>ITS A SKYLINE >ITS A R33 >ITS NOT A GTR Hallelujah. This will make Skyline fans *KNOW MORE.*

"Skylines aren't special." A LITTLE LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK

I think the powertrain is still pretty special. Even if it isn't boosted I'd kill to have a reliable, affordable, AWD, manual, straight 6 car. That doesn't grow on trees where I'm at. Also ONE HEADLIGHT IS A GREAT SONG GRR.

In all fairness, 187HP in a 1996 passenger car was pretty exceptional.

POVERTY SPEC BOI

It needs and rb20e and automatic Trans to be true poverty spec

Probably my favorite RCR in years. You took something that I once thought was a hunk of gold and showed me it was nothing more than a well polished turd, a regular car.

Thank you for using the metric system while in NZ.

The R33 on a Japanese air base is what the Mustang is on an american base. They're everywhere, they're over the top modded, and they're starting to blend into the background for me. That Infinity g35 you pass every day on your way to work? That's a skyline 250gt in Japan. A Nissan Fuga is more rare.

Skylines to GTR's are what Lancers to Evo is or Impreza to WRX Sti and so on...

So outside of the US, it is the Glock of cars.

In a lot of non-US markets, the Infiniti G35 is called the Nissan Skyline 250GT Edit: 350GT*

jeebus, that Zelda reference at the end....Well played, Roman.

A toilet rant AND a Legend of Zelda reference? My Monday is made!

B I R B

I still want one, not because "GTR, BRO" but as a comfy daily driver with AWD and a silky inline 6 powerplant. Sure there's the Subaru Outback and Legacy with the H6, but every Subaru with a manual that I know of (other than the WRX/STi) has a shifter that's sloppier than watered down Manwich. Failing that, your only alternatives are literal SUVs and BMWs.

BOY I SURE WANTED THIS CAR WHEN I WAS A WEE LAD AND LIKED MY CHINESE CARTOONS

Even Initial D took digs at Skylines that weren't GTRs. Hell, they took shots at the R33 GTR for not being as fun as the 32 and 34.

Why can't we get these instead of a crappy altima/maxima. Awd/stick/4 door sounds pretty good to me. Most of the dumb cars we get in the US now are automatic because of idiots who are too lazy to move their arms while driving. It's like no one wants to have any fun while driving.

You pretty much nailed it! Skylines are pretty much regular cars. Had they taken the Maxima as AWD, this would be it. Had this Skyline been brought to North America, it would have been badged as an Infiniti.

Regular (non GTR) skylines are one of my guilty pleasures. Regardless of which generations.

*>was gonna sleep* *>Rcr just had to upload at 4am..*

This is how that Stagea you drove before is a Skyline wagon. It was just a Skyline, and not a GTR. Same chassis, same engines, same parts. The Stagea 260RS (ungh) is your GTR wagon. Just saying.

a video of a skyline in New Zealand without doing a skid? A rare sight needs more RFB.

6:16 IS NOBODY OING TO MENTION THE FD2 TYPE R. HELLO PEOPLE

Holy shit last time i was this early america didn't have any skylines

*NOT A GT-R!*

A turbo Skyline is like a WRX, a non turbo is like a base model Impreza, and an GTR will be slightly above an STI. Also, I like things that aren't special. It's ok to love regular cars, and don't let a guy in his expensive sports car tell you not to cherish your car. Sure, you should be open to bigger and better things, but there's value in regular cars. I would like to someday have a nice 4 door Turbo r32 Skyline, but only because I like the styling and would want a nice practical and fun midsized rwd sedan. Besides, you can take it to car shows and stuff.

Your best intro since the AE86!

If only you could have reviewed a R31 pintara. OH BOY

Alright let's not detach from RCR's brilliant video here detailing the differences in Skyline's, but I've been living and working in Europe for almost a year now, and this video has given me some slightly homesick feelings due to it being filmed literally outside my house, that entire Flat Bush neighborhood is somewhere I'm super familiar with. I fucking love these RCR NZ Videos, so glad to see the NZ Car Scene getting some love. Reminds me of TST's NZ run as well. Thanks RCR!

Every angle....EVERY ANGLE of this car reminds me of my first car, a 1997 Nissan Altima. Man, I hated that stubborn car. That thing was utterly hopeless, but I could beat on it all year long and it would just REFUSE to die. I almost miss it.

Yay an american who realises they are average every day cars everywhere else. Turbo skylines like GTST's and the GTT. The reason they are popular is because they are CHEAP horse power, cheap fun. Easy to mod to make fast. GTR's have what we call GTR tax. the additional cost for the badge. And I can tell you My 4 door r33 GTST which I sold for less that 10K AUD last year. regulary spanked any stock GTR (excluding the R35) around a track, I did it easily, cheeply and it was fun as shit. Nice accurate review of a bod standard average car.

So I’m standing in my girlfriends moms kitchen trying to be one of the first views. And the warning to turn your volume down comes on way too late. Good on you Mr Regular, good on you

Yeah mate, but nobody gives a toss about "Skylines". They care about GTR's, and GTR's are still special. Also, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia isn't "the rest of the world". It's actually a very small part of the world. You don't see Skylines; either stock crap or GTR's, in Europe, South America, most of Asia, or Africa. They have to be privately imported, just like in North America.

A base shit-spec Skyline is still more special than any Maxima or Taurus because it's rear wheel drive (this GTS-4 spec excepted). You can swap an LS1 into a base shit-spec R33, you can drift it, you can make a track car out of it. Can't do that with those big heavy front wheel peelers. It's like a four door 240SX! It's like a reliable E36 with cheaper parts! That's literally the perfect car!

Using the song of time as the outro haha, this is why i keep watching.

>buy someones dads Taurus for $2000 >drive it until one thing is wrong >drive it until it won't pass inspection >scrap it I did that with a '99 Taurus wagon for my first 2 years driving. I drove that thing from 119k-160k. RIP Waggy.

Great episode, can't wait to see what's next😁

I remember when the G35/37s came out and people were importing skyline badges from. "In Japan, this is a Skyline. It's a Skyline, bro." "Yes," I replied, "yes it is."

>not a 20e Disappointed

the official car of the dude who get triggered when you say that halo isnt a perfect game

That scene was so classically RCR, I needed that. Though overall a great video as usual

I own an R33 GTS. Yes a GTS. I’m a student and can’t afford a GTR. It makes me happier and it’s something I don’t think I’ll ever give up. Truth be told I’ve always fantasized over owning something like a skyline. Is it powerful? No. Is it Glamorous? No. But it does two things really well. It makes me smile when I drive it, and other people who own much nicer cars wave at me while driving, as well as makes other people smile when they see it. It’s not a “special” car like he said, but it’s special to me and has made my world a better place.

After watching this, it only solidified my desire for the sedan's.

I love the fact it's a basic 90s inline 6 sedan from Japan

You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly sir, bravo!

6:04 "And the clutch pedal squeals like Henry Hill!" Those kinds of comparisons are why I love RCR!

Mr Regular how long will it be until you realise the loss of the Falcon and Commodore is a loss to the world? *tears* I'll be alright, just gimme a minute :'(

I love how at like 1:04 there's an R34 parked on a driveway

this is the best balanced review, absurd intro, tons of info for those who dont understand the whole skyline fetish.... and absolute perfect outro song

The thing about the Skyline series that I love is that it's really a decent car even if it isn't the holy GT-R. Good, reliable engine that you can tune (Just slap on an OEM R34 turbo from a GTS-t or GT-R, and that's all you need), they're nice, comfy, and make all the right sounds. The fact that you compared it to that maxima the way you did only reassured me of my position on skylines. I would happily buy one of these, at most make it a 4-door GT-R with 400hp, and daily it. And 400 is MORE than enough for a daily.

Don't care if it's just a regular car, I still absolutely adore those tailights! I could see myself in one, if they were sold in the States...

I disagree, I love the unique rear taillights and the rb25/26 is probably my favourite engine of all time. Put about 10k into it and a lot of time, get that bad boy revving to 9k/10k with 500whp and an exhaust note that will make anyone’s head turn.

One of the few KZfaq advertisements that work. I bought that damn Automation game and it's worth every penny.

"clutch pedal squeals like Henry Hill". Love it!

Great vid. Im not a Skyline fan boy, just a GTR fanboy. Its irrational from the hype, I know, but I still want one....

*YEAH I'M ON A BOAT.* >shows r33

shoutout to the roman doing the song of time at the end there. hit me right in the nostalgic feels

a Song Of Time cover as outro? Best review ever!

At First I heard "do you remember the last JETTA"

We’ve had skylines here for a while as Infinitis. As the GT-R R35 was separated from the line. But I still get people call R35s “Skylines” here.

I heard what you did in the end there Roman, nice

The Song of Time reference at the end is amazing

*MY CAMSHAFT IS SO HARD!*

Nobody actually fucking thinks the Skyline is only the GT-R

Good job 👍 with this video . Still being a 90s Nisan fan boy and making my Japanese girl friend at the time read me and get me Japanese auto mags still seeing a normal skyline would be amazing .

Good review. Hey, I saw a Torana in there.

Rear door on right side is not original(Different color). Hmm???

Oh look, a Stagea sedan.

I honestly thought this would be the last episode of the season, nice!

I have a 94 r33 gts25 AT. No rust. 90k kilometers on the clock. Clean interior. Threw some nice wheels on it and I daily it. I’m not trying to make it something it’s not. But let me tell you, slowly driving around the burbs In the Midwest, it’s special. People love it even if it doesn’t shoot flames and make turbo noises. It’s awesome.

1998-2003 Lexus gs300 review next please

*TORANA NEXT?!*

I like the placement of the blinker.

RCR in old form. Loving it

well i mean theyre *kinda* special, i mean any skyline is still tiers above a regular econobox

Skyline's were always marketed as mid-size executive sedans. RWD but slow for the base models and a 'halo' car for the top tier (the GTR). I don't know why they're held on such a high pedestal by Americans, its no different to the C300/C63 pairing in the Mercedes and yet the C63 is not held to such a high acclaim. I really don't get all the clamouring about this specific model line.

Thank you RCR. For teaching the F&F fanboys that the skyline lineup has about 20-30cars other then the GTR. I first realized this when I was 10. We went to the Grand Cayman Islands on a cruise and my head popped off seeing R33 GT type M Sedans all over the place. Until I realized they were all auto's and daily's.

Just got out of navy bootcamp and i see this in my feed. Helllllll yes.

ayee FD2R at 6.17

No views and one like. Does RCR like his own videos?

I still love the Skyline! A GTS-t R32 is my dream car. One of those, in red, lowered on GTR wheels, GTS-t hood but GTR N1 bumper, N1 lip spoiler only, and a built RB30DE. That's my dream JDM car!

I like the gray cloth seats that will catch any and every one of your skid marks and tell everyone else about it

Can someone please explain to me why sporty Japanese cars all have little trees air fresheners?

Probably the best summary of a Skyline ever "eh whatever"... But the Skyline GT-R to the rest of the automotive world is "OH FUCK!"

I saw this exact car yesterday when I was at denny's wierd how youre now making a video about it

I felt weird that you spoke directly to me in the beginning

Your Star Wars comment was most poignant

Do an altezza while your here

ahhhh, dem feels, my old man had one years ago. so many memories

"The clutch peddle squeals like Henry Hill." Lmao I lost it

The US Market needs more regular cars with AWD and not shit wheel drive

*YEA IM ON A BOAT YALL*

>read a plot where a car girl and her hubby do it in the front seat an R33 >15 minutes later, see RCR uploaded a review of the R33 What's with that?

I've had the song of storms (not of time) stuck in my head for about 2 weeks so I made it my ringtone.

318i's are slow as shit tho, I've beat them in my Focus SE.

FD2!!

"Crazy like the Tell Tale Heart"..... I just had 8th grade English class flash backs. Keep doing what you do Mr. Regular.

The Song of Time at the end was a nice touch.
