Skyline R33 GTST series 2 Review!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2024
- This is a Nissan Skyline R33 Series 2.. a beautiful example of one of the most iconic cars to ever come out of Japan. This car has been modified to replicate a R33 GTR and to me this is how all R33 Skylines should look! This car was so fun to drive and the price of these cars has come down so much they are really affordable!
Let me know in the comment section below what you thought of the R33 series 2?

Thanks for watching and will see you on the next Ross Reviews AU
Always loved the r33 the most. Theyre aging well. Theyre like the tuxedo of skylines in my opinion.
i love all the Skyline GTR variants lol like they were my children 🤣 could never pick but agreed this R33 looks FIRE! 🔥
Amen.
The upgraded headlights on the series 2 make an incredible difference to the car. Improved its looks no end.
100% agree eh..
I use to own one of these 12 years ago, streets were flooded with skylines now they getting so rare.
they really are hard to find in good shape now.. n even if you find one they want a bloody house deposit! long gone the days you could pick one up for like 7-8k
@@RossReviewsau 12000k in uk
@@JoeGCards 15 is the cheapest one here in the Netherlands, but the door sills need to be welded and the back differentials are welded
Same mate. Sold mine 12 years ago. Recently I could not believe my luck, stumbled upon one on car sales that is identical to my old one. Went straight over there to put a deposit on it. I could not believe my luck. It is immaculate. Bought it from a 60 year old fella with autism. He never drove it. Owned it for 20 years. I Ended up buying it 4 months ago and will never ever get rid of it. So happy!
You should snap one up ASAP! There aren’t many left here in Australia!
Yeh I remember buying a 1993 gtr for 13k back in 2005. Imagine the price now
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 🙂.
Timon Cooke couldn’t agree more and hope some people can see this as a prime example the owner sold this for like 14g aud bargain..
amen!
I'm feeling the same way. I don't even really want AWD and I'm not going to build a 1000hp drag car, so all of the upsides to the GTR fade away for me. I'd much rather get the GTS-T and throw a nice bodykit like this one on it and honestly probably have more fun. The lighter weight of the GTS-T doesn't hurt either, I drove an R34 GTR in Japan and the weight definitely was noticeable and more than I would've liked.
@@nunyabusiness896 shhhh keep it down... I don't want the price to jump up ..
but seriously you can import a clean r33gtst with no issues for under 10k..
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!
Yessir I’ve got two seats in mine both my kids fit comfy in the back. Abosultly love my 33
I dont understand getting rid of a work of art you love when you have kids, if there is a back seat.... sounds like your skylines have been as practical as an overrated suv(wish we got them in left hand drive)
I've had my skyline longer than my daughter has been alive! She grew up with it just being dad's car, no big deal. I always said "It's yours when I'm dead!" .......now she's 15, wants a manual license, and perhaps planning on killing me for it! hahaha@@JonathanLittle001
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! 😱
Been building up my Project R33 atm :) just filming GTR seat and coilover install today!
Great project car! Love them hope you grabbed a bargain they are worth some coin today
You need to come over to New Zealand and see how we treat the rb 😂
Mang Till Bang I used to live over there! Drift scene 👌❤️
Ross Reviews the whole place is full of laurels, cefiros and skylines most people just ruin them by the way they treat them, good video though man, lovely car
Mang Till Bang thanks m8 appreciate the support 🙏🙌
Series 2 not spec 2
Andrew Turner yes few times caught my self calling it that rather then series 2
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 : )
The Cyclists haha 😈🚲🚗💨 yes i made this video weeks ago actually just been waiting to post it.. ive started going into more detail of the specs of the cars as of know but you wont see that for a couple weeks lol still have a bunch of older vids to post.. Cheers for watching Tony
Skylines are just beautiful, my dream car is a r34 gtr in bayside blue or midnight purple but I would be happy with any
love a 34.. one day if your lucky man! gotta love a skyline
Theyre too old now.
That car is awesome.
Definitely a gem
I love his car
Sniper killerYT so nice! 🔥
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.
James Thomas your a lucky man 😅 nice spot with the seats! I didn’t know that cheers.. if your ever in WA let’s get it on the channel😁
Ross Reviews will do but I live in the United States...
Oh no haha well maybe one day I do travel to Canada a lot not sure if your near the boarder 😅
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.
6:57 is *exactly* why these cars are popular
7:25 is my fav! hahaa loved this car
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.
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

Couldn't agree more!
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.
glad you enjoyed it! the price when i filmed this nearly a year n a half ago.. the prices where low like 10K could get you a nice one.. now we have covid tax on all are cars and the price is more like 15-25k! for a GTST!!!! crazy
@@RossReviewsau yeah same as. Ours are not covid tax tho. Rise about £2K every year anyway. Got mine for £3000 seven years ago. Been quite a healthy investment.
@@1968leg crazy you drive it ?
@@RossReviewsau currently 12000 grand uk sexy car
@@JoeGCards yes about 1200 miles a year. Just to keep things moving
7:03 your face 😂😂
😬
Review a 2001 wrx sti or Liberty Gt sti . Cars they didn't sell in Usa
Ben Chesterman I’ll see what I can find and make it happen👌📸
Cool review! 👍
cheers! just checked you out good to see another perth local promoting the car scene here! Respect
@@RossReviewsau cheers buddy. Happy to catch up for a colab. 😊
@@frax77 liked your RC-F review man good stuff.. ya always down to work with other content creators :)
I really want the r34 but don't know if I can afford it...I don't know if I should get this instead
Get it mate, I owned one back in the day and it's the best car I've owned so far. I had to slow at 178 mph, but was still being chucked back into the seat, only car I've ever had tunnel vision in
Big difference man😅 GTR R34 is a whole nother level of car.. they did make 34 gtt cars witch are much more similar to this.. but are quite rare.. you can’t really go wrong getting a car like this one i reviewed they are really cheap and can be made to look so so good!😍 and they go plenty fast enough for the average enthusiast!
All skylines and gtrs are expensive lol especially in Australia
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.
spewing i didn't buy this for the 13k he wanted back then haha this car would easily fetch 30-40k in this market
Real Machine
they are so much fun these RBs
Beauty of a supercar!!!!!
very clean :)
Can you please link the body kit that was used for this conversion?
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
good first car if you have the money for one and are keen to get your hands dirty from time to time lol.. great fun these cars
Hahaha good luck getting 1 of these as a first time driver you will never get insurance for it lol 😆
Nylon compressor wheel? I thought they were ceramic?
ObsessiveCichlidDisorder series 2 got the upgrade over the earlier R33s
ObsessiveCichlidDisorder the exhaust wheel is ceramic
Definitely one of the best skylines
Gts25t
R32 are gts t
Rb"s just wanna REV
deanosslewis oh boy do they ever😆🔥🔥🔥
Can you review a 2000 Toyota Chaser?
Nathan Barker cheers for the recommendation will do my best to find one 🤙
I’ve never heard them being called a “Spec 2”, I’ve heard V SPEC 2 in the GT-R’s.
i should have called it a series 2 like in the title lol.. 2nd generation basically of the R33 gtst
Here in the UK we all say spec 2 🤷🏻♂️
They don't make an R33 V spec 2.....
@@aking610 Yeah copy is that just a 34 thing then?
Good road zig zags is you live in Perth?
LOLBYE! One of my favorites for filming the cars 📸🤙 sure do bro🙌
The 'Skyline' bit on the trunk/boot is supposed to be the color of the body on a series 2 isn't it?
That’s correct
Beautiful. what color is this?
not sure the exact paint code i think it was resprayed so not factory
Ross looking young here lol
🤣 lot of age in 4 years
Any idea what the wheels are!? 😎
Super Coop Dspeed D01 www.dspeed.com.au
What front bar
Damn I can’t believe we can import the gtst in U.S.
real bargain at the moment but they will go up in value soon as more people realize they can get them in the U.S. now!
You’re getting the bottom of the barrel unfortunately. Be careful. We have been flogging them for the last 20 years. Haha
Anyone know what colour code that is?
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.
Oh no I hope you recently sold it the price jump would have been crazy
@@RossReviewsau nah. I sold it in 2016.
Series 2 also had different steering wheel
true, thanks i had no idea :)
Ross Reviews no worries mate, I owned one back in the 90s !
Few more things now that I had a good think
front end a few changes ; Bonnet had sharper lines, bumper was slightly different, headlights also
At the rear the keyhole in the boot was covered with a Nissan badge that you swivel to access it
Inside; passenger airbag, I think trim was slightly different also
And it had duel airbags
Series 2 also had an option for a sunroof, the series 1 or 1.5 never got sunroofs
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
6:15 excellent
あいちゃん 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
How does this compare to the evo ct9a and sti gb?
not as fast as an evo or well done sti.. but its a LOT of fun to drive
there aren't many GTRs I buy in japan
getting very hard to buy
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.
sorry im not sure where he got the body kit from.. its been 2 years since i contacted him.. im not sure his instagram sorry mate
@@RossReviewsau No worries thanks mate.
@@Pulsey7777 400r style kit
These engines where built to last. Easy hit 200.000k miles in one of them
true yeh not familiar enough with the RB engines.. i know the GTRs are not very reliable tho
Where about can u buy a r33 from in Brisbane
Amon Henry check Gumtree or Carsales m8
Perth zig zag scenic view kallamunda
thats it m8 :) great spot
Trying to get rid of my 300zx and getting this. Just saw advert for sale on Facebook. Fingers crossed
Where can i get this bumper!
eBay? Lol
@@RossReviewsau already checked mate there are none as perfect looking as this for the gtst’s
what steering wheel is that
not sure exactly sorry man
The difference between the driving of the GTST and GTR is literally night and day.
your right tho sometimes i actually prefer these
I owned both a gtst and a gtr. Preferred the gtst. Maybe it was because it was my first skyline or maybe its because there's something special about being able to fishtail in second gear 😂
u went past my house like 3 times
haha! wicked
do you or anyone know the wheel and tire spec on this one? :) asap replye thanks! really need answear,
No idea sorry lol all i know is that they where replicas
@@RossReviewsau Haha thanks man, do you know the guys instagram or do he post photos of the car somewhere or any place i can find the car besides this video? :D Thanks anyways
#ownerofskyline✌️
LLOYDY 01 lucky guy 🙌
Wanna sell it haha
scotty and ryder haha nope😂
Damm haha. Wanna swap😂😂
#oilchanger
seems massivly under powered considering its got topmount
was not much work done to it really.. mostly cosmetic mods.. still quick enough tho
Row row your boat.
I don't like yanks having skylines for some reason. Doesn't seem right
I just don’t understand why buy a fake
What’s fake? He built a very nice GTST
All that money into the car and he buys a fake Nismo steering wheel off Wish
still felt nice enough
213kw is absolutely nothing.. wait till u feel 400 or 500
400+ kw would be over kill in this car.. 213 is a bit low but still was bloody fun to actually use it all
@@RossReviewsau i have 565kw at wheels in my r33 s2 😅
Series 2 front and indicators look shit house, series 1 is where it's at
this car is hot tho regardless
Get your eyes tested. Talking crap. S2 much better looking. Everyone knows that.
Man it’s so cringe how he says “spec 2” instead of series 2 😬😬
yeh thats my bad lol
💦💦💦💦💦💦
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
