Hi fellas,

I know everyone has their own opinions so this thread is not to criticise any particular Skyline model but rather to pay respects to each and why people feel their chosen Skyline looks best.

Here are the basic rules to this thread; 1) we are only discussing looks, so please post reasons as why you feel a particular Skyline model looks best, 2) post up photos as examples and, 3) it can be any Skyline range including the R35 GTR so let your comments fly!!

I'll start. I've always been torn between the R33 and the R34 GTR, but overall I have to say the R33 GTR wins in the looks department. Sure, people say it's a widebody boat etc, but I love the aggressive stance, evenly-size huge oven-top rear lights and the R33 GTR front bar is vintage Skyline. Moreover, the body shape of the R33 just looks so much more aggressive with the pump guards and lines that complete the look and the R33 GTR rear wing looks toughest out of all the Skylines in my opinion.

I like (-er dislike) how you've put a greenery/forest background to each of the R33 GT-Rs > stuck the R32 in a paddock > R34 and R35 in the midst of a garage/factory theme with plastic water pipes running down behind the cars...

Hypnotherapists seem to pick up on what messages someone's subconscious conveys!! :rofl2:

I know it's a bit odd, but I would have picked the R33 GT-R as having the best balanced look anyway.

I'm sure that someone will bring their R32 GT-R out of the paddock and put it where it belongs - LOL

Hi fellas,

Terry: you got me!! I'm biased as hell for the R33 GTR. I own a R33, but next I would get a R34 GTR. But overall, I would also say that the R33 GTR looks best.

Wil: you are spot on. I just ransomed everything but I think Terry knows that subconciously I was conveying a hidden message.

Sinista: similiar but totally different as we are debating purely looks here and posters are asked to comment why.

Keep it coming fellas. Post up some pics too!!

ok then. For me it has to be the 34 GTR. Reason why....

It is so so easy to make it look super mean. There are just so many examples out there that look absolutely fantastic at any angle. It keeps the skyline origin unlinke the looks of the 35. The 33 can look good but there are only limited examples and you barely see any on the road that look good. The 32 is great, just a little old now. Every time you see a 34 GTR on the rd it looks great and super mean, its hard to find an example that doesnt look good.

I will agree with you on the point you make that the R34 maintains the Skyline look unlike the R35. Unlike many people, I am not a fan of the R35 in terms of looks at all...looks like a 350/370z on steroids. Not my cup of tea. Ok, can you post up one example of a R34 that you admire or like?

For me it would have to be BNR34s that look the best..

If you ask many skyline fans the question, 'which is your favourite skyline?' a large majority i would think would say the Z-tune no?...

Based on a 34R, which has an awesome stance, sharp lines and curves in all the right places, and a presence that the others seem to lack for me...

Just my thoughts anyways, and obviously im a little bias ha...

It's hard to fault the R34 Z-Tune. Definitely sexci!!

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
