it looks pretty nice and smooth, the front needs to scoop down lower but that may be the angle of shot combined with the cars suspension at work in that shot...

looks a little bit 'camry' though!

6.5/10

but i think it would grow on me....

yeap right the r33 was a mistake, sure. same goes for the s14 a mistake year right

the designer of the R33 even admitted that it wasnt as good as the r32... the R33 design is floored in many ways... the lines dont flow... its far more bulky and just not what the skyline was meant to be... this is my reasoning behind it... i dont like the R33 GTST... in stock form... with a kit and that stealth wing it looks much better... and whats with that gay interior?

but anyway...

yeah i dont like that front end :P

if you guys thought that was wierd, I'll post up a pic of the Cefvia in a couple of hours...

also I got a few pics of a wierd Onevia station wagon conversion and a widebody ceffy kit (which is for sale).

I wouldn't call the R33 a mistake just because it's different to the R32. Although i am the proud owner of a 33 GTS-t so expect me to be a little biased :P Every car is flawed in some way, and as for the interior, i like it. It's functional and it doesn't look to cheap either.

most of the designers at Nissan japan in various publications have agreed that the R33 series 1 was the most flawed release in the R32-R34 range.

If you guys have got access to the japanese service manuals for 32's 33's and 34's, you'll notice that the R33 series 1 has the most number of appendices. An appendice is released every time there's a recall or a major change.

The only reason its the most popular Skyline in Australia is due to its availability and cost to import. If you look at Skyline clubs in Japan most of the owners drive R32's and R34s.

While the R33's an important car in the Skyline's evolution, for its time, it wasn't the best car aound, it didn't really push many boundaries.

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      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).

      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
