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...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
