Hi,
On a local auction site there are 2 LJ GTR's for sale (Bidding up to $10,000 now) the owner has listed these numbers below. Do they add up to genuine GTR's? What are the trim/paint combo's like?
Both cars have 2 tags each. (The cars sold new in NZ didn't have the 3rd ADR tag that you have in OZ.)
BLUE CAR - Chassis 8D11LDH29910J, Model LJ 82911, Body 29910B, Trim 1868 50X, Paint 567 15335, Spare 202 JL442114.
PURPLE CAR - Chassis 82911JL216328, Model LJ 82911, Body 1078-A, Trim 1842 40Y, Paint 567 13884
Cheers.

l had a look at the auctions after you asked this on the other thread. The engine numbers are definitley GTR, the VIN's look correct but someone else will need to confirm as l dont have any of my books with me. if you got both for 10k you would be

Mondie I dont want to be rude, but please dont tell people that the Vins looks correct when you really have no possible way of knowing.
You dont know if this person is going to hand over money just because you think they look right.
And your books will telll you jack shit, other than its a GTR or XU1 (due to 82911 code). They wont tell you if the numbers line up, they wont tell you if its a modified tag, etc etc etc.
We arent playing with 2K cars anymore, these cars are starting to sell for some serious money, and for some people these amounts are not loose change.
Sorry if you are offended, but there is no other way to say what I feel I needed to say. And this applies to anyone, think before you comment, as your comments suggestions, opinion could end up costing someone.
Yes this could apply to me as well, but at least in my case I do have bona fide General Motors production information, a large Vin V's Chassis number data base and specific production line process differences used on XU1 and other General Motors products.
I do not rely on motoring magazine heresay which contradicts itself and each other, or good old pub rumour and legend. And as for Fiv's book, well dont start me on that one.

Hg350 do your records cover the whole torana range or just the LC Lj?

And Mondie
All 202 powered NON XU1 LJ's after a certain date (that for the life of me I cant remember at the moment) were fitted with JL blocks. So you cant go by just because it has a JL block it must be right theory either.

Wasn't it after Jan 73 the 202 was optional on all LJs?
My parts car (S Four door) has a JL, and I am pretty sure that hg350 has verified the numbers are matching.

Kudu, I've seen those cars on trademe and I think that around 10K for the pair looks like a good buy. I've still got the LC GTR (NZ new) and it does have the ADR tag.
