Daft I know but were/are there any uk spec R33's or were they all imported?

Just wondering really.

there were some middlehurst uk R33 (claimed), but i think in insurance terms they were all still imports, no official uk skylines till the r34 i think???

Thats what I was thinking. Amazing what you think of while having a poo ;)

I thought there were 100 of them 'officially' imported by Nissan, unveiled

at the clothes show live or something like that?

there were some official imports, but I'm not so sure they would class as UK models! Don't know why they didnt offer them to the UK back then, would they not have sold?

Agreed, this is what I was aware of as well. Middlehurst was the only 'Officially' supplier of the R34 to UK spec, they also imported Eliza :dance: :duffer:

no they were classed as UK models, they had different lights fitted, upgraded oil and diff coolers on them and i think a slightly different interior

yes, as far as im aware middleshursts imported them and there were 100 in total, all R34's.. the main differences being stated above aswell as the geo-reading/display unit was all translated into english, better diff, alower susp, and nismo coolers.. I think they had a rear diffuser .. overall I think they were better than the jdm.. which is odd..
