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

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
