Here we have a beautiful 1996 Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R with only 171000 original kilometers. This car is a garage queen and quite literally a garage queen. It is bone stock aside from a Fujitsubo muffler and Blitz coil overs. Albeit great technological improvements were developed and implemented into this platform, the BCNR33 is lamented throughout the car enthusiast scene as the most unpopular GTR due to it’s increased size and weight.
However, that notion seems to be changing in today’s ever evolving car enthusiast scene...
The R33 GTR was produced by Nissan from 1995 to 1998. It's the second generation of the Nissan Skyline GT-R series, following the iconic R32 and preceding the R34. The R33 is often regarded as a balanced blend of performance and refinement, known for its improved aerodynamics, increased stability, and more comfortable ride compared to its predecessor, the R32.
Powered by the RB26DETT, a 2.6-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine that produces around 280 horsepower and 353 lb-ft of torque, the R33 GTR was capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in about 5.5 seconds, which was incredibly fast for its time. It also had a top speed of around 165 mph (266 km/h) although this particular example still has the stock speed limit cut at 160km/h.
Although not as aggressive as its predecessor Gojira, the original R32 GTR, the combination of the ATTESA E-TS and Super-HICAS systems allowed this car to achieve extremely impressive results in the professional racing scenes.
Known Flaws:
- Clear coat peeling on the carbon fiber spoiler blade.
