>tfw people only care about video game Skylines

At least we can all agree the R35 doesn't even qualify to be on the scale.

You're all actually so fucking retarded.

If you actually think that anything in the series is better than the R34 then you don't know a fucking thing about cars and need to off yourselves instantly.

The R34 is the peak of performance, power, and design for the Skyline series. Nothing will ever come close to it.

This. R34 was a truly fantastic car, hating it being a popular option makes people forget what started the fanboyism in the first place

Following the end of R34 production in 2002, Nissan announced they would separate the GT-R model from the Skyline name, creating an entirely new vehicle—though based on the same platform as the Skyline. This new car, now known simply as the Nissan GT-R, debuted in 2007 in Tokyo. Released to consumers in 2008, it was the first GT-R available worldwide, entering the North American market for the first time.

>>16622613
Exactly fucking this. Just because it got typecast for one role doesn't mean it can't do other roles equally as well.

>>16622611
No, it isn't.

>Same "fucks up supercars with pure engineering and technology" bullshit
So will a Supra or an E36 M3 with a small fortune dumped into it. The requisite for being a "Skyline" at this point is the nameplate, and the GT-R does not bear the Skyline nameplate.

>same design.
Yeah nah, you're bent m8. If all it takes is round headlights I ought to slap a GT-R sticker on the back of a Chevy Cobalt and rake in all the car grrrls at JDM meets.

>>16622620
Only it doesn't do them equally as well. It has potential to handle and put down its power well, but so does just about anything with enough spent on it.

For your average "I drive a MK4 Supra daily" purposes, it doesn't need to handle like a track monster as much as it needs enough grunt to pull itself along and shame a couple of expensive European sports cars and V8 muscle barges along the way.

>>16622676
Still better than the R35.

>>16622640
I never agreed with the "given enough money anything can be good" argument, not because it's necessarily wrong, but because it's meaningless. It doesn't refute or establish anything, it just posits a hypothetical absurdity.

Sure, yes, given enough money any car can be made to do anything. So? Given enough time, everything becomes an eventuality. What does either have to do with anything?

Should we go into Geo Metro threads and reply "with $100,000 this is the best car, lmao." No, because it's not a productive or interesting point of discussion, and this one centers around the idea that the Supra can do more than one thing well. Which it can. I'm not sure why or how spending money on other cars to do similar things well suddenly discounts this.

The cost-to-performance-potential ratio is all relative anyway, which I thought would be understood to be a given, considering what we're talking about.

Anyway, vroom vroom.

Your opinion.

>>16622768
And that busts the argument of "Supra can handle too". Yeah, it can. With shitloads invested into it.

It's easier to make a Supra go fast in a line than one that can take corners at speed. It's inherently better at being a dyno queen or a drag machine than a time attack car.

>>16623050
>It's easier to make a Supra go fast in a line than one that can take corners at speed

That's where the fallacy comes in. You can have it excel in other departments given an equal or proportional amount of money as would be invested in its "popular" purpose.

Welcome aboard!

>>16622091
GT-R Power Rankings:
R34 - It may suck, but it was ultimately one of the biggest reasons the nameplate had the recognition to go global. Also, it didn't completely suck.
KPGC10 - If this was comparing the GT-R and it's significance to Japan as a whole... but this isn't. However, this car started the nameplate and set the tone for all future GT-R's and Skyline's in general.
R32 - Put the GT-R on the map in regions outside of Japan and gave it it's racing and performance pedigree in a new technological era.
R35 - Showed the world that Nissan's GT-R was more than just a touring car with performance chops by stunning some of the biggest names in performance cars with it's prowess. Made the name a truly global one.
KPGC110 - Aesthetically pleasing, but altogether lost to the annals of time. Nostalgia for what could have been is all it really has going for it.
R33 - The collective "meh" of GT-R's. Bloated compared to the R32, lacking in technology compared to the R34 and altogether a capable but forgettable machine.

Skyline Power Rankings (Non-GT-R):
Couldn't even tell you.

>>16626181
Oh fuck i worked on this car.

>>16627898
I honestly wish they would make a GTS-T again. A Q60 coupe with RWD LSD, VR30DDTT with ~500 horsepower, and a manual or DCT would be nice. A Q50 4 door version would be pretty cool too. It would compete with the M3 and M4. Focusing on really getting their power steering right and ditching adaptive steering, unfucking their infotainment so one is for critical functions like HVAC and car information while the second screen is exclusively a head unit + navigation would go a long way to improving things there.

>>16627962

>>16627858
Aren't R33s already crash tested in murrica and therefore legal?

>>16627962
>R33
>Meh

It was a technological marvel compared to the 32 and a significantly more stable car for dem high speed runs. Definitely the most underrated GTR.

>>16628008
Yes, but legalization for crash safety is like 40k.

Even at the 25 year mark most importers don't think that you're going to spend the 60k that it would take to import one now.

>>16628016
It was, but only under the skin. The interior and overall design was very much a modernized R32.

>>16627970
Sauce? Proof? Detaials? Moar? Splain?

>>16622091
Why are R33 the lesser seen between r32, r33, r34 and r35? At least in the cities I've lived in never had any.

>>16628079
Because R32s and R35s are ubiquitous and mass produced. Not sure why you would see more R34s, though.

>>16628079
I see 33s daily, the GTR 32s are getting rarer for sure but all those base models are still kicking around (Like that stupid 4 door 4 pot auto with the ugliest front/rear ends ever) and the 34 was never sold in huge numbers so they're pretty rare in general.

>>16628079
R33 is unpopular. 16k made compared to 43k R32 GTRs.

As far as GTR production figures, 43k R32s, 16k R33s, 11k R34s.

The R34 was unpopular.

>>16628133
>production figures are solely proportional to popularity

That r32 sleek line, japanese design at the best

>>16628214
It's undeniable that people look on the R34 with rose-tinted glasses. People only really wanted them once they were gone.

I think it was more that the r32 was made during a time where japan andd the global economy in general was booming so people could afford sports cars.

We can only pray people buy the merc inline 6 and it convinces other manufacturers to follow suit

Hypothetically how much would I need to deposit and pay a month on a 32 GT-R?

I want one sooooo bad

>>16628960
The R34 was made in an era where an STI or Evo was faster. It did not fix the oodles of weaknesses in the RB26 and still used fragile ceramic turbos. The ECU was shared with the R33. The brakes were identical. The drag coefficient was higher than R33. Weight distribution was still front heavy like the R33.

Really, the R34 at the time was not what it needed to be. It was the ultimate RB26 GT-R but the vast majority of those changes were easily added to the R33 because they were so similar.

>>16628971
Aluminum makes power just fine, look at the VR38. And balance matters more than pure power.

>>16628981
Probably about half down. I would be very cautious about buying these cars because they can easily become money pits.

>>16628981
>want one sooooo bad

You are too late. If only you were in Canada but the ones here are beaten to shit and thanks to being a legal import to Americunts, niggers here are reselling them at 25k fishing some gullible folks across the border. 3 years ago decent ones were like 15K CAD and converted to USD it would be a steal.
Wait till R33's get legal in the next couple years, you'll have a chance.

>>16628997
So what you're saying is, the R33 is the golden standard.

You're all fucking retarded.

Out of the big three, the R33 is known as the better one due to weight and they actually improved on it over the 32. Also sub 8 hurrdurrring.

>>16630494
Technically the R34 is the best stock to stock. The R33 shipped with .85 bar of boost so made roughly 300-310 HP while the R34 made something like 340 HP due to the new ceramic ball bearing turbos and camshaft changes.

Also, the R34 has front and rear diffusers that actually did things for aerodynamics. Not just for show. You can retrofit the rear diffuser to the R33 but I haven't seen anyone try to do the same for the front, probably doesn't fit.

The R33 does have higher potential though. If you add a lot of the changes from the R34 into the R33 you can end up with a better car.

>>16630588
>Until you floor it

>>16633305
???

>>16623092
i believe the r35 is more aerodynamic though.

>>16633778
It is. Significantly so. However the design still doesn't have good front downforce.

The R32 actually has front lift which makes it terrifying at speed. The front tires unload which means the steering gets light and understeer becomes a problem.
