Need to sell my C33 Laurel asap as im needing the funds for my new car. This is my very first car. Bought as a stocker RB20E. 1989 C33 laurel - RB25DET S2 out of a 96 R33. (ks now unknown but was put in under 100,XXX) - 5Spd manual RB25 Box - ISC coilovers all round - Upgraded R33 front brakes - One piece tail shaft - FMIC - 3" exhaust from dump pipe back - GKtech Dumpipe - Front strut brace - Modplated for engine and transmission conversion. - Blitz S-spec EBC -Turbo timer (not fitted) Bad points: - Car has a dent in the bottom of the LHF door, got hit by a neighbour. - Small rust spot starting to form on the LH C-pillar. - Starter motor is starting to become sticky. - Needs some front tyres, rears are brand new. The car had a boost problem for ages where I couldnt boost past 2-3 psi without hesitation. Found out it was due to a ruptured fuel line from the pump to the pump cradle. Drove fine off boost so it was driven of boost for most of the time until i could figure out the problem. Runs so much better and can now see 10 psi which is what it is set too. Car hasn't been drifted or done burnouts, NO LSD. The 25 is healthy as still no leaks or knocks Contact: Iain - 0422022887 Some vids of the car Idling Quick drive

Hey guys Going to be a long shot but im wanting to buy a C33 laurel club S front lip for the stock front bar. Looks like the pic below. Wiling to pay postage etc. Thanks.

Hey guys, Thought i would post up my C33 Laurel. Bought this back in 2010 in NSW from a place called "Frogs Autos". Guy that owns the place was a champ, he told me that he was selling it for a old Italian couple whose wife didn't need the car anymore as she just putted it around to the shops etc. When i bought the car it was stock, RB20E auto. It had weathershields on it fuse box was a bit dicky and had a slight dent in the drivers side rear door. Other than that though inside was nice and outside really needs a new paint job, which i'll get to some day. Some pics of when i first got it: The guy i bought the car off told me and a mate i was with "Watch out for ticks, leeches and snakes boys". After me telling my mate to not be paranoid about it i bought it home and a few hours later i didnt realise a leech was on the back of my ankle, Looked down blood everywhere! (was wearing long pants so couldn't see). a few hours before i did jump and thought something went on my leg but i got over it and thought it was nothing. So clearly i was wrong lol. Heres a pic for your enjoyment: Unfortunately the weather shields on the car got pulled off from the car, which sucked be because they are rare as hell Some pics once i got it home a few days after. I also used some of those bomb things that spray up in the air that are meant to kill the bugs in rooms etc. Put one in the boot, one inside the car and one in the engine bay. The seatbelts in the car were broken so i ended up finding some online and bought them off a guy but they ended up being the ones they remove when you get the car complied. They are the ones you can remove and buckle them just around your lap if you want instead of around your shoulder. I ended up using them anyway lol. Did a service on the RB20E and the oil filter had all white stuff inside it which didn't look good and the fuel filter wasn't much better. Brakes were quite rusted too. Removed the tape: After that i had to fix some of the Window regs that died. So thanks to Japanese Parts and Performance i got some new ones and all was good again. Had plans to sell it and had it up for sale for a coupe of weeks then decided not to. Tired some new wheels: Bit of a interior upgrade and bought a Nardi wheel Bought a body kit from JDM Garage: The side skirts didn't come with it though so i thought id find some to match later down the track as this "Grace" body kit seems to be quite rare. I put some suspension in from a 180sx i had at the time. The springs were only slightly cut lower when they were on the 180 so i didn't expect it was going to be this low lol. I ended up buying some R33 5 stud gear and was going to then buy these wheels. But then found out they were buckled and had to be fixed so i didnt buy them Would of looked good though. I tried some 16x10 0 offset steel rims that a mate had: Decided against it for daily duties as it had a bit too much poke for me. Got defected for too low a few months later but cop was nice and didn't get me for the steering wheel. I bought some new lights for the rear as they are cracked and the center bit has the "Laurel" letters missing. Just kept it on the stock wheels and didn't use my 5 stud i got. Even bought a RB25DET for it but ended up selling it. Stayed as it did for a while till i found a RB20DET and gearbox for cheap. Came with GTR injectors minus the resistor pack, Link G1 ECU, Clutch, adjustable cam gears, eBay highmount and some random turbo. Finally got around to installing the R33 5 stud and threw the engine and other bits in: I didn't end up using the highmount and unknown turbo (it didn't have a brand). So i bought a stock manifold and bought a HKS 2510 turbo. Found a resistor pack for a GTR as a friends house mate didn't have the injectors but had the resistor pack so that was lucky. I bought a R34 Side Mount intercooler and installed the cam gears. next to my old 180sx: Sold that 180 but kept the wheels for the Laurel, Once all the engine bits were done i got some coilovers and went to get a exhaust and metal intake pipe made up thanks to All Performance garage. Some more pics: Kept it untuned for a while as money was tight so a few months later got it tuned: Finally got it tuned with E85 but the GTR injectors ended up maxing out at 210 kw at about 17 PSI. Cam gears were suspected to be adjusted a little on install. Didn't bother adjusting them as injectors were maxed out anyway so after i get bigger injectors ill go more boost and adjust the cam gears. Also the ECU has boost control so i might use that instead of a T piece. Big thanks to Ben M1 Tuning (If you need a tune on the Gold Coast or Bris here is his facebook http://www.facebook.com/ben.phillips.7311?fref=ts) for tuning the car, very happy with how it turned out and how it drives. Right after the tune was finished (as in just about to drive it off the dyno) the map sensor died. So called someone who luckily had a Link G1 map sensor and borrowed it for a while till mine was fixed. Ben who tuned the car went home with my map sensor and took it apart and found out the problem: So mods are as it stands: RB20DET with RB20DET gearbox 4.3 ratio diff Cam Gears HKS 2510 eBay Boost T R34 Side Mount Intercooler GTR injectors GTR rear swaybar (stock up front) R33 5 stud all round Solid rear cradle bushes Link G1 ECU Walbro fuel pump 3" exhaust with 3.5" Diff back stock coilpacks Solid steering spacer Copy Nardi wheel Work VSKF 17 x 8 (front) and 17 x 9 (rear) Might be some other things but thats all i can think of for now.

Hey All, Thought I would keep track of my build and take advantage of some of the internets wisdom. The base car, Factory manual rb20e laurel in all its boaty glory First purchase was the iconic hood emblem followed by some more appropriate wheels, 15x6.5 weds albinos Now to where im at now, Decided the 20e just wasnt providing the punch the car deserved, so in comes a gtst 20det. Also managed to pick up some s13 suspension to solve boaty issue, Cusco adjusties all round seem to have solved the ride height. Now heres where i ask for your help, Realisticly can i expect the factory 20det turbo to function without the watercooling installed? Plan is to not run it for long but i would hope for more than a few hours of life.
