This is the car to beat all cars when it comes to import building, the car has everything that fan, driver or the import builder needs, without having to resort to taking ideas from other cars. The Nissan Skyline is one of the original and still one of the best cars developed for real drivers and builders.
It is estimated that when someone finally sits down and thinks that building their own car is what they really want to do, the Nissan Skyline would be the first car thought of ninety per cent of the time, which is a great testament to design and style of this car, which first appeared in 1995.
This is a fourth generation version of the Nissan Skyline the R33 is placed conveniently in the middle of the three R’s, the original power came from a 2.6 litre coupled with a five speed manual gearbox, it would delivered 400 HP, but with some tweaking 500 HP was easily attainable and yet this is just the beginning of the work ahead.
