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

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
