The R33 on a Japanese air base is what the Mustang is on an american base. They're everywhere, they're over the top modded, and they're starting to blend into the background for me.

[@original__gmebvy]

The_DG because manual/stick cars are not convenient for the majority of people who buy a car nowadays, plus autos and DCTs have surpassed them in shift times, speed and accuracy. Manufacturers and dealerships don’t want to invest time and money into a manual car when it won’t even sell. Even when they do sell, both the dealership and the manufacturer take a financial loss on the car itself. That’s why manuals for the most part are on their way out. Autos are convenient. Manuals are not

Yay an american who realises they are average every day cars everywhere else. Turbo skylines like GTST's and the GTT. The reason they are popular is because they are CHEAP horse power, cheap fun. Easy to mod to make fast. GTR's have what we call GTR tax. the additional cost for the badge. And I can tell you My 4 door r33 GTST which I sold for less that 10K AUD last year. regulary spanked any stock GTR (excluding the R35) around a track, I did it easily, cheeply and it was fun as shit.

A turbo Skyline is like a WRX, a non turbo is like a base model Impreza, and an GTR will be slightly above an STI. Also, I like things that aren't special. It's ok to love regular cars, and don't let a guy in his expensive sports car tell you not to cherish your car. Sure, you should be open to bigger and better things, but there's value in regular cars. I would like to someday have a nice 4 door Turbo r32 Skyline, but only because I like the styling and would want a nice practical and fun midsized rwd sedan. Besides, you can take it to car shows and stuff.

[@QuakeGamerROTMG]

I was debating between an early 2000's WRX and R33 GTS-t (they are a similar price in Australia) and found it pretty interesting that given that the GTS-t is more powerful than an '04 model but only RWD which results in them having the same 0-100km/h time.

[@miaugato93]

actually i agree with you. Super expensive sports cars are dream cars. The ideal car is fast, not frightenly fast, but also economical and practical. Confortable, yet easy to park and throw around narrow streets. A gearbox that allows the car to gain movement at a decent rate, but shuts the engine up to 1800 rpm at 70mph with CC on. Some kind of B-Segment station-wagon with a 1.6 turbo developing near 200hp with power going to all 4 wheels.

[@ianholmquist8492]

@@miaugato93 you are basically correct. Add 50 or 100 horses to that, and i agree.

[@crappy60]

Andrew GTB the R32 is legal in the US because it is now more than 25 years old. The only snag to make it expensive besides the importation is the smog process unless you live in a state where that is not required.

[@AKADriver]

A base shit-spec Skyline is still more special than any Maxima or Taurus because it's rear wheel drive (this GTS-4 spec excepted). You can swap an LS1 into a base shit-spec R33, you can drift it, you can make a track car out of it. Can't do that with those big heavy front wheel peelers. It's like a four door 240SX! It's like a reliable E36 with cheaper parts! That's literally the perfect car!

The thing about the Skyline series that I love is that it's really a decent car even if it isn't the holy GT-R. Good, reliable engine that you can tune (Just slap on an OEM R34 turbo from a GTS-t or GT-R, and that's all you need), they're nice, comfy, and make all the right sounds. The fact that you compared it to that maxima the way you did only reassured me of my position on skylines. I would happily buy one of these, at most make it a 4-door GT-R with 400hp, and daily it. And 400 is MORE than enough for a daily.

I used to say just about everything you just said over 10 years ago on forums when people would gush about non-GTR Skylines and got attacked with the most mouth-foaming opposition ever. I do like that they're rear wheel drive at least, but the normal Skylines are worlds apart from the GTR. People just think they're special because they aren't sold in the US, so they're unique and seen as rare. Also, the "OMG 1000 HP with just a tune!" myth doesn't help considering it costs like $100,000+ to get 1000 HP, and then it's an undriveable mess that requires race fuel and basically can't be driven outside of a drag strip.

I fucking love these RCR NZ Videos, so glad to see the NZ Car Scene getting some love. Reminds me of TST's NZ run as well. Thanks RCR!

[@Cykoid]

Probably the best summary of a Skyline ever "eh whatever"... But the Skyline GT-R to the rest of the automotive world is "OH FUCK!"

[@johngilroy4474]

Thank you RCR. For teaching the F&F fanboys that the skyline lineup has about 20-30cars other then the GTR. I first realized this when I was 10. We went to the Grand Cayman Islands on a cruise and my head popped off seeing R33 GT type M Sedans all over the place. Until I realized they were all auto's and daily's.

[@CodrinTechno123]

*YEAH I'M ON A BOAT.* >shows r33

[@jbvs26]

shoutout to the roman doing the song of time at the end there. hit me right in the nostalgic feels

[@dintrepid]

We’ve had skylines here for a while as Infinitis. As the GT-R R35 was separated from the line. But I still get people call R35s “Skylines” here.

[@wsx2000lol]

because theyy idiotttts

[@yamstar1johnson991]

"clutch pedal squeals like Henry Hill". Love it!

[@mikhailgorbachev3721]

No views and one like. Does RCR like his own videos?

[@mikhailgorbachev3721]

Imperial Productions correct.

[@weasel2htm]

The view count gets "stuck" from time to time. It's a somewhat well known KZbin glitch, it's done this for years.

[@ellisjackson3355]

weasel2htm good comment

[@Sillyzombie666]

this is the best balanced review, absurd intro, tons of info for those who dont understand the whole skyline fetish.... and absolute perfect outro song

[@beyondthelol]

well i mean theyre *kinda* special, i mean any skyline is still tiers above a regular econobox

[@beyondthelol]

Lol dont lecture me about skylines, im from nz and i own a 20det rfb spec cefiro hah. What im saying is i still *notice* a 20e 4door 33, even if it is a heap of shit compared to say a camry or a (insert modern shitbox here) Any rwd car has clout

[@_Zekken]

beyondthelol well, my apologies. I assumed you were american because most people are lol. I notice them, but only because I have an american friend thats a massive skyline fanboy so I take pictures of them to send to him to make him jealous we get skylines and to show to him they're actually mostly boring shitboxes lol

[@Pdtuning]

Great video guys from a guy who used to own a R32 GTR (640bhp) oh I miss her.... but thank God it wasn't a boat

[@Ask125]

Rear door on right side is not original(Different color). Hmm???

[@NextEevolution]

>read a plot where a car girl and her hubby do it in the front seat an R33 >15 minutes later, see RCR uploaded a review of the R33 What's with that?

[@scottboyer8450]

*MY CAMSHAFT IS SO HARD!*

[@YakmanOx]

RCR in old form. Loving it

[@mattd.8775]

Oh look, a Stagea sedan.

[@kylesoler4139]

it's not a Laurel!

[@basithph8958]

People often overlook 4 door Skylines. They are great platforms too for drifting.

[@alexandertrent873]

Your Star Wars comment was most poignant

[@Clayvicle]

That scene was so classically RCR, I needed that. Though overall a great video as usual

[@Nilaytv]

The US Market needs more regular cars with AWD and not shit wheel drive

[@zombanator3000]

Mario on the Moon Subaru Impreza 2.0i manual

[@anomaly2733]

Subaru literally has that market locked down, save for a few A4s.

[@zombanator3000]

Nobody else can make em cheaper

[@JohnnySDVR]

Most us cars have awd, have you not seen 5 billion suv's on the road lately?

[@Nilaytv]

JohnnySDVR cars as in sedans

[@lazrhawk]

I still love the Skyline! A GTS-t R32 is my dream car. One of those, in red, lowered on GTR wheels, GTS-t hood but GTR N1 bumper, N1 lip spoiler only, and a built RB30DE. That's my dream JDM car!

[@Armadurapersonal]

318i's are slow as shit tho, I've beat them in my Focus SE.

[@thumpertorque_]

Yeah, a better choice is a 330ci as they're not as expensive as M3s but still can give you plenty of power for the money.

[@BananaXiphos]

"Crazy like the Tell Tale Heart"..... I just had 8th grade English class flash backs. Keep doing what you do Mr. Regular.

[@rhys6048]

Can someone please explain to me why sporty Japanese cars all have little trees air fresheners?

[@heilong79]

May be this is a non-USA thing but in the rest of the world the little tree air fresheners are the most common brand, we have them her in Ireland also.

[@VcrThunder]

People will colect as many as they possibly can in their car. In europe you will find them in almost all old Volvo's and BMW's. you're not supposed to take them down, because having a lot of them gives you a wunderbaum forest. and that's cool for some reason

[@rhys6048]

Tanks for the info guys I couldn’t find anything on the internet. On an unrelated note, do you own that Supra Chris?

[@heilong79]

Yeah, I drive a Supra and a nissan cube is my daily, I used to drive a Chaser Tourer V.

[@rhys6048]

Chris McEvoy damn that’s one hell of a setup you’ve got going there. I can’t wait to get my sz for dailying in a few months :)

[@rustypizza4216]

Just got out of navy bootcamp and i see this in my feed. Helllllll yes.

[@jakemacham6913]

Do an altezza while your here

[@lego4virgo]

Or he can come back and do an older Lexus IS 300--oh-wait...

[@youmustbethatninja]

I like the gray cloth seats that will catch any and every one of your skid marks and tell everyone else about it

[@jivaneshankesavan7938]

ayee FD2R at 6.17

[@ENKTDeeColon_and_randomnumbers]

a Song Of Time cover as outro? Best review ever!

[@ded32]

FD2!!

[@kellypg]

This is what I expect from all rcr videos. I missed this. Thank you for insulting and praising and completely getting into a mildly disturbing tangent about a man who has an issue with his bowels. This is the epitome of rcr. You may never have to review a car equivalent to the avenger but this seemed like a good call back to your older videos. P.s. I keep seeing you in the comments section of random videos like techmoan. I'm not surprised at all.

[@AutoAgitator]

BIRD!

[@Snowfire6916]

AutoAgitator That's a birb actually.

[@komradekontroll]

BIRD UP

[@edd17sp74]

I like the placement of the blinker.

[@icemanroyal]

please, it's not a "show" it s an S H O! Show hurts my ears. S H O, with all the glorious spaces between the letters making them individual and memorable. Show... pffftgrmmmphhhh uggggg

[@zombanator3000]

Butt hurt is strong with this one

[@ianholmquist8492]

A "show" enthusiast. There might be 12 of you in all of america

[@Mindphaser98]

I know Skylines aren't special, but I would have loved to have one of these here in the States, even if it wasn't a GT-R. Longitudinally mounted engine, stick shift, and either four-wheel drive or two-wheel drive is what I like in a car. If these "not a GT-R" Skylines were available here, I could probably afford one.

[@MTLoveridge]

Skyline's. Aren't. Special

[@pumpkin6429]

Torrent D:

[@ellisjackson3355]

Torrent skylines ain't not special

[@aussieguy1012]

To me yes.they.are. My fav is the r31 which noone likes.

[@PurelyJimbo]

At least we all now know what Regular Car Review's favorite N64 Zelda was. That makes this day worth living.

[@siamiam]

i would like a automatic one

[@siamiam]

id be ok with any engine that was available for it, rb20de and a auto would work out for me well .

[@lsswappedcessna]

Guess you're more worried about comfort and convenience than most people, as am I.

[@HyperVanilo]

Josuke the Shitposter Just because he want an auto Skyline? Get rid of yourself

[@tykedopwnz]

Hyper Vanilo nah, I can't get just why auto cars exist

[@HyperVanilo]

Excuses excuses, you said to kill himself because he want an auto Skyline then make a comeback by saying "nah, I can't get just why auto cars exist", if you cant grasp such fact exist then why involve him in your afterthought?

[@barkerfunk2559]

The Song of Time reference at the end is amazing

[@ricerocket_ed6650]

I honestly thought this would be the last episode of the season, nice!

[@luuk3213]

It's like me longing for an EG(5th Gen Honda Civic) because of the few memories i had when i was 9, in that little time period of a few months, after my mom sold her RX-8 and got our Grandma's old, rusty 1994 EG9(VTi/SiR Sedan) with a broken muffler and my dad(who has a VERY heavy right foot) used it sometimes. I still remember us driving around in it, the sunroof open, windows down and my dad flooring it. The VTEC kicked in and it was like that AMG GTR my dad took me for a ride in once and we did 260 kmh. Civic VTi=160 bhp, AMG GTR=585 bhp, VTi>GTR. Honda is boss.

[@fcukugimmeausername]

These cars absolutely hammer, especially for the price. 5sp manual, RB25DET. ~200kg lighter than the GT-Rs and internals happy to work with 250rwkw. No, they're never going to beat a GTR, but they're 1/4 the cost and can easily do low 12s with a few mods.

[@FirstContactX]

This isn't a DET though

[@fcukugimmeausername]

Yeah, I'm just saying though. A non-turbo Skyline is about as useful as a paperweight in a world where paper doesn't exist. Awful cars.

[@FirstContactX]

They're also 1/5th the price of a turbo Skyline. So its not completely useless. And remember the mighty E banger will outlast any DET.

[@VikingArelius]

I am a US citizen. I love performance imports. I would love a GT-R, but I don't want to worry about someone running into a performance car. A GTS-4 or GTS-T would be a perfect daily for me. Has some getup, but still keeps a low profile.

[@vlenhoff]

You just nailed The Last Jedi, Cheers!

[@jawzdeadeye]

Wow. Last week my girl and I were listening to a cover of "One Headlight". And now the reference.

[@GPGTman]

The Song of Time at the end was a nice touch.

[@Falls2006]

I had a R33 GTST Sedan fro 7 years of dependable service. Turbo and M-Spec suspension (Very stiff) makes a difference. The heater also rotted out. Mine was in Go Faster black..
