About the Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33)

The R33 Skyline GT-R had the impossible job of following the R32, and for years it was unfairly treated as the awkward middle child. In reality, it is a more stable, more mature GT-R with improved aerodynamics and a chassis that can be very fast when set up correctly. It still carries the core RB26DETT and ATTESA formula, just with a slightly grander feel.
