smooth, the front needs to scoop down lower but that may be the angle of shot combined with the cars suspension at work in that shot...

looks a little bit 'camry' though!

6.5/10

but i think it would grow on me....

yeap right the r33 was a mistake, sure. same goes for the s14 a mistake year right

the designer of the R33 even admitted that it wasnt as good as the r32... the R33 design is floored in many ways... the lines dont flow... its far more bulky and just not what the skyline was meant to be... this is my reasoning behind it... i dont like the R33 GTST... in stock form... with a kit and that stealth wing it looks much better... and whats with that gay interior?

but anyway...

yeah i dont like that front end :P

I wouldn't call the R33 a mistake just because it's different to the R32. Although i am the proud owner of a 33 GTS-t so expect me to be a little biased :P Every car is flawed in some way, and as for the interior, i like it. It's functional and it doesn't look to cheap either.

most of the designers at Nissan japan in various publications have agreed that the R33 series 1 was the most flawed release in the R32-R34 range.

If you guys have got access to the japanese service manuals for 32's 33's and 34's, you'll notice that the R33 series 1 has the most number of appendices. An appendice is released every time there's a recall or a major change.

The only reason its the most popular Skyline in Australia is due to its availability and cost to import. If you look at Skyline clubs in Japan most of the owners drive R32's and R34s.

While the R33's an important car in the Skyline's evolution, for its time, it wasn't the best car aound, it didn't really push many boundaries.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
