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??

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:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
