Always loved the r33 the most. Theyre aging well. Theyre like the tuxedo of skylines in my opinion.

The upgraded headlights on the series 2 make an incredible difference to the car. Improved its looks no end.

I use to own one of these 12 years ago, streets were flooded with skylines now they getting so rare.

Hi, Ross. I owned a 1997 R33 GTST SII for four years from 2003. It was a fun car. The requirement was to fit two cricket bags in the boot and two teenage boys in the back seat, which it did comfortably. I got it from a shady dealer in Perth, who I later found out had wound it back by 40,000 kms or so. Fairly typical of the genre, unfortunately. It was still a belter, though. All I did to it was a bigger exhaust, HKS intake pod with CAI, HKS blow-off valve (with plumb back after I got sick of the pppssshhoooo noise) and an R34 GTT intercooler. And some better looking wheels, of course! I wanted the SII because of the twin air bags. Why on earth you would rip out a steering wheel with an air bag just to make your car look cool is beyond me. You can always have that chat with the maxillofacial surgeon when he is rebuilding your face after a crash. I loved the car and sold it, in spotless condition, to some kid who wrapped it around a tree. I upgraded to an R34 GTR VSpecII - but that's another story. 👍😎🗿 P.S. Take it easy on the WA roads. The cops are known to watch these videos! 😱

The R33 gts-t is a totally underrated car. So much focus has been put on the GTR the gtst has remained a real bargain in comparison. Being rear wheel drive they are so much fun and the rb25 can be quite happy at 5-600 bhp with supporting modifications. 95% of a GTR at a fraction of the price with RWD fun frown in for free 🙂.

Ross! .... 7:52 Cyclists! Go get 'em. Great that you quoted Kw, but why not also quote capacity for the benefit of those who don't know their Nissan designations. I's always a good thing to watch a video and feel that you have learned something. The more trivial the better : )

Been building up my Project R33 atm :) just filming GTR seat and coilover install today!

The LSD diff was also available in the 94 GTST. This turbo made by garrett is a 2000 r34 model that's not standard to this car.

Skylines are just beautiful, my dream car is a r34 gtr in bayside blue or midnight purple but I would be happy with any

correction - series 1 & the series 2 (facelift) engines have the SAME identical factory ecu, it wasn't 'improved'. The difference is (like you'd mentioned) in the ignition system - instead of one common igniter, each coil had it's own built-in igniter.

Usable back seat, usable boot! And affordable to the normal bloke! My r33 gtst had a baby seat, then a booster seat behind the passenger seat for over 12 years! Still my daily driver after owning for 18 years, and loving it!

Nice car and very well reviewed. Any chance you could get let us know what mods it has? As iv just bought an r33 gtst 40th anniversary edition and it's stock

Nice car! That’s the same year as mine, but mine is a GTR Vspec that I RB30 swapped. Those seats are from the series 1 GTR. The series 2 were red stitching and the series 1 was blue. Easy way to tell the difference.

Can you please link the body kit that was used for this conversion?

Series 2 not spec 2

Great review and gorgeous car. Funny you mention that the price is coming down. In the UK the prices are skyrocketing. Becoming super rare here.

This is so clean . R33 alday 😍😍😍

I love his car

You need to come over to New Zealand and see how we treat the rb 😂

Anyone know what colour code that is?

6:57 is *exactly* why these cars are popular

That car is awesome.

So Clean 🔥😍

What front bar

Review a 2001 wrx sti or Liberty Gt sti . Cars they didn't sell in Usa

7:03 your face 😂😂

I was looking at getting a skyline as a first time driver lol 😂 the price tag worth it in uk solid car, only 12,000 and they look insane

Cool review! 👍

Just one thing Ross, the pronunciation of Nissan. Not so much as Nee San here in Oz but just one flowing syllable more like an en sound, Nissen

The 'Skyline' bit on the trunk/boot is supposed to be the color of the body on a series 2 isn't it?

Almost everyone who makes a video about the skyline will read almost everything from the vin number as if fan boys cant tell if its an R33 Gtst or gtr. Plus being reminded in every sentence helps as we can forget what it is in a few minutes. I am a fanboy too..have one on jack stands.

Beauty of a supercar!!!!!

Real Machine

Definitely one of the best skylines Gts25t R32 are gts t

Good road zig zags is you live in Perth?

Beautiful. what color is this?

I’ve never heard them being called a “Spec 2”, I’ve heard V SPEC 2 in the GT-R’s.

Can you review a 2000 Toyota Chaser?

Any idea what the wheels are!? 😎

How does this compare to the evo ct9a and sti gb?

Where about can u buy a r33 from in Brisbane

Hey mate, Just wondering if you know the aftermarket manufacturer of the body kit the owner used? Been trying to find this same kit for my R33 but can't seem to find anything. If not, do you have the owner's Instagram or something where I can reach out to them? Thanks heaps.

I really want the r34 but don't know if I can afford it...I don't know if I should get this instead

Damn I can’t believe we can import the gtst in U.S.

do you or anyone know the wheel and tire spec on this one? :) asap replye thanks! really need answear,

Series 2 also had different steering wheel

Rb"s just wanna REV

Nylon compressor wheel? I thought they were ceramic?

what steering wheel is that

Where can i get this bumper!

6:15 excellent

Perth zig zag scenic view kallamunda

These engines where built to last. Easy hit 200.000k miles in one of them

there aren't many GTRs I buy in japan

Ross looking young here lol

Definitely a nice car. I am gonna get another JDM, and i can't wait to finally afford one. I kick myself in the ass for selling my previous R32 GTR.

The difference between the driving of the GTST and GTR is literally night and day.

seems massivly under powered considering its got topmount

u went past my house like 3 times

Row row your boat.

#ownerofskyline✌️

I just don’t understand why buy a fake

Man it’s so cringe how he says “spec 2” instead of series 2 😬😬

213kw is absolutely nothing.. wait till u feel 400 or 500

Series 2 front and indicators look shit house, series 1 is where it's at

💦💦💦💦💦💦

All that money into the car and he buys a fake Nismo steering wheel off Wish

I don't like yanks having skylines for some reason. Doesn't seem right

Also the series 2 Rb25 has variable valve timing and the series 1 didn't. Why you'd put GTR parts on it, ypure right, it's not a GTR. . . Its ridiculous. Taking out the factory steering wheel is stupid cause it had airbags. I'm sorry but those screamer pipes sound like absolute garbage. Completely ruins the amazing sound of the RB
