RBC33

If there's any cool/rare stuff on the laurel shells I'd be interested.

Bit of an update, it's Pretty much ready to be sent off for wiring now. Brake master/booster and lines all back in ( f**k I hated life getting those nuts back on) lines hooked up, clutch master back in lines ran, nismo braided clutch line in, nismo gearbox mount in, radiator hoses cut to suit and put on, and got some scrap polished staino for an intake pipe, 2.25" no afm if this bitch doesn't dose hard I'll cry haha. Now just gotta get my nismo low temp thermostat in, hook up my fuel lines, put my painted rocker an cam covers on and should be ready to roll once I get my rims back from work. Painter blasted and primed them, just have to paint them when he has the time, all for a carton of powers gold (eww). And random bay snap

That fitment scares me, as I have 9 +22's for my laurel and I want run them daily -__-

I need c33 but yeah from where I called they were still 200 cheaper at least Shame about shipping, they would have looked nice instead of the interior I have now

i need a windscreen but wont be importing one... i got quoted 550 from obriens, but better than 770 from racq So realistically these would cost an arm and a leg and maybe a kidney to get here?

damn thats a shame to hear toffy, i think this is the first thing for my laurel my missus has seen and gone "only $450, that looks hot, you should totally buy them" shes finally learning

Holy crap that would look so pimp haha. Can't imagine how much shipping would be thiugh

Can the tacho be rewired to suit? It's going to an auto elec to get microtec and body loom wired and double checked so I might just ask him if he can do it.

Quick question, i know in s13's that had ca's/sr's stock in them, if you do an rb swap they will not read rpm? is this the same for c33's? Mine was originally a ca18i taxi ftmfw. if i need one i'm guessing i'm looking for a cluster that come out of an rb bodied c33 yes?

Is it a through dash type? Do the front legs bend back towards the b pillar the go around the dash then back towards the firewall. If not you have through dash type.

^^ You can machine the thread off to continue winding it in, think about it, there's only so much room in that bottom part where the thread goes in before it'll bottom out, machine some off and enjoy the extra winding in you have for more lows

X2 that boot spoiler looks hot!

Have you got spacers on the gtr wheels. I think 33gtr rims are porn on laurels/ceffys

i'll take both nissan keys. pm sent

Lol idk about you man but I think that ceff looks hot on the meisters.

Just from fitting my wheels I've bought fur my laurel which are 9 +22, on the front I think you'll be fine, maybe a guardroll if your really cautious. As for the rears can't see a problem with guard clearance, but maybe inner clearance.

In my opinion, whoever mentioned the mx5 is on the right track. Little power, great handling is so much more rewarding to drive on your p's. I personally had an EG civic, (still have it) on my p's and I got off them a year ago hence buying a turbo car now. I did a b16b vtec motor swap, type r sway bars and brakes, updated pads and coilovers and tbh it's the best thing I could have done other than bought a shitbox and saved my money for a car when I was off my p's. It's now stripped out with a fixed back, but it beats most n/a 6 cyl in a straight line, handles fantastic and flies under the reader with cops. Yes it's nice to have people stare and go wow that's cool for a p plater ( I got it when I put my 15x9.5 equip 01s on it) but that's when the police started hassling me. As long as you have a p plate on your car you'll be a target as soon as your car looks modified. I've since raised my car to legal height with shitty offset rims, never gets looked at twice and still goes hard. IMO if your gonna build a car as a p player don't buy an n/a skyline or Silvia as cops nowadays seem to have it drilled into their head that your a hoon if you drive one Just my 2c

Let me know how much power you make on it, I'd be I retested in upgrading my td05 one day cause I'll get power hungry. How much power are you hoping for?

Thanks man. Yeah it's definitely a td05, so yeah 18g most likely. Hope it makes decent power and comes on boost hard, I want something that isn't too violent when it comes on boost but I still want that kick more than a nice smooth v8 sort of power As for windscreen, I'm gonna get reamed for it. I think the cheapest was Obrian glass at 580 fitted, racq was like 780 "with my customer discou t" gee thanks haha.

Thanks man Was never meant to be such a long project but I'm glad I did respray that bay from that horrid red. Bays midnight purple even though the photos can't quite capture all the fleck through it. Looks 100x better in rel life. As for the turbo, its a td05, not quite sure on the trim but pretty sure it's a 20g. Guy before me made 200kw pretty easy, I'm aiming for 200kw on a low boost and then maybe a high boost a few psi more and hopefully get 220-230kw. It's my first rwd and first turbo car so I dont want to go to silly to start with on power, and I plan on drifting it so nice responsive power should help me learn as opposed to a bigger laggy turbo.

Nah I've gone 5 stud now on the laurel hence the tri spokes Civics are 4x100 but 96 Integra type r's come out 4x114.3 with 262mm brakes, before they went 98-01 went 5x114.3. And I probably won't notice the difference in the steering spacer I haven't driven the laurel yet, previous owner said drop motor in and hook it up and it'll be fine, wiring loom was absolutely fooked, so had to pull it all apart again then decided to respray bay, go bigger turbo ect lol

Hey guys. Only have this build up on a small qld based forum, but i think this will be much more appreciated here, and seem to be able to get help alot easier So i'll just start from the start and just copy, paste all my previous posts over, so bear with the epic first post Names daniel, recently off my p plates, so decided to get something boosted and rwd. Had a EG civic and was going to k swap it but decided i'd get something 4 door and finish the civic off properly and start again on it someday, maybe never if i like nissan too much haha. Bought it off a guy on SD, thought it was going to be pretty straight forward as the wiring for the microtec had been done by TOP RPM on the coast. Wasnt so as a member off superglory found when he came to help with my gearbox wiring, the body loom has been molested and needs some time spent on it Motor was out of the car when i got it and with no gearbox as he sold it for his sr box in his 180. Hopefully get it on the road soon, still needs alot done, but i'll get there one day soon. It started life as a genuine jap cab, plated as having a ca18i in it. parts list below Car: 89' C33 Laurel Engine Bay: s1 Rb25det Rb25det gearbox Microtec lt12s Turbo back exhaust w/ cat and twin kick up muffler ASI performace r33 alloy rad w/ twin thermos PWR intercooler, meant for evo but was 1 tube too high, snagged it cheap when i worked for pwr a few years back Suspension: Tein HR Coilovers My Mods: Work equip 01's (were meant for the civic) 15 x 9.5 +42 and 15 x 8.5 +52, need to order 30mm bolt ons to clear the 8.5s :\ Kazama rear camber arms KTS rear toe arms Roof wing (thanks to erin at jdm garage for the arms and whipping out a roof wing when i asked about one and making me buy it -___- More to come... As for how its going the list of things i need to do is extensive but i'd rather put it here cause it makes me feeel like i achieved something if i write it down Motor and gearbox in Dash trim back together Radiator hoses Engine loom connected Install 5 stud, camber/toe arms Find some s13 brake lines that run from booster along firewall to replace dodgy job old owner did Navara speedo body mod Mount intercooler Intercooler piping made up 2x 90deg bends for piping to be fully done intake arm, and pod filter, and mounted bracket for legalness Reo back in Front bar cut to fit and installed Mount Radiator Rad hoses on INstall brake booster and master Brake lines Install Clutch master, hard line and braided line Throttle cable in Speedo sender in tailshaft in pop rivet Ally/checker plate where piping comes through bay, new neater holes Get custom handbrake lines made Install Gearstick boot/seal Entire Rewire Tune Replace windscreen (cracked when i bought it), remove rust where windscreen meets roof rego Pictures to come Of empty bay and bay with motor in And 9.5's on...needs less camber Also a pic of the new parts So finally got somewhere with this thing. Motor was already out from my place, De-greased and pressure washed the bay Then scotch brited it to get it nice and rough so the paint would stick got the front end up on stands, removed the subframe and sprayed it black, didn't come out nice and glossy so wet and dried it back to prep for the final colour The paint in question The end result. Not bad for a backyard job Sexy matching Rocker and cam covers New turbo setup some of you may recognize this gators gonna gate Motor and box back in, turbo setup bolted in place. Thats all the photos i have but the suspension is back in, front triangle bits in, castor rods back on. Just gonna work at it an hour or so after work every day, get brake booster, clutch master throttle cable in, then mate my catback to the dump pipe, tailshaft in and get this baby off to be wired!! And a shot of all the rigs. We're trying to corner the market of nissan 4 doors Little update again slowly getting there, picked up a cheap padded nardi with bosskit through streeter. Got my silicone bends to finish the piping, now all i need is to make a stainless intake. and a shot of the front, with intercooler Little update, fitted my steering spacer. Had so much play in it, new one fitted there's no play whatsoever compared to a good 10mm of movement Pic of offending bush Also picked me up some rims So basically I low ball this guy 300 for a set of 4 of these. He says no, 400 with some spare unfitted tyres. Nekminut txts me again 350 with spare tyres. Rock up to his house after work, I see he's running spacers, ask about them, he says I can have them. Then tells me he has another pair of them I can have for 200 extra. I say no. Nekminut he brings the white ones out (the "spares" dumps them on the other 4 and says 100 extra. So for 450 I get 2x 17x9 +22 and 4x 17x9 +42, 20mm bolt ons, and 2 matching pairs of spare tyres. And all the +42's all came with near new tread. Now to fit the good spares to the +22s after I refurb them silver. Plan is to run the +22's on the front as steers, and run the 20mm bolt ons on the rear and have 2 pairs of +42's for rear duties Put a +22 on the front this arvo quickly. Dunno what colour to do them, kicking myself I didn't put a white one up to see if white would look good. Any opinions on colors? I was thinking silver And thats about where it sits now Gotta get my dump and catback on, brake booster, clutch master, throttle cable, tailshaft all back in. Then to do the little things like washer bottle and overflow, steering wheel back on, and get a set of r33 handbrake cables. Then off to get rewired, just gonna get the whole car looked over so all my accessories and the such work as it will be daily driven (hopefully if it doesnt draw too much attention) and drifted.I cant wait to finally drive it

Do you still have handbrake cables? If so how much

your a legend and handbrakes already mounted, dunno whether it was a factory hand or if it was originally footbrake? either way i'll pick up some 33 ones. i'll have to start a thread for my car. Sorry again for going off topic, and thanks for the quick answers

Cefiro and laurel are same in that sense yes? and r33 2 door or 4 door? i dont know if they are any different but dont wanna go buying for no reason
