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

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
