Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 (BCNR33): Complete Parts Guide

The Nissan Skyline GT-R R33, chassis code BCNR33, is the most unfairly criticised generation of the GT-R family — and the savviest buy in today's market. Produced from 1995 to 1998, the R33 set the Nürburgring record for a production car (7:59) in 1995, silencing critics with pure performance. With the R34 skyrocketing in value, the BCNR33 offers genuine GT-R DNA at a fraction of the price.

At Grovexo, we stock authentic Nissan Skyline R33 GTR parts sourced directly from Japan — genuine OEM, ready to ship worldwide.

What's Different on the R33 vs R32?

The R33 improved on the R32 in virtually every measurable way:

• 6-speed gearbox: Closer ratios, better high-speed acceleration
• ATTESA E-TS Pro: Active yaw control via the rear differential — more sophisticated than R32
• Larger body: Better high-speed stability, more interior space
• Updated RB26DETT: Revised turbos, improved cooling
• V-spec: Special version with Brembo brakes, NISMO LSD, and uprated suspension

RB26DETT R33 Engine Parts

The R33 uses an updated RB26DETT with revised intake and exhaust ports for improved flow. It's fully compatible with most R32 RB26 components but benefits from R33-specific head gaskets and cooling components.

R33 GTR Drivetrain — 6-Speed Gearbox & ATTESA Pro

The R33's 6-speed Getrag gearbox is a major advantage over the R32. It's stronger, has better ratios for track use, and is compatible with sequential conversion kits. The ATTESA E-TS Pro system adds active rear differential control for superior handling balance.

Key R33 drivetrain parts: 6-speed gearbox assembly, transfer case, front prop shaft, rear differential (VLSD/ATTESA Pro), clutch kit (OEM or uprated), gearbox mounts, driveshaft CV joints.

R33 GTR V-Spec Parts — The Premium Version

The R33 V-Spec (also V-Spec II) came with factory Brembo calipers, NISMO LSD, and stiffer suspension from the factory. V-Spec specific parts are particularly sought after:

• Brembo front 4-pot calipers (V-Spec)
• NISMO mechanical limited-slip differential
• V-Spec stiffer front struts
• V-Spec rear spoiler (carbon fibre option)

R33 GTR Suspension & Brakes

The R33 uses a revised multi-link suspension setup with improved geometry versus the R32. Standard cars had 2-pot front calipers; V-Spec got Brembo 4-pots.

R33 suspension parts: Front struts and springs, front lower control arms, rear upper and lower arms, sway bars (front and rear), tie rod ends, HICAS eliminator kit. R33 brake parts: Front calipers (standard or V-Spec Brembo), rotors, pads, brake master cylinder, braided lines.

R33 GTR Exterior Body Parts

The R33's wider, more aggressive body uses BCNR33-specific panels that differ from the GTS-T variants. Genuine panels are essential for correct fitment and finish.

Most wanted R33 body parts: Front bumper, bonnet, front fenders (wide GTR spec), headlight assemblies, rear bumper, boot lid, side skirts, rear spoiler, door mirror assemblies, rear taillight units.
