Does anyone know if these cars came with a specific build number eg no. 5 of 98 produced?

Ok guys, I have signed up on the gtr.co.uk forums and am madly stalking any LM owner I come across. Looks like there are some very nice examples in the UK, yours included Will! Hopefully we will hear back from some of those guys on here as well.

Are most of you guys on facebook? Is it worth me setting up a dedicated R33 GTR LM Owners (Past and Present) page on there?


Edited by Chris_H

You're getting there Chris. Slowly but surely lol. Good work.

It would be good to find out how many were ordered/made in standard gtr form and how many in the v-spec option. I've been told or read that only 14 were ordered in v-spec but nothing to say thats official

Out of the guys here, who has a V-spec then? Please edit the list and copy/paste.

and thats just for starters...haha

Hey folks, this is Marco, already reading this forum a couple of years, but never joined, now you guys gave me a reason.

Maybe it would be interesting, if everybody could post it's VIN, because there is no special number for every piece, in my knowledge. I already collected a couple of them and found out, that the LM's weren't build in a row...

JM Imports (UK) imported mine in 2011 nearly stock from Japan, after unhappy conditons, a following 3 year-taking rebuild&upgrading of chassis and engine, it came alive again. Speclist is too long to post it here, only have a thread on german www.skyline-forum.de, doesn't really make sence to post it here, in my opinion.

So good to see this list growing! And some amazing cars too! Please update the list as you can with whether your car is V-Spec or not, so we can see if this 14 out 0f 98 rumour has any substance to it...


Thank you guys for welcome me!

Ken, me too, don't forget me ;-)

Will, i'm glad, you had the balls and decided to rescue... and Bob is defintive the best for this job, i loving his work since days one i recognized his thread on GT-R froum!

Mine is a Non-VSpec too. But i know a guy from Austria, who owned a VSpec till some months ago, car is still in Austria, but i don't know the new owner, yet. I'll try to find out.

If you are intrested in my build, you can have a look on my/our facebook-site, there are a ahdn full of skylines, we're doing. But as i said, it's only german for now and i would please you to like, but not share it. It's just not for everybody... https://www.facebook.com/pages/RB-Performance/644403362254325?sk=photos_stream&tab=photos_albums

Regards, Marco.

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
