Nissan Skyline GT-R R33

1995–1998 · BCNR33 · coupe

RB26DETT 2.6L twin-turbo I6 carried over from R32, still factory-rated at 276hp. Stiffer body, longer wheelbase, improved weight distribution, and the upgraded ATTESA E-TS PRO AWD system with an active LSD. 5-speed manual. R33 was the first production car to lap the Nürburgring in under 8 minutes (per Best Motoring). Production ended November 1998. The 'unloved middle child' of the trio, bigger and softer than the R32, less iconic than the R34, which is exactly why it's the value play right now.

Watch out: Same RB26 oil pump drive issue as R32, non-negotiable upgrade on any car kept past stock power. Beyond that, the longer wheelbase makes R33s more comfortable but also a bit floatier than R32/R34; budget for upgraded dampers if you track it.
