Introducing the Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R Le Mans Edition — a rare and highly celebrated special model.

NISMO produced several limited-run variants of the BCNR33, and the first of them was the LM Edition, launched in May 1996 to honour Nissan’s entry into the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Just 188 units were released exclusively for the Japanese market, making this one of the most desirable and collectable R33 GT-Rs ever built.

Based on the R33 GT-R, the LM Limited isn’t to be confused with the R33 GT-R LM. It should be; the names are almost identical. Anyway. The LM (not limited) was a one-off built for homologation so Nissan could go racing in the GT1 class at Le Mans.

Only 188 examples of the LM Limited were produced from May 1996. Eighty six of these wore the standard GT-R badge and the remaining 102 were built on V-Spec models.

The only body colour available for the R33 LM was Champion Blue (BT2).

The car had a hood-splitter lip to direct air to the upper front aperture, the "GT-R Skyline" logo under the chequered flag was placed on the C-pillars, carbon rear spoiler blade amongst other additions.

Nissan entered two R33 GT-R cars in the 1995 Le Mans 24 hour race where the number 22 car finished tenth overall. This was remarkable considering it was essentially running the same RB26 motor and going up against supercars of that era like the mighty Mclaren F1 GTR.

Limited Edition Factory fitted extras on this model:

Championship Blue (code BT2).

N1 Front Brake Cooling Ducts.

N1 Front bumper vents

N1 Bonnet Lip.

Commemorative GT-R Decals on C-Pillars
