WTB: R33 GTR LM Limited

[Steve85]

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.

Still searching for an LM... One was offered to me, however 800hp might be too much for me to handle!

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.

One coming through auction this week 139k 3.5

@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.

[Steve85]

@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.

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

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.

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.

Hmmm it's listed with less km on the yahoo ad...

I'll keep looking

[Steve85]

@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.

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!
