Toprank Classic Specialities × STF: R33 GT-R Tuning Project | Customer Interview

The car featured in this video is a Nissan Skyline R33 GT R, meticulously upgraded by Toprank Shizuoka Technical Factory (STF) in Japan into an impressive 700 horsepower JDM street machine. Powered by the legendary RB26 engine, this build showcases the level of craftsmanship often associated with Toprank Japan and high end import car culture. In the interview, owner Harry shares why he chose the R33 and what the build process was like, offering honest insights into his journey with the car.


One comment that stood out was his focus on achieving a perfect balance, a car that is not exhausting to drive daily yet delivers power the moment you need it. Through precise engine build upgrades, transmission setup, and chassis reinforcement, the R33 achieves a well rounded specification capable of both spirited street driving and mountain road performance. It highlights the versatility that makes the JDM GT R platform so iconic.


Finally, it was clear that both Harry and the STF team see this GT R as a long term partner. Rather than a one time tuning project, the car has been developed with ongoing maintenance and longevity in mind. This approach not only appeals to GT R and JDM enthusiasts but also provides practical value for owners who seek real world usability in a performance oriented Nissan Skyline. The full video captures this passion and authenticity, so we highly recommend watching it.
