An old Skyline GTS-T (R33)

[evsky]

Hi all,

Just thought I would share some pictures of my newest weekend car, a silver R33 Skyline GTS-T.

Having been a BMW nut for the last few years, owning an E46 M3, E39 M5, E34 540i 6spd and many more I decided it was time for a change to something Japanese, I have had an EP3 Type R before and also a really tidy DC2 Integra, but wanting something turbo it couldn't be a Honda, this Skyline popped up and caught my eye, really well looked after and in great condition.

400bhp, no traction control and a howling RB25DET.

Pictures:

















I know it's not a GTR, but I couldn't resist, its one of the coolest keys ever.

Lovely, just not quite sure about the front fog lights, are they standard? Still a bloody beautiful car and very jealous!

That's a series 2, so standard.

Pretty much standard, but the previous owner did the indicator into headlight mod, so you have some ram air intake holes next to the fog lights.

More than you can afford, pal; Datsun

Cracking motor OP, I'll be honest and say that I've never been a huge fan of the GTS, but that's a superb example - I really like it!

I thought long and hard about these. There a bit of a performance bargain. The GTR gets all the attention :P

Very nice car.

Lovely car, unfortunately by the time I'd woken up to the appeal of these they had risen out of my budget, have you got any videos? Bet it sounds awesome

[Lubi325]

Very nice indeed!

[sgtbash]

This and an EP3 are the only cars ive yet to own myself. It looks to be in very good nick, please keep it that way!

[Furyblade_Lee]

Love that! Much prefer the RWD Skyline to the 4WD GTR, ( just don't like 4WD ) and I bet that is a hoot to drive with 400 bhp!!

[Podie]

Good looking car that

I thought the front indicators should be where the air feeds appear to be (next to the other round lights)?

I really wish I'd bought one of these when they were cheap.

I also regret not pulling the trigger on the S13 I was so close to buying.

You and me both

GTSTs arent too bad but GTRs have gone mental and are still going mental.

Love it. Was hoping I'd be able to get a cheap 4 door as a daily to go with my GTR but looks like I've missed the boat unless I want a non turbo auto (and nobody wants one of theose).

Out of interest where did you source the GTR key? I could do with a new one but Nissan dealer pulled funny faces at me

Ebay is the way forward, shipped from Japan, genuine Nissan, about £25 inc p + p.

Your GTR is lovely btw!

Cracking car, my brother's just bought a GTST against all our advice and it's a right dog, we're trying to get him to see sense and sell it but he refuses. Seeing this one makes me realise what a great car they can be, it looks a right weapon
