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 |

Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi adopts Android infotainment in coup for Google
Tue, Sep 18 2018PARIS — The Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi carmaking alliance said on Tuesday it will adopt Alphabet's Google Android operating system, handing a victory to the U.S. tech giant as it pushes for a bigger share of the infotainment market. Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi, with combined sales of 10.6 million vehicles last year, said future models will "integrate Google applications and services" including Maps and the voice-commanded Google Assistant. The move, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, leans more heavily on Big Tech than large or luxury rival carmakers have hitherto been willing to do. Many fear losing control of customer relationships, data and potentially significant future revenue from connected services. Some smaller manufacturers such as Volvo Cars have decided to embed Android Auto in their vehicles. But the scale of the shift by Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi may cause a broader rethink of costly standalone tech strategies. "Major carmakers earlier were reluctant to do business with Google, but this has now changed," said Jauke de Jong, a research analyst at AFS Group in Amsterdam. "More carmakers could follow suit and partner with Google." Until now, carmakers have largely chosen Linux, Microsoft or QNX software to power infotainment. That yields clunkier platforms they can control, but which offer little scope to add new apps or functionality. Far more than just hooking up a phone The news may spell trouble for certain existing auto-tech suppliers such as mapping specialist TomTom, which counts Renault among its customers. Shares in the Dutch group fell by more than quarter after the announcement. In return for handing Google the infotainment keys, the alliance will bring the full clout of Android's thousands of apps to its brands' lineups — which include a strong contingent of affordably priced, no-frills models for emerging markets. The partnership promises "rich user experiences that are currently available only outside the vehicle or, to a limited extent, by connecting an Android device to supported vehicles," alliance development chief Hadi Zablit said. While many volume carmakers offer infotainment "mirroring" to pair with Apple iPhones or Android smartphones, premium rivals such as BMW and Daimler's Mercedes-Benz are investing heavily in their own operating systems, vocal assistants and connected services.
Nissan axing Pathfinder Hybrid from 2016 lineup
Thu, Jul 2 2015The Nissan lineup gets a little smaller for the 2016 model year, as the Pathfinder Hybrid is dropped from the range. With its debut in late 2013, the electrically assisted SUV is one of the company's more recent introductions. However, it never really caught on with the public. "The Pathfinder Hybrid is not available in the US for the 2016 model year. Our emphasis is on the 3.5-liter V6 Pathfinder that achieves a best-in-class 20-city and 27-highway fuel economy," Nissan North America product communications director Dan Bedore confirmed to Autoblog. "Nissan has no announcement on future hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain applications at this time." Nissan actually ended production of the Pathfinder Hybrid in January, and "the hybrid was never a big part of Pathfinder sales," Bedore said to Automotive News. For the price premium, the electrically assisted version that combined a supercharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder and a 20-horsepower electric motor was only rated three or four miles per gallon better in EPA combined ratings than with the V6. However, while the company doesn't outline individual sales of the two, powertrain variants, the SUV is performing well so far this year. Through June 2015, sales are up 4.9 percent with 41,938 units sold. The future for the Infiniti QX60 Hybrid, which is the Pathfinder's more luxurious sibling, doesn't look very bright either. "For the United States, while the QX60 Hybrid continues to be available at some retailers across the country, our production is currently focused on the QX60 3.5 model," Infiniti spokesperson Kyle Bazemore told Autoblog. However, the vehicle is still in production at the Smyrna, TN, factory for export to places like China and Mexico. According to Bazemore if demand happens to increase in the US, "we have the manufacturing ability to make them available." Overall, QX60 sales are also up 14 percent this year in the US.
2013 Nissan Pathfinder: January 2013
Wed, 23 Jan 2013We've now had our long-term 2013 Nissan Pathfinder for about a month, and some impressions are starting to solidify, while others remain contentious among the team. Most notable among those contentious items is our Pathfinder's paint color, which was chosen by vote among the Autoblog team.
Dubbed Mocha Stone, it beat out Cayenne Red by a single vote. I was a Mocha Stone supporter and like it even more in person than on Nissan's configurator. It's a mature choice that can be comfortably placed in the grouping of silver, white and gray tones buyers routinely choose most often over all the colors of the rainbow offered on cars these days for the sake of attention. Staunch opponents of Mocha Stone on the team remain unswayed. Democracy is a difficult process, people.
