Is this 1995 Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R V-Spec a JDM that's WORTH the PRICE?

The Nissan GT-R is one of the most iconic cars to come out of Japan. !995 was the first year of the Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R. Under the hood is that tried and true 2.6L twin-turbo engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and transferring power to to the group through a sophisticated AWD system. This one has a few mods to take the horsepower up from the stock 276 to over 500. This GT-R V-Spec has only 18.000 original miles. It's exterior has some wonderful NISMO touches and the original interior is impeccable. Is the 1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec a JDM that is word the price

Had my 1997 model since 1998. You don't know how good this car is until you own one. The R33 handles better than a R32, and lighter than a R34, yet even you will be comfortable in the back seat with the front seats extended fully back. Easy to tune to 800 HP on a stock bottom end as long as you replace the Oil Pump, which is the weakest part of the engine because the gears are not strong. Very fast stock. The GTR however is more than just power, its the whole experience of the ATTESSA ETS 4WD system moving the power to where its needed, and the HICAS 4WS that makes this big car as agile as a RWD Toyota Starlet. However, learn to drive the HICAS in an open area or it will kill you because it does not behave like how a normal LSD will; it does not need correction, you just point and plant your foot and the car will go. Correct it and it will spin with you.

[@paulosicne5803]

It looks like it's getting better over here. To me, R33's styling is wayy more refined, more menacing, and better-looking than the R32. Very nice!

[@RaitisRides]

That is a very good point Paul!

[@mikkasamuels4551]

Love it

[@Redblock86]

I have owned a R33 gtr for 2 years and every time i get behind the wheels of that car it just puts a smile on my face. Such a joy to drive, the steering, the way the manual transmission shifts gear and of course the sound.

[@yoshiinasuit8160]

Can you daily the R33?This is one of my dream JDM cars don’t care if I get it in a Manuel/Automatic it’s still a beautiful car

[@Redblock86]

Well. I wouldn't daily it where i live du to the fact that we have winter for about 6-7 months. I live way up in the north of Norway. My daily is a 34 year old Volvo 240. That car is the definition of reliable. But the gtr it takes a few weeks to a couple of months to get parts. It also needs to warm up before you go for a drive. So if i'm in a hurry i take the volvo, lol. I only use the gtr on days when it doesn't rain. I'm simply to lazy to wash the car all the time.

[@yoshiinasuit8160]

@@Redblock86 Thanks for the information,even though we live in different areas,like me in Texas where winter it’s just cold and no snow(rarely) but we have a lot of rain during the fall/winter season.After reading this I’m still going to buy it and drive it on the weekends

[@K1ng1995]

I actually am friends with someone who daily drives their R33 GTR, he says the gas isn’t the best *its because he floors it a bit more than he should haha* but it’s very liveable. Keep in mind I live in Western Canada it doesn’t snow that often. It more or less rains like Seattle where I live.

[@ADVelez]

I used to daily an R32. It always felt special, so simple yet so rewarding. Really it’s an emotional car that begs to push it more and more. But don’t let anybody fool you, when it breaks down, bring out your wallet. It takes a great effort to keep driving it every single day fixing every little issue that pops up.

Idk why but some people forget about the R33 GT-R, and while the design is personally not my favourite (still not a bad looking car), I still love this car. I mean it's a GT-R, so you can expect amazing performance, and the look of that 2.6-L RB26 inline 6 is still amazing, one of the most iconic Nissan motors of all time. Godzilla never disappoints in my eyes, no matter what generation of the GT-R it is. And just the fact that the owner kept this 1995 GT-R so clean after all these years, impresses me. It literally looks like brand new when it came out in 1995 :)

My dudes. Please don't fall for the hype that this "bro" is trying to sell. It almost makes me sick to listen to him talk about such a legendary car with such limited knowledge. I own a '95 GT-R V-spec. and while it's an amazingly good Japanese car from the 90's, it has it's limits. This dude is trying to sell you a 25 year old car as if it's a brand new, latest and greatest tech car. Not worth the $65,000 what they are asking. I'm disgusted at what they are asking. I'd also question the accuracy of what he's claiming. The V-Spec badge belongs above the right tail light, not the left... I mean, damn.... Lotta hype here, without a lot to back it up... For real though, I paid $27,000 for mine and it's just as clean as this one, but with more km's. However, mine is stock, maybe that "500hp" makes a difference worth an extra $30k...
