R33 Gtst, A Few Questions

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

All R32/33/34 GTS-(t/4)/GT-(t/4/v) are ugly

Out of the RB powered cars only the R34 GT-R looks the best, which I can't afford hence own an awful looking R33 GTS-t.. I own it purely for noise, performance and some what better handling/looks than a Commodore.

If a S15 had a RB25DET NEO and RB box factory I would own that instead... yes the idea of a conversion ran through my mind many times.. but I don't have the time to do it nor the space now unfortunately.

There's not much different between to R34Gtt and the GTR, a few minor cosmetic changes on the outside and BAM, you have a clean GTR.

Change the front and rear bar, skirts and rims on a Gtt to GTR parts and they're basically similar.

R34 GT-R is wider visually and mechanically

Their from the 90's, they look pretty awesome even in todays standard. there are numerous R32,33,34 gtst/gtt's on this site that are far from ugly.

each to their own I guess, I still think all R33s are ugly.. but I love them.. just like how people have yellow VL commodores but in their eyes they're beautiful..

now that's a bad analogy lol

It's amazing what pumped guards and the right bodykit can do to a car. R34 GTT's look aids. R34 GTRs look shit hot.

[niZmO_Man]

LOL, I disagree.

It's okay mate, I have a 5th gen Subaru Liberty, and the other lib guys make fun of it, call it ugly and a boat etc.

[dyl33]

Thanks mate for the support.

I'm a goose who thinks that R33s look like the unholy lovespawn of a 90s Maxima rear ending a 90s Magna. The boot line is daft, the length of the side between the back edge of the door and the rear wheel arch is too long, they are heavier than they need to be. The only things they brought to the party were the RB25 and bigger gearbox (both of which Nissan could have put into the R32 if they'd wanted to, because both were already available) and a slightly better front suspension design.

Nissan then realised that they'd screwed the pooch by doing the R34, which brought back the more classic 3 box sports coupe profile and proportions, and got rid of the anonymous 90s Jap car front and rear graphics that they stuck on the R33. And if you don't know what I mean by graphics, I don't mean stick on decals or what a video card outputs. I mean the 2D projection of what all the elements on the particular view of a car look like as a whole, ignoring the 3D shape aspects of it. Seriously. Look at the arse end of a 33. Ignore the 4 round lights and it could just be an old Maxima. Look at the front. Not significantly different to the shapes you see on the front of an old Magna. Just f**king awful.

So whilst the front end of the bonnet on a non-GTR R32 was a bit of a fail - everything else about the shape is true to the classic Mustang coupe profile that all the best sports coupes have had, including pretty much all of the preceding generations of Skylines. R34 likewise. One or two things that could be better (4 even sized tail lights would have looked better) but otherwise spot on. And whilst it is still heavy like an R33, at least it has more power to compensate.

Imo any skyline has the potential to look nice with a few cosmetic changes. The worst thing about the r33 is the bootlid (i know you can buy flush ones). A flush bootlid with a modified gtr spoiler to suit would look awesome.

stock R33, with a long as fk over the radiator FMIC piping kit will dose mad... done

32 gtst can be fixed and made to look quite awesome with a gtr front bar and wing, maybe even slightly better than the gtr itself.

Personal taste though

I'm not a fan of the 32 GTR's, I'll take a NISMO 400R any day [emoji7]

Sounds just like my car. Including the bonnet.

[vxsr33]

Bit off topic, can anyone explain to me why the r33 has the battery in the boot, whereas this wasnt carried over to the r34?

[chiksluvit]

It was intended for weight distribution according to Nissan catalogue

They decided that bigger boot space sells better than weight distribution so it's back to the front on non GTR r34s

R34 GTR still has it at the back

R33's are like a 6 foot blond

With the fattest ass you've ever seen and a dog ugly head.

Bonnet goes without saying.

I did the sums for mine and figured it was almost as cheap to buy a gtr, and then you get, you know, a rb26 and awd and stuff aswell.

May not have been the smartest move...

Ahh ok, thanks for clearing that up for me : )

[tridentt150v]

Back to topic?

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Yeah ok, get Nistune with feature pack. Get flex fuel happening and setup launch control.

Win for cheap.
