NISSAN SKYLINE R33

NISSAN SKYLINE R33

The Fast and the Furious franchise has done a lot to bring the Skyline R33 into the spotlight, as one of the films protagonists frequently drives a highly modified one. The R33 was released in 1993. There were various engines available for the R33, the most powerful of which was the 295 horsepower, turbocharged RB28DET engine. Some models came equipped with a new version of the High Capacity Actively Controlled Steering (HICAS) 4-wheel steering system called Super HICAS. This computer controlled system was first used on the R32 GT-R. Super HICAS used electric actuators to steer the rear, as opposed to the hydraulic HICAS. An active limited slip differential was available instead of the standard viscous LSD. The unit would lock the rear diff if it detected traction was lost by one of the wheels.
