Wanted to buy: R33 GTR LM Limited 

Currently I have engaged an importer in the hopes of turning up an R33 GTR LM at the Japanese auctions.

Ideally the car will have: 100k or less kms. Prefer original condition, however I would still be interested in hearing from you if you have a modified car.

I'm based in Melbourne, but I would consider any car currently in Australia.

Thanks for the link @I gotta R34gtr v-spec, I am having someone (who knows a little more than I) investigate it for me. 

If anyone else turns up any other GTR LM Limited's I would still be keen to hear from you. :)

This is not important. If anyone turns up an LM in Japan please let me know, i'm searching myself, but others may find things I miss. I have someone in Japan who is willing to look at these for me so all cars are applicable to my search.

@sin-, that's great to hear. Do you have any further details you can give me? A link or where the car is going to auction or it's current location?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

@sin-, thanks for the tip off. I have asked my contact in Japan to check it out. Funnily enough he said he already had the paperwork and sent it straight through.

One coming through auction this week 139k 3.5

Took a very long hard look at this car. Apparently had a lot of interest on the day.

The car itself looked good from the outside, but the underside had a coating of surface rust (not a huge) problem, there were quite a few clamps, connectors and other bits and pieces that would have needed replacing. 

The real issue was a whole lot of rust surrounding the passenger side suspension upright. The way it was currently it couldn't have been complied before the repairs. Based on suspected work that was needed, I ended up bidding for it with a limit of 2m yen, the car ended up being sold for approx 2.5m yen.

Might want to confirm VIN before proceeding further with that one.

Thanks @sin-, i'm having this one looked at.

^^ So the car at Garage Yoshida turned out to be the exact same car that had been auctioned a week earlier.

I didn't bother to have it inspected further as I knew its condition at the auction and wasn't keen on it. For reference the asking price for the car (which I assume had been repaired) was 3.5million Yen.

@sin-, appreciate your help. 

I can explain that one, the Auction listed the actual kms travelled as it had a changeover dash cluster. The Garage Yoshida listed the kms on the odometer only.

Where were you when user livewire had his LM for sale, it was beautiful. Good luck with your search!

Yeah, that was my bad... I hadn't quite made up my mind/got my life in order at that point. I'm sorted now.

I have one lined up, I just have to organise a couple of things. Once I have it locked down, i'll be sharing more details.

@sin-, thanks for letting me know. I actually have just purchased one from a SAU member.

I am just working through some details (minor repairs) and shipping, then i will be letting everyone know what I have done!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
