Elvis spotted, North Florida.. didn't have my digital camera with me tho.

s14vaxlr8 · 10-08-2002, 08:36 PM

well to tell you the truth there are 5 skylines here in northern va, only seen one r34 before this one

fodive · 10-08-2002, 08:44 PM

you know, im not really a big fan of the looks of the R34 as much as i am of the R33. it seems real chunky to me, looks too long, especially with that big rear fender bulge, i donno. R33's just look the best, i think they are some of the nicest looking cars ever, other than a few chocie ferraris and the ZZII <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

SR20Fastback · 10-08-2002, 09:19 PM

I think 34's are the best looking, followed CLOSELY by 33's I guess the awd is apealing.

thelinja · 10-08-2002, 09:30 PM

I've never seen any Skyline in person....  I did however see a Euro-spec mini cooper the other day..the euros are like half the size of the US-spec.

Loren · 10-08-2002, 09:37 PM

the R33 was actually the biggest of the 3, and the R34 was a evolution of the R32 instead of the R33. Im not saying the skyline thing isn't possible.. you have no proof, so why say anything, anyone could say what you said. And the new Mini Coopers are porkers.. I'd like to see this supposed "euro spec" Mini Cooper, anyone got a link?

hm...
I always thought that Tommy Kaira's came with the "tommy kaira" pinstripe through the side of the body... The wheels are definitely TK's tho.  

r32, 33, 34... 31, 30... who the heck cares anyways? gtr's a gtr... we all want one.  I'm sure any of us would take any one of those.  better than what we got now <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I wouldn't brush that comment off. Even Nissan designers/techs/skyline gurus admit that the R33 was, to an extent, a failure. It was an "evolution" of the Laurel chassis.
Despite that fact though, I think the R33 looks better than the R34 and R32 as well. They're just so sexy. The R32 follows closely behind, and the R34... well, it's comparatively ugly. I think most designers/developers/lovers of the skyline GTR will all agree that the R32 and 34 are a close match in terms of performance, and R33 lag behind in most aspects (except styling).

Many of you who've only seen the R34 recently in mags and videos and online only think it's so sexy because it's the first impression of a skyline that you've had. If you've been around to see the R32, 33 and 34, you might think differently, too. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'> It seems like us non-US natives find the 32 and 33 sexier.

I just remember a couple of times when I watch some videos from racers in Asia, and when they were asked to say their favorite cars, they always say "R32 and R34" and a bunch of other cars.  I never understood why they don't like the R33.

Umm....NO.  Same car.  Are you maybe referring to the Mini Cooper that was produced for over 40 years (that stopped being imported to the US in like 1965 or something)?  Or the new one?  Cuz it's the same worldwide.

Ryan of Velocity · 10-09-2002, 10:30 AM

At first I thought the guy was joking about seeing a Tommy Kaira GTR but then I saw this post on 3si.org about someone seeing the same car... silver tommy kaira skyline....

s14vaxlr8 · 10-09-2002, 10:33 AM

well i just got back from lunch and scavenged the parking lot by the boston market...no skyline to be seen, i need to download my friend calling me and the voicemail he left when he saw it for me to come meet him, he was flipping out, hes a teg driver and thought at first it was a civic with conversion, but then noticed the tk rims and the exaust, the interior was black with red pinstriping, had the tk steering wheel too, no pinstripes though, maybe he bought aftermarket sheit.

i will get a pic if i have to search everyday,  didnt think about getting his license plate to have my friend do a search and see where he lives, oh well, maybe ill get lucky again

It was an "evolution" of the Laurel chassis. Despite that fact though, I think the R33 looks better than the R34 and R32 as well. They're just so sexy. The R32 follows closely behind, and the R34... well, it's comparatively ugly. I think most designers/developers/lovers of the skyline GTR will all agree that the R32 and 34 are a close match in terms of performance, and R33 lag behind in most aspects (except styling). Many of you who've only seen the R34 recently in mags and videos and online only think it's so sexy because it's the first impression of a skyline that you've had. If you've been around to see the R32, 33 and 34, you might think differently, too. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> It seems like us non-US natives find the 32 and 33 sexier.

It was an "evolution" of the Laurel chassis.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'> I just remember a couple of times when I watch some videos from racers in Asia, and when they were asked to say their favorite cars, they always say "R32 and R34" and a bunch of other cars.  I never understood why they don't like the R33.
