Hi guys,

I have a Nissan Laurel C35 in NZ and I'm re-locating back to Victoria.

I am eligible under the personal import scheme to bring it with me, and have been told this make and model is not prohibited.

Just wondering if any one has some ideas as to how much it would re sell for over there (trying to work out if it's worth my while!)

Cheers,

Kimmy.

Hard to know how much it would sell for over here because we can't import them hence no one owns them, therefore none are sold, so we don't have any examples to compare against.

Closest thing I could suggest would be comparing it to something like a JZX100 or something similar 1jz powered toyota sedan.

I know I'd be keen to buy it if you did bring it over.

dont bring it over :happy:

it'll devalue my race/rally c35 lol

with minor mods and assuming its the rb25det manual

I'd say around 17k its what I'll be after for mine when I'm lookin to sell it

blacktop sr hks 2835 expecting around 250rwkw though so it even's out

hell I'd be keen to take it off your hands once it gets here

Is yours road legal?

Its a 2000, 2.5 NEO with tiptronic and steering wheel shifts.

This will be road legal, so I guess that means it will be worth a bit more??

I just wanted a rough idea on what someone would be willing to pay for it. :blink:

Thanks for the replies guys.

Well maybe you should go post that gem of information in the News section, because this thread is clearly about importing a C35 laurel which are not eligible for import under normal circumstances.

Back on topic, I don't think the auto box would make too much difference to it's potential value, considering it could possibly be the only road registered C35 in australia, and it's not like there wouldn't be parts available to do a manual conversion. How much is it going to cost you to bring it over?

yeh i know its not a c35 but its still a laurel we do have them in aus clearly

Dropped on your head lately? Lol...

I rekon it would be worth bringing over for sure, assuming its rb25det. Nice car, would have bought one instead of the aristo if they were available in aus

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
