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

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
