So after a week, here is the second part of the history of the Nissan Skyline GT-R. Starting with the R33 Skyline GT-R
Ok, the R33 Nissan Skyline GT-R is consider to be the least successful. The main problem people had with it, was it got a lot heavier compared to the out going model. It used the same engine and turbo chargers. But with the added weight, it felt awkward in the corners. It is consider to be the only disappointment in the GT-R line.
The R34 is probably the generation of Skyline GT-R that people think of. It has starred in movies like the Fast and Furious series, and has become a staple of racing games.(apparently Gran Turismo 5 has 10000 different skylines). It has become the dream car to many that have played those racing games or watch the movies that had this car in them. This generation used the RB26DETT engine had a 6 speed manual transmission. This car was designed to shorter then the previous generations. The front overhang was shorten. This was all due to the negative reaction of the R33. Plus it looks a hell a lot better than the R33, and in my opinion, the R32. This was also the last Skyline to get a GT-R. The GT-R had become a separate model that premiered in 2008.
See ya guys later, when I will talk about a different JDM car's history. Maybe the Supra or the miata. Why don't you leave a comment on what cars you want featured?
