It’s not an S-chassis … so I don’t like it …

But srsly, it looks alright. Never was a fan of R33’s, but like said above, to each his own.

I agree with everyone else, the Advanti’s do look out of place…

I love the look of R33’s though. They look a lot like Zenki S14’s.

So how was dealing with Right Drive?

I spoke to the owner once, can’t remember his name… I was working at CT in Ajax in late 2008 when he was looking for a part for a RHD twin turbo FD. Seemed like a nice guy.

Prices are pretty high though, how’s the quality vs. price? Was it worth it, or over-inflated?

hahaha shit i didn’t even realize these pics were taken in Bolton the first time i looked at them! i blew the original motor on my FC whilst peeling out of that very same parking lot. i live in Palgrave so i’ll keep my eyes open for ya when i’m in town!

anyways, i’m not a huge R33 fan, but the car looks good. change the wheels, side-skirts, front bumper, remove the wing, and go a bit lower (once the snow is gone obviously) and you’re golden!

are you driving it for the rest of the winter or storing it? this warm spell won’t last forever…

Nice car. Looks good.  
Stock gtr wing looks good.

Don’t listen the the haters or the “I don’t like r33’s” bandwagon people.  
They are great cars.

I was going to get one but I ended up with my Silvia instead.  
Any good BS could fix the front bumper for you.

I agree, get rid of the right hand drive sticker…  
Veloz, how do you know that it’s a good car? Ever owned or driven one for a long enough period to make that judgement?

Most people don’t like it mainly because of the looks…R32 and R34 are the good looking ones.

Same with 240s…the S13 and S15.

I’d still say that even if I owned an R33 or S14.

And I’m not trying to start any S13 vs S14 or R32 vs R33 wars here.

As long as he likes the car, in which the title states he does, then it’s all good.
