WHY PEOPLE HATE THE R33 GT-R

Thanks to @JustDriven for loaning me their gorgeous R33 GTR.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ **CORRECTION** In this video I stated that the R33 was the heaviest of the three models discussed. That was an error. I inadvertently jumbled the numbers of the R34 vs the R33. For the record, the R33 weighs LESS than the R34. The R33 comes in at 1,530 kg (3,373.1lbs) while the R34 comes in at 1,560 kg (3,439.2 lbs). This was NOT my Editor's fault - it was mine. I take full responsibility and I apologize for the error. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Why all the hate for the R33 GT-R? I had my own thoughts about this car until a recent test drive of a properly sorted one.
DISCLAIMER: The black GT-R that I drove was owned by @JustDriven and had many modifications including big turbo and a tune. The car was tuned only for race gas, so I had no chance to do a street drive review.

[@Arexion5293]

In short: R32 defined the platform and then R33 decided to focus on different appeals. R33 is a great car, but it is a very different experience as a car which makes it feel out of place in this series. R34 went back to what made people like R32 so much for.

[@samuelalcena4526]

The r34 is probably the one who felt less like a jdm on the road. The car is way more superficial than the previous r series. R33 is the one who made the best time on Nurburgring between the 3 (without the r35)

[@lukatrdina5108]

In which way did it focus on different appeals? And what made R34 "go back"? Just curious, as I don't see the logic

The 33 is actually my favorite. I had the fortune of working at HKS USA in '98. The Japanese HKS Goods Master catalog I had at the time had a black R33 on the cover similar to the one you featured. It will always be the halo/hero car for me.

It’s simple, a lot of the time it’s mostly because it’s not as pretty as the 32 or 34. Still under the hood not too much different but looks much different than the shape the 32 and 34 share. I personally am not a huge fan of the sleek smooth look that the 33 has and for that matter the zenki s14 kinda has a similar rounded style to it and for lack of a better word “plain” Yes I realize there are some cool trim pieces and shinny little bits here and there but I’m sure you know what I mean as far as it being somewhat plain in comparison. But still it’s a gtr. Car guys will appreciate a 33 regardless if it’s slightly different. Still would love one and I still think they look great but just not as much in my opinion.

[@Kev27RS]

@@nathanielhampton2559 Good points. It doesn't look as aggressive as the R34. It looks more "smooth" on the front, but still looks nice as a car overall.

[@gtrulez]

Absolutely love my R33 GTR V-spec. As a tall guy the r33 is just the most practical, in the r32 i hit the steering wheel with my knees and the r34 is not much bigger. In the 33 i can sit comfortably. Any of the rb skyline GTR's can be sorted out so that it drives wonderfully. Personally i love the R33 taillights, the "afterburner" look is just amazing at night! Honestly the extra price of the R34 GTR is just not worth it, its basically just for looks and a 6 speed gearbox anyway. The r33 is just as fun to drive, and can be made just as fast at 1/3~1-5th of the price.

[@dennischen8887]

Not really 1/3 the price anymore as the R33 has gained quite of bit of value in the last couple of years. More like 1/2 the price now between R33 GTR and R34 GTR for standard models and the gap will close in more once the R34 becomes legal in a couple of years. Same with the R32 GTR. It used to be around 1/2 the price of the R33, but once R33 became legal, the value of R32's shot up and now they are only slightly cheaper on average now. With that said, I probably will not trade my R33 GTR for an R34 GTR or an R32 GTR. Always liked the 33 the most, especially the tail lights and front end.

[@ToycarsaddictDaily]

Actually...As an R33 owner and JDM enthusiast its one of my all time favourite cars. So I'm super happy that I made the decision to buy one of these🥰

[@R3V0LV3R45]

The Aussie R32’s were the absolute best in the world. And Gibson Motorsport managed to sort things out that the factory couldn’t! And when Fred Gibson asked to bring his GTRs to Japan to race he was told “Hmmm not a good idea Gibson-son”. Because his GTRs had been “Australianised” and were absolutely bullet-proof. Jim Richards & Mark Skaife we’re told by Fred Gibson “Just drive the cars as hard as you can, if it breaks, we’ll fix it and make sure it doesn’t break again” And that’s how Godzilla was born. FYI Godzilla was the tag from an Aussie magazine as well. - Because it came from Japan, and Decimated Everything.

[@rfcamaro89]

I may be a bit biased (owner of a 33), but I always preferred the R33 over the others, even since the late 90s/early 00's. I like the more rounded and understated looks. I greatly enjoy my '95 R33 GTR V-Spec. Such a fantastic car to drive and own. It gets lots of attention at Cars and Coffee meets, and has been a lot of fun to share with enthusiasts of all ages.

I remember 15 years ago you could pick up R33's for quite reasonable amounts of money, like 15-20k. TT Supras too. Most people settled for an R33 if they wanted a Skyline. 34's were still a relatively new car and cost twice as much back then. R32's were getting old and wasn't really getting restored or anything.

[@foodley123]

The R33 probably is the best overall to live with. Rear seat legroom is far superior to 32/34 under brakes from high speed the rear end of the 33 is far more settled I think this is down to the items located behind the rear seat front of trunk compartment. I also found that the programming of the front torque from the factory 4wd system is the best for deploying power than creating unwanted oversteer. However I have no experience with the 35 other than a few short drives.

[@tinystar3010]

For me personally, its the physical stats. I think R33 looks great. Beautiful car. But I dont like it for the same reasons I dont like R34, they're both bigger and heavier. And the argument that you can weight reduction the R33 and R34 is null because any weight reduction you can do to them can also be done to the R32 and the R32 will still out perform it. One of the bigger performance upgrades that matter is dropping weight. As you asked tho, if all stats were the same, just going off looks, I think I'd go R33. The R32 is beautiful but kinda understated. The R34 is gorgeous but stands out way too much. The R33 is the perfect blend between an exotic look but just under the radar enough that a quick glance might overlook it. But yeah, for me, its always been the weight issue. Weight matters in all aspects of performance. Acceleration, deceleration, braking, cornering, top speed, it's all affected by weight.

[@_suko_3656]

the r33 definitely outperforms the r32 in top speed. Top speed isn't defined by weight as it is aerodynamics, and the r33 is much more slippery compared to the r32, giving it a higher top speed. Also on the terms of weight, even though it's heavier than the 32 by about 200lbs, it's known to be a better handling car due to it's much improved weight distribution of 55/45 compared to the r32's distribution of 60/40, giving it the notorious "plough" into corners. Not to mention, it has a wider track and higher body rigidity, which the latter can affect performance more than weight savings, as a car that's flexing all the time can wear down tyres and impair handling of the vehicle. Better rigidity and weight distribution also helps with braking and acceleration under full throttle. There's many aspects and weight reduction, while important isn't everything to it.

[@tinystar3010]

All valid points

[@mikejovi980]

You seem to have forgotten it held the lap record at Nuremberg till the 911 turbo? came along.. it was faster then the r34 there too.. as far as weight goes it yes is slightly heavier but it also has better suspension design and the fact that the fuel tank isn't hanging over past the rear wheels like a pendulum and is inside the wheel base makes it superior in looks and performance. They also have the nicest interior of the lot and by far the most leg room between the 3 of them. You can fit 6ft tall people all round and be comphy not like the others

[@jdmglobalwarehouse]

Many people point out the size and weight as reasons for favoring the R32 over the R33 but the R33 was objectively faster (looking at Nurburgring times). Once you start modifying them that becomes less relevant but the reality is that it's just the looks.

[@pursuitforspeed]

wtf are you talking about? The R33 is vastly superior in the chassis design and the technology used. It is faster than a R32. wider track, better weight distribution and more rigid, not to mention improvements to the engine and better braking. There's so much that could be said on paper, but you need to actually drive these cars so you can see just how much more planted, stable and better handing a 33 gtr is over the 32. Overall weight is not everything.

The 33 has always been my favorite, an opinion that's never been shared by my friends or people who frequent the JDM shops that I used to hang out at. Like movies, looks are subjective and I'm perfectly fine being in the minority. Always have been when it comes to the car hobby.

[@morgithewitch]

The Calsonic R34 was always my Favorite in Gran Turismo, but the R33 Ive just always loved. I love the headlights. They are "commercial car" like but still has some style to it. Not just a solid bank of lights but its broken up a bit. I thought it looked smaller for the same god power of the even more "Econo-Box" looking R32. Which always reminded me of an Accord of that time just with its headlights already fogged out... :/w And when I spotted the R33 in Fast n Furious, I knew even the day I saw that movie and the other cars in it, "That skyline could whoop all those other cars butts... I know this from Gran Turismo..." And for years I wondered why it was never the main car because it was the monster of them all. Then Mr Lieberman explained that in a video a while ago. The R34, even though the inner onboard system was designed by Polyphony, was to aggressive looking for me. Like it had something to prove. I love the R33 just because its style suits me more. Laid back and unassuming but still the same as the others.

Actually, the r33 is my favorite of all gens. Especially the 400r GTR.

[@aldomandovani]

The R 33 is amazing......but I like GTRs in this order: 32 34 33 Kenmari 35 Hakosuka 30 31

[@61936]

There was no r30 or r31 gtr there was a r31 gtsr though

[@Andreas1931]

The R33 is actually my favorite Skyline 💗

[@phoebeeileenbrooks110]

It’s been my fave since I was a kid but now I’m worried that by making this video you’ve put peoples attention to the R33 and now I’ll DEFINITELY never own one 🤣 Great work tho! Love your vids!

[@yocartiergold7716]

Definitely the first GTR I seen and grew up wanting !!!! That 400 model I gotta have 🥵🥵

[@nativetrader3822]

R33 became my favorite GTR when I 1st saw the 400R in Gran Turismo.

[@matbodhi2794]

Autech 4Door and the ‘96 400R…. Absolute ❤️

[@Hoopers_s]

Its my favorite of all the gtr's I just love the curvy lines.

[@yeahbraah]

I had 1996 R33 gts-t series 2, loved that car.

[@jacobasuncion3132]

Honestly the R33 is my personal favorite Skyline GT-R and it is my dream car

[@john.s1962]

I like the look of the r33 the best, it has really nice flowing soft bodylines and is nicely rounded, and I love that sort ot design.

[@nickypoundtown9568]

I've always liked the smooth understated lines of the 33

[@Jacklumber86]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees the r33 looks like the series on s14 But the 33 is Definately my fave on the styling front, I prefer the more round lines of this model compared to the others

[@Eggyteevee]

R33 is by far my favorite GT-R of all, the looks, the power, everything on It, even the special versions are sick, like the Nismo 400R (which somehow raced in *Pikes Peak),* the GT-R LM Road Edition, basically the most insane GT-R, and since it's not as loved as the other GT-Rs, it ends up being cheaper and more affordable and i see this as a win-to-win situation

[@MILANOKIS]

I personally love it ever since Gran Turismo 2 came out and they had the Mines R33, hope to own a midnight purple vspec one day lol

[@justcallmemurf3181]

I love the R33. Ever since the original Gran Turismo. The yellow 400r was always my favorite in the game.

[@thatidiotguy4489]

I love the R32 I have one myself and It will always be my favorite GTR... But the R33 is just a absolute beauty in my books by far my second favorite GTR... Hell it was my favorite car in FF1... Seeing Leon's R33 made me really happy back then... I have no idea why everyone hates on it its even my wife's dream GTR

[@roninM88]

For me the R33 is love at first sight. And first time i saw it was Fast & Furious movie.Back then everyone talking about Supra, Charger, Eclipse, RX7 and even Jetta. But this mysterious yellow Nissan got under my skin. I think its all about how R33 looks, its calm and confident design - "hidden power" that's how i calling it.

[@robertlagarto6335]

Ur #1 fan from manila

[@E46_wagonlover]

I like the r32 because I didn’t care about skylines or anything JDM when I was younger. My dad always had classic cars when I was growing up, a 59 de Soto, 61 Chrysler 300, and my dads 67 gto to name the last 3 he had at one time. And at one of the shows I went to for the classics I saw a r32 with a single turbo conversion and I feel hard for it. I have pictures from 2013 that I took of it because it was that car that made me a true enthusiast. I didn’t like cars as much as I do now back then they were nice to look at but I didn’t really care about working on them, it was a chore to me. The man that I met with the r32 told me about the car and basically inspired me. It’s just sad I am 22 now and really want an r32 and I don’t have the money for it. I still have more years to buy one but I didn’t fall for a car for some silly reason as a movie or video game I met my hero in person and developed my love for it.

[@Andre3k1823]

It's been my favorite, it's the first one I really acknowledged.

[@MrDrifterdevin]

The first gtr I got to ride in was a motor rex r33, I'll never forget that day

[@STWERX]

R33 is dream car and working on purchasing one now

[@christopherhamilton8879]

The r33 was what made my discover skylines in the first place. From playing the original gran turismo.

[@sniparz_4204]

It was always my favorite skyline GTR and it’s still my dream car to this day

[@Ryanbmc4]

I've owned my R33 GTR for almost 7 years and when I bought it I wasn't thr biggest fan of the looks. It grew on me though. I'm moving to Arizona next month and I'm looking for Skyline owners to hang out with.

[@johnsantesson7161]

Love the r33 Gtr, I had the opportunity to buy before the price shot way up and it came with a bunch of extra's like Endless brakes, Te37 and already set up for track work, very OG, so glad I didn't let it get away, I just don't see why the r34 is demanding so much money compared to r33 Its almost the same car, I would like the Getrag 6 speed but I can always swap that in down the road.

[@t3h51d3w1nd3r]

They’re all beasts, the r32 introduced us to the insanity, the r33 continued the trend,plus it grew with the tuning scene and the r34 looks unreal with the advantage of a matured tuning market fully able to unlock its potential.

[@andrewrollason4963]

DR30S is what introduced us to the insanity. R31 with the RB30 gave us the ability to unlock the potential in the tuning market. Heck, VL with RB30DETT by OS Giken is about as insane as you can get.
