Performance Car Lounge with Stuart Ellis

Is the R33 GT-R really the “ugly duckling” of the Skyline family, or is it the most underrated JDM legend? In this in-depth owner review, I take you through my 1995 Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R—covering its history, design, technical improvements, and what it’s actually like to drive and own one today. We’ll explore how the R33 evolved from the iconic R32, the engineering upgrades that made it stiffer, more balanced, and more advanced, and why it didn’t enjoy the same racing success as its predecessor. I’ll also compare it to the R34 GT-R and bust some common myths about the R33 being a “boat.” Whether you’re a die-hard GT-R fan, a JDM enthusiast, or just curious about what makes the R33 special, this video is for you!

Ever dreamed of owning a flagship Mercedes-Benz S-Class but thought it was out of reach? In this video, I take you on a tour and test drive of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid AMG – a car that once cost over $200,000, but now can be yours for the price of a used Corolla! We’ll explore its stunning AMG touches, luxurious interior, high-tech features, and what it’s really like to drive a car that was once called “the best in the world.” Is this the ultimate bargain in luxury motoring, or is there a catch? I’ll break down the top things I love (and a few things I don’t). If you’re a car enthusiast, a bargain hunter, or just want to live like a Baller, this review is for you!
