Hi Guys,

Im looking at buyin a complianced GTR without the engine as per my post in the Wanted to buy section. I'm currently looking at an LM edition from Perth and wanted to know what engine and gear box this car originally came with.

Ive searched the net and there are info on the 400r's but not the LM edition. Hence I wanted to know if anyone know's.

Also how would i be able to pick if this car is an original LM Edition. Is there a stamp or sumtin on the body/ chassic somewhere??

Cheers

Ray

There are 2 R33 GTR LM Editions built for the 24 Hours of Le Mans Race, but I assume you have found the Street Legal Version, as the 2 Race Versions are sitting in Nissan's warehouse.

For all I know, the R33 GTR LM Edition still ran with the RB26DETT but it was enlarged to a 2.8Lt and had a 6 speed gearbox.

Surprisingly they are RWD.

You will have to get the VIN Numbers and run it through the Nissan FAST System, or post it up in the Nissan FAST Thread and some can decode it for you.

I believe there will be a build plate to say if it is a genuine R33 GTR LM Edition.

In honor of the success of the Skyline at Le Mans, the Street Legal Version I think they only came with a RB26DETT, Nissan marketed a Limited Edition R33 referred to as "LM Limited".

Not many Street Legal Versions were built and were only available in Competition Blue or (maybe) Champion Blue - BT2 (Paint Code) You will probably find this on the Plaque.

Hi Thanks for the reply. Holy s**t didnt know that they were RWD. So to get this straight your not saying that theres a switch or sumtin like that to dis-engage the front diffs??

I was really after the AWD factor, hmmmm.....

Ive got the Vin and ive posted it in the Nissan Fast thread so we'll c how it goes. Bugger that the cars a RWD :action-smiley-069:

well technically speaking, no gtr is awd. they are rwd with the ability to drive the front wheels when traction is lost on the rear wheels. well that is my understanding of the attesa system anyway. they aren't like a subaru where they have a 50/50 split at all times.

No worries! :action-smiley-069:

Well the Race Versions are RWD...

As for the Street Legal Versions, I assume they are just the same as a standard GTR, AWD/4WD...

The only SAU Member I know who has a LM Edition is JD_R33, you could PM him about what it exactly came with.

I believe the LM Editions are based on R33 GTR V-Spec's.

If so, V-Spec's had sportier suspension (I would say firmer) = Lower ground clearance.

A newer ATTESA E-TS Pro All Wheel Drive System + Active Limited Slip Differential.

Four wheel independent channel anti-lock braking system.

Check the paint code on the plate in the engine bay - if it's a genuine R33 LM it should be BT2 (Champion Blue).

As above, they are the same as a normal R33 GTR V-Spec as far as the engine/AWD/drivetrain/suspension etc are concerned.

Main differences are cosmetic like the blue paintwork, a carbon fibre rear wing blade, C pillar stickers and bonnet lip.

Once again thanks fellas thats some good info. JD_R33 have you got any pic of the interior maybe where the number of the as in "X of 99" did they have a different cluster, launch control, or anything of that sort. I cant seem to find any info with regards to this kind of info or is it just a name thats smacked onto the car other than that its the same as a r33 gtr??

Only differences are those mentioned in the earlier posts, the paint code on the engine bay plate is your best bet for confirming it's an LM.

Should look something like this:

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
