R33 Skyline Number 9 On Top 10 Greatest Ever Sports Cars


Recommended Posts

You guys bought up A31s.

My argument is that any other Skyline should have been selected for the spot, IF they had their heads on properly.

R32 GTR, the R32 was considered a massive step forward, both visually and performance.

The R33 GTR, because GTR is better than GTST, or any sub model...surely, better model would make a better sports car, right ?

R34 GTR, even get one of the later models, V-SPEC II NÜR. Again, later model, surely alot better.

f**k, if it was written recently, why not the R35 GT-R ?

GTxx hardly count as sports cars, GTR is a real sports car.

I suppose if those same idiots wrote "Top 10 muscle cars" the VN Commodore would be in there...and no...not the SS.

Now, more bashing of A31s to try and make the R33s look better, please ;)

Because these 2 wankers like to diss the r33, I've seen it several times now on these forums.

We should be flattered they are stalking us. ;)

LOL.

This thread is f**king awesome. Wonder how many more pages it'll go on with people bringing A31s back up.

Joe, it wouldn't be hard to stalk you. All I'd have to do is find the only R33 in WA that has trouble driving over speed humps without stalling

Gentliner's,

I think you'll find that this answer's all your question's on how ghey the 32 is compared to the 33... I mean how the 33 is a nice car which is better then a 32 which is not as nice.

Says the man with the R34 V-Spec II engine in his 32 :)

You guys realise there is NO difference between a v-spec II and a normal 34 GT-R in terms of the motor.

Quoted from Wikipedia - Granted not the best source of information but it gets the point across.

"In August 2000, Nissan released a newer V-Spec II GT-R model. The V-Spec II has increased stiffness in the suspension (even stiffer than the original V-spec) and had larger brake rotors on the rear. It also comes equipped with a carbon fiber hood, which is lighter than the aluminum that all other GT-R hoods are made from. Also different on the V-Spec II was an iridium center console and aluminium pedals. The seats were also made with black cloth rather than the gray cloth used on previous R34 GT-R models, and the amber turn lenses were replaced with white versions. From this point on the standard trim level GT-Rs and V-Specs also received these updates, with the exception of the carbon fiber bonnet."

I believe both myself and phil are sick of hearing about this V Spec II motor.

There's your difference. It may not be any different, fact remains it is a 34 motor not a 32 motor which is what i was referring to. My comment was in fact in jest

lol

get a life guys

Its just a tv show.. with personal opinions.

No need to get all huffy puffy over it.

I own a r33 but i couldnt care less what people say or thought about my car.

Neither do I, but how good is it to read keyboard wars?

Regardless of anyones reasons for which is better blah blah blah

Not everyone is going to share the same opinion. But majority always rules. The majority of skylines out there are r33's. Therefore like it or not they are better.

The r33 got in the top ten and the others didnt. Deal with it! :thumbsup:

Having said that i would happily own a r32gtr, r34gtr & r34gtt. I wouldnt be seen dead in an A31

    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
