HISTORY
After the R32 ceased production, the R33 Skyline (series one) was introduced in August 1993. Slightly heavier than the R32, and available as a two and four door, all models now used a six cylinder engine. Nissan took the unusual step of downgrading the GTS model to have only the RB20E, while the twin-cam of the R32 GTS was discontinued along with the 2.0l turbo RB20DET.

Some models came equipped with a new version of the HICAS four wheel steering system called Super HICAS. This computer-controlled four wheel steering system was previously featured on the R32 GT-R. It moved the rear wheels via a small electric motor situated on the rear differential instead of being a hydraulic type 4WS unit such as on the R32.

1995
The R33 Skyline (series two) continued the concepts introduced in the R32, and furthered them. Driver airbags became standard in 1995, they were an option up until this time. The ignition system was also changed, with the ignition module no longer located on the cam covers. The turbo was also given a nylon compressor wheel. Throughout the time the R33 was produced there were quite a number of different styled lights and bodykits fitted, the actual body never changed.
