DEBATE; Greatest of the skylines? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

n3lly · 13th December 2004, 06:23 PM

As i am new to this site, in the bid to make some new friends and start talking to new people i want to propose a debate. I argue that the R33 GTR is the best looking and most best value for money of all of the skylines. Around a track the r34 may be slightly quicker but for overall horsepower, nothing that i know of has ever beaten the 1280BHP HKS GTR, which ran a 7.67 'second quarter of mile.

u will need a flame suit with those remarks m8 good luck !!

R32 Combat · 13th December 2004, 06:33 PM

I reckon the R32 is the best looking and the lightest too. Sure, its not got the best brakes or suspension, but most people change them anyway.
The R32 is probably the best value for money too, well the cheapest anyway.
The R33 is a superb car out of the factory, you cant deny that. I've only ever driven one, a V-spec. It convinced me to sell my R33 GTSt and get a GTR but I couldn't afford a 33 so a 32 it was. The 32 has more of the 80's japanese styling that makes it stand out more. Either you love it or you hate it.

n3lly · 13th December 2004, 06:43 PM

i can see your point, but as the skyline is probably only renowned because of how well it adapts to modifications, you must look at how well the finished product is, as there are little people who will buy a skyline and not modify it! I propose that the HKS r33 is pretty much untouchable, i talked to Andy Barnes at Max power birmingham and even he said it would take his R34 easily! Does anyone else know of a skyline with more horsepower than the HKS?

Haribo · 13th December 2004, 06:53 PM

ahahah taken striaght out of max power magazine eh mate?

for a start, mario and a fair few people have more power than that, and im pretty sure HKS dont even have that much power anyway. check out

www.exvitermini.com

for a decent discription of wats powerful.

everything else is just personally choice, the engines and performance were very similar, and there were mostly only minor modifications to the actual mechanics of the car, the rest was changes to body shell etc.

Haribo · 13th December 2004, 06:55 PM

R32 Combat · 13th December 2004, 06:59 PM

I'd say the 'Veilside' R32 is probably the best Skyline in the world ever. Excuse the JC terminology there.

n3lly · 13th December 2004, 07:03 PM

o, kkk . i get u. Hks ran 7s. andy ran a 9s. You saying you dont believe that?

Haribo · 13th December 2004, 07:04 PM

removed coz he undertsood wat i sed lol.

n3lly · 13th December 2004, 07:12 PM

So do you have an opinion on anything? What do you think the greatest GTR is?

SteveN · 13th December 2004, 07:16 PM

HKS one is fastest over the 1/4, but a std one would beat it round a race track.
A good 1/4mile car rarely makes a good track car, and so on...

IMO the 33 is the odd one out, dont like them at all apart from a few HIGHLY modded ones.
The 32 and 34 has a family resembelance (and they also do to the 31s and 30s), the 33 looks different, must be the milkmans kid, or adopted, lol.

My fave skyline is the Veilside R1 R32GTR by a mile.

R34s I like the looks (apart from the

standard wheels) but the size and weight makes it my 2nd fave. Tis also a lot of cash, but it is the newest of course.

R32GTRs win for me, all the advantages of the later models, with less weight and overall dimentions no bigger than a Ford Sierra.

Obviously im not talking std cars, but nobody is, and nobody does, whats a standard skyline?

Ent · 13th December 2004, 07:16 PM

i reckon the greatest '' skyline '' is from the Peak in Central of Hong Kong, a rather nice skyline that.

i love em all !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haribo · 13th December 2004, 07:25 PM

erm marrios's in that link, has the looks and the power, and erm veilside's 0-300kmh time is absolutly phenominal (steveN loves this car and could supply you with many pictures if you ask him nicely, or swap him some dirty pictures ahah lol)

also, the topsecret RH9 is in the Uk thats very impressive.

and more of the home grown cars like, Andys, and Ronnies, rk's etc
