We first saw Billy’s 96 R33 GTS-T on our forum earlier in the month where he introduced himself and threw some photos up. It had us, right from the start, and when we found out Billy was only 17 years old when he had his R33 imported from Japan, it had us that much more excited. Imagine still being on your learners permit and having a Skyline just tucked away in the garage every morning as you start your day off. Not too long ago, our friend Ryan Gillin and Billy met up in the wonderful Melbourne, Australia to get a few proper pictures for us to drool over. Results are awesome, take a look for yourself.

Those classic creases on the R33 body are indeed starting to show their age, so a light touch of carbon fiber was added on the trunk, as well as a very small roof spoiler (which blends in with rest of the body as if it were factory). Other than that you’re looking at a bone stock R33 GTS-T body.
Car is also sitting on Enkei RPF1 SBC wheels, 18x10.5 (+15) w/235/40 tire in the rear, and 17×9.5 (-2 (20mm adapter)) up front w/215/45 Bridgestone Potenza tires. For the suspension, he is running Tein HR springs, Cusco front upper arm, rear camber arms, hicas lock bar, and front and rear whiteline adjustable swaybars. He is currently a full time student and the financial situation isnt the greatest, but he has plans to get a lot more meat for those tires and actually get his R33 on the track more often.
We’ve attached a couple photos on the very bottom that show Billy ripping it up on the track even with his current setup. While it may not be the fastest thing around, we’re willing to bet that it must be a blast! It’s a real honor to share this car with you. Hopefully we’ll be able to showoff some more cars from Australia in the near future.
Let’s end this with a couple more awesome pictures by Ryan and and a huge thank you to both Ryan as well as Billy obviously. If you’re interested in showing us your car and possibly getting featured on StanceNation make sure you shoot us an email with some pictures of your cars!
