What Engine Did This Car Come With

[4drlvr]

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

The VIN on the firewall, and then punch that into Nissan FAST software and it will tell you everything about it, color, transmission, options, build date etc

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

[mad082]

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!

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:
