1996 R33 Nissan Skyline Gtr Lm Limited Vspec - 1 Of 98 Made - 1 Of 14 Vspecs on 2040-cars
Patterson Lakes, VIC, Australia
This is one very special and highly collectable Nissan Skyline GTR, It is the LM Limited edition with the LM = Le Mans.
In 1996 Nissan Motor Co. Japan released only 98 of this model to the japanese market and only 14 VSPEC's... this being a VSPEC it is extremely rare!! (I have an email from Nissan Motor Co. Japan confirming the limited production numbers) The LM Limited was built to commemorate Nissan entering 2 R33 GTR race cars in 1995 Le Mans 24hr where the number 22 car finished 10th overall, this was incredible considering it was essentialy running the same RB26 motor and going up against supercars of that era like the Mclaren F1 GTR. Limited Edition factory fitted extras: Championship Blue duco (code BT2) Carbon Fibre Rear Wing Blade N1 Front Brake Cooling Ducts N1 Bonnet Lip Commemorative GT-R Decals on C-Pillars This particular example has been kept to its original OEM stock form and presents itself like a new car. I am a Meticulous owner and have only put 1700 km's on it in the time I've owned it starting it up once a week and I try to get out for a drive atleast once a month just to make sure everything is running smooth... It really does drive like a new car. I have used the best oils and filters to maintain this vehicle, Royal Purple and Nismo Veruspeed Oil Filter and HKS panel air filter. I am the first registered owner in Australia and it came from Nissan Sales Co. Fukui - Japan where they completed an engine overhaul at 82k changing all belts etc. (100k service) I will throw in all the memorabilia I have collected including the original dealers catalogue, blank GTR key, official Nissan Licensed Models. With not many examples left in their original form this car is highly collectable and it needs to be seen to be appreciated, it's the cleanest R33 GTR going around! Open to reasonable offers but in no rush to sell I Would like to see this car go to an enthusiast who will preserve it's originality It will only appreciate in Value $$$ I will assist in transportation to Melbourne Docks, The importation process is obviously up to the prospective buyer. *Please take note I have listed it as a 1980 year model car due to the VIN not being detected through the US ebay... Its actually 1996 year of manufacture. VIN - BCNR33023134 Please feel free to PM me your inquiries Thank you for looking |

IIHS gives good ratings to 4 of 8 midsize pickups in crash test
Wed, Sep 6 2017Versions of the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon Crew Cab earned top ratings in a new crash test of midsize pickup trucks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, while two versions of the Nissan Frontier earned marginal ratings. But the organization gave poor marks to all eight pickups tested for their dim headlights. Overall, four of the eight pickups evaluated earned good ratings for protecting occupants in all five crash test categories — the Tacoma double cab along with crew cab versions of the Colorado, Canyon and Tacoma. But the poor headlights and lack of an automatic emergency braking system blocked any of the pickups from qualifying for the IIHS's Top Safety Pick awards. The study looked at two pickup body styles using 2017 models: crew cabs, which have four full doors and two full rows of seating, and extended cabs, which have two full front doors, two smaller rear doors and compact second-row seats. It subjected each to five tests, and it evaluated the performance of front crash prevention systems and headlights. The Toyota Tacoma crew cab was the only pickup in that class that earned a good rating for structure in the small overlap test, which replicates what happens when a vehicle clips a tree, pole or another vehicle that has crossed the center line. The model's Access Cab extended-cab version was rated similarly, though its structure was rated acceptable. "This group of small pickups performed better in the small overlap front test than many of their larger pickup cousins," says David Zuby, the Institute's executive vice president and chief research officer. "The exception was the Nissan Frontier, which hasn't had a structural redesign since the 2005 model year." The extended-cab versions of the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon earned acceptable ratings, while both the Nissan Frontier king-cab and crew-cab models were rated marginal. Toyota says its 2018 Tacoma will feature upgraded headlights and a standard autobraking system that can detect pedestrians. "Headlights are basic but vital safety equipment. Drivers shouldn't have to give up the ability to see the road at night when they choose a small pickup," Zuby said.

Nissan Sentra, Buick LaCrosse to headline LA Auto Show
Wed, Oct 21 2015We're less than a month away from the start of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and automakers have been lining up their debuts for the upcoming left-coast expo. The latest announcement comes from the show's organizers who are eager to tout the global debuts slated for next month. Chief among them will be new versions of the Buick LaCrosse and Nissan Sentra. So far all we've seen of the 2017 LaCrosse is a glimpse at the front grille, but it's already promising to bring elements of the Avenir concept to the street. The original LaCrosse was launched in 2004 and was replaced in 2010 with the current model. The Sentra nameplate has been around much longer, but the current model was launched more recently in 2013. The new version spied recently while undergoing testing is promised to be a substantial update on that model, not a complete replacement, bringing it up to speed with the latest equipment and revised styling. This represents the first official confirmation we've received of when Nissan will be unveiling the new Sentra. Mitsubishi will also be on hand with its new Outlander Sport, as well as the redesigned Mirage. They'll be joined as well by new versions of a couple of high-end models that promise to resonate with the local crowds in tinseltown. Land Rover has chosen the LA show as a suitable venue to unveil the production Range Rover Evoque Convertible that will drop the top on one of the most stylish luxury crossovers on the market. And Porsche, as we know, is gearing up to hit the track with the new Cayman GT4 Clubsport - a customer racing version of the company's little two-seat, mid-engined sports car that's been lightly modified for motorsport competition. Of course these won't be the only new metal on display at the Californian auto expo. They'll be joined as well by the likes of the new Infiniti QX30, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Sportage, and Jaguar F-Pace - many of which we've already seen. Meanwhile companies like Fiat, Ford, Mazda, Mercedes, Subaru, Volvo, Volkswagen, and Elio Motors are keeping their plans under wraps for the time being. But with mere weeks to go, it won't be long before we see what they've got in store as well.
Nissan ZEOD RC on track and from behind the wheel
Wed, 17 Sep 2014The Nissan ZEOD RC hybrid racecar has had mixed success in its competition life. It was invented to do a completely electric, high-speed lap at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which it was able to do in practice. However, when the big event actually came, the car lasted less than an hour before it had to bow out with transmission issues. Nissan hasn't completely given up on its experiment, though. The experience (and possibly some of the tech) is going to help with the GT-R LM racer next year, and now the ZEOD is getting its chance to see how it handles the Top Gear test track.
Unfortunately, it's not The Stig piloting the ZEOD; instead, the magazine's motoring editor Ollie Marriage is the lucky man for the job. The car's sharp shape seems to be a good metaphor for how it handles because it just seems to dart around the track. Its tiny, turbocharged 1.5-liter engine with 400 horsepower and two electric motors put out a claimed 750 horsepower, and that seems like plenty for the relatively short Top Gear course.
As usual of Top Gear, the cinematography here is fantastic, and a second video shows off a single lap of the course from around the car. It's amazing to watch, especially with its big screen constantly showing the camera view out of the rear. Scroll down to see both.
