The 1995 Nissan Skyline GTS belongs to the R33 generation of Nissan's iconic sports car lineup. While it is often overshadowed by its legendary big brother---the twin-turbocharged, all-wheel-drive GT-R---the GTS models serve as highly collectible, rear-wheel-drive classics that are much more accessible and affordable.
Depending on the exact trim package, a 1995 GTS can feature drastically different engine configurations:
- GTS: The base model features a naturally aspirated 2.0L RB20E straight-six engine. It is built mainly as a comfortable daily cruiser or entry-level tuner platform.
- GTS23 (or GTS-25): Stepping up to a 2.5L RB25DE engine. It offers improved naturally aspirated performance (around 190 horsepower).
- GTS25-t (GTS-T): The highly sought-after performance variant. It comes equipped with a 2.5L turbocharged RB25DET engine producing roughly 247 to 250 horsepower.
- GTS-4: A unique version featuring the naturally aspirated 2.5L engine paired with Nissan's ATTESA four-wheel-drive system rather than the standard rear-wheel drive.
Key Features of the 1995 Model
- Improved Chassis: Compared to the older R32 generation, the 1995 R33 has a longer wheelbase and a stiffer chassis. This yields better structural rigidity, a smoother ride, and fewer cabin squeaks.
- Type M Packages: The "Type M" designation adds aggressive aerodynamic body kits, larger brakes, and stiffer suspension from the factory.
