Hey everybody,

After talking to a few other R33 GTR LM owners, we think it would be a good idea to try and get some kind of register going. Considering there were only 98 of these released, it would be great to see how many made it to Australia, and even how many we can track down around the globe.

To make a start, if you could add your details to the list, and copy and paste that to your post to keep it going. Previous owners feel free to join as well, just make mention of the fact you are a previous owner. Feel free to chuck up a photo of your ride too.

If anyone knows of any other R33 GTR LMs out there please send me a PM.

Cheers in advance.

Great Idea fellas, definitely one of the more rare GTR models and it would be interesting to see how many are remaining out there. Its good to see a bloke named "livewire" with a such clean looking stock example ;)

Also, I wonder if NISSAN Motor Co are looking into launching a new road going LM now that they are re-entering le man in 2015!!

Hi guys,

I have 1 more for you to add to your list. After 2 years of enjoyable motoring a relatively small problem led to bigger ones. Now It's a long term project that I have been working on along with zealou5 here in England....well they have been working and I have been getting in the way. Please have a look at the car and the project thread below.

Thanks

Are there any articles on BCNR33 LMs in the UK?

I'll try and dig up what I have and check with Express Publications if any back issues still exist.

By the way, HPI referred to above stands for "High Performance Imports" now renamed, "Performance Imports" magazine.

Stay tuned to this thread Will! :)

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
