we did have an astro van but that was boring so we believe it or not SWAPPED it for an r33 skyline GT-R.

its a late 94 model so its an early r33. might have to get a turbo for it as it isn't turbo'd

Then are you sure it's a GT-R? (They were twin turbos weren't they?)

Regardless, it's a nice looking motor. thumbup

I thought all GTR's were Turbos? And the non turbos were known as simply R32's, R33's etc?

The GTR was a 2.6 Twin Turbo RB26DETT
The 2.5 was avalable with or without a turbo.
And the 2.0 was also avalable with or without a turbo.

Its the same for R32 and R33 Skylines.

Edit to add : That skyline pictured just has a Standard kit. The GTR had a different body-kit compared to the rest of the range.

And as far as i know its not just as simple to bolt on the turbo.

To be fair to the guy, it is registered as a GTR
MID database says it is a
NISSAN SKYLINE GT-R R33

not much help i no but dvla say its the 2.0 and im guessing an import as the year of manufacture is 1994 but the date of first registration is 2005.
either way i still love the skylines no matter what type they are
