A Championship Blue Skyline GT-R R33
Also in the last year R30 Skylines have also grown on me immensely

I would sell my soul for that R33.

Meh... R33s are not my thing... I'm more and more looking into R32s that I like a lot consdiering the ease of making it RWD...

I've never driven a GT-R, but I think they are overrated.
Now this is a god machine.

Why not just get a model below the GTR, so it is already RWD?

Please, elaborate...

Just about to say GTS-T's are RWD and stupid cheap.

Comparing it to the R35:
V8, RWD, and Manuel. That's all that is need to be said.

Siempre llorabas por un GT-R. Y ahora los odias.

Fueron superados por los Chevettes.

This post literally has NOTHING to do with the R35

There may or may not be a Championship Blue R33 getting brought up to US spec in Florida right now....

Skylines are like Star Trek movies. The even numbered ones are great, the odd numbered ones suck.

You sir are very correct. I will edit that immediately.
p.s. At least the R30 and R31 are pretty similar

I'd sell your M3 in a heartbeat for one of these: Lightning Yellow R34.

I'm glad everyone disregards the R33, it's going to make them so cheap when they begin to reach 25.

you mean switched over to OBD II standards? If the guy is doing a build thread or something could you post the link, or is this a word of mouth type thing in the Nissan community?

HAHAHAHA
HAHA
NO
They're still Skylines, so they'll still go for big money when they are legal.
I have to say the reason I don't like the R33 is because of the looks. That, and the R34 is mechanically better.

Nope, real as real can be.

Geez didn't know anyone actually ordered one in that color! But if I was going to go R34 it would have to be Bayside Blue...maybe Millenium Jade.

The looks have really grown on me. To me, at least, they look more like wagan warriors built for top end speed than circuit or touge destroyers and I really kinda like that.

I love the R30 and R31 almost as much as the R34. the R30's boxyness makes it perfect!

Color me interested...

Resale value, power, collectible... Gts-t are indeed stupid cheap but... it's not a GTR :)

Can I color you Championship Blue instead?
![]() 12/10/2014 at 02:06 |
|
No but I'm flattered that you would color me.

This got kinda weird. Can you color me LP2?
![]() 12/10/2014 at 02:10 |

Hahahaha sure why the hell not?
![]() 12/10/2014 at 02:18 |

Cuz Z32 in LP2

Cool that you think that I guess?
![]() 12/10/2014 at 02:30 |

Those are my favorite colors.
If I was going R32 it would have to be in whatever they call the dark gray. Cliche, but it just works with that car.

What are you saying, Burrito?

From what I've been able to find, Lightning Yellow (color code EV1) was a 1999-specific color for the Skyline. Cor blimey though, it's gorgeous.
I'm actually not a fan of the Bayside Blue on the 34. It just doesn't feel right. Heathen that I am, I'm also not super-huge on Midnight Purple II or III. Millenium Jade is okay though.
I do have to say, as strong as my lust is for a yellow R34, I would do terrible depraved acts that compromised every single one of my standards and morals to get my hands on a full R34 GT-R converted Stagea.
hnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggg I'm having a crisis

Ehhhh, I can kinda see it.
When I look at it I see an R34 with a weird bodykit. The taillights are weird (like a cross between an R32 and a Z32), it's got S14 headlights, and the appearance kit (bumpers, skirts, and wing) just looks off somehow. It looks like a Grand Theft Auto version of a Skyline, but in real life.
Compared to the pure motorsports lines of the R32, or the firm-edged menace of the R34, the R33 kinda falls flat in my eyes.
I'm certainly not trying to discourage you from liking them - they need love too. They just don't trip my trigger like the other 2.

2000km R32 is about to cross the auction block in Japan. Anyone want to speculate as to what it will go for/is worth?
![]() 12/10/2014 at 03:27 |

I too love the R33, but they do highly resemble Nissan Sentras/Altimas/Maximas of the era in a lot of little details, and it's hard to unsee.
![]() 12/10/2014 at 03:46 |

I don't blame you man, it's obvious when you see them in the sheet metal though.
you can almost play spot the differences with a GTS-X R31 and an RS-Turbo R30

They have ben legal in other countries for years, and you can get them for pretty cheap. I believe the same thing is going to happen here.

I tend to agree with this.
KGC10s and R32s are my favorites, with a KGC10 being my ultimate dream car.

The bidding supposedly is starting at 20k USD. I wouldn't be surprised to see it get close to or exceed 100k.

Import-legal R32's have been spiking in price compared to non-import-legal cars. My roommate does importing and is good friends with several people in the Skyline US owner's groups.

Well, I'm sure someone loves R32s that much but there's been an 8000km Nismo on the market for 50k or so for months, so I dunno why they'd go that high on a non-Nismo (I bid on that Nismo and missed it by a few thousand the first time it went up... regret that sooo much).
