1996 NISMO Skyline GTR LM
Nismo developed the Skyline GTR for endurance racing with a pair of JGTC specification R33s for the 24
Hours of Le Mans in 1995. In 1996 the Skyline GTR LMs would return, this time they had enlarged RB26DETTs displacing 2.8 litres, lifting power to an impressive 600 bhp.
NISMO had full freedom as long as they built at least one similar road car. The end result was the R33 GT-R LM, which looked similar to the production cars, but heavily modified. One big difference was the switch to rear wheel drive, abandoning the high-tech adaptive four wheel drive system of the road car. Nissan chose to abandon their production-based Skyline GTR LMs in 1997.
