Hello all, 

I’ve recently bought my first RB car, a C35 Laurel Club S 25t (not a Skyline I know, but it’s basically an R34 sedan imo). Bought the car around a month ago and have never been happier!

The car came with D-Max coilovers and 350z anniversary wheels. I’ve installed a few mods like a dual pipe exhaust, kouki taillights, and clear turn signals.63E3D6C7-7B2C-4130-B309-6F9CE977767D.thumb.jpeg.a4a9e3b8ad56df58a1599a5122e09a7f.jpeg10516527-6DE5-4ADC-A105-1B07F18B00DB.thumb.jpeg.e845065d2a8f391e32aec2ac04b193af.jpeg80A9A990-2322-4429-8461-282EC00FD936.thumb.jpeg.10d3d5e631b46112501c94a7044573c3.jpeg

Lovely car. Exactly what I wanted one badly for years, but they're so rare down here in Aus. Had to settle for Skylines instead :(

Some days I regret not pulling the trigger to import one.

Thanks! The C35 has been my dream car for a long time since they’re uncommon and relatively unknown by most people even in Japan! Which also makes it hard finding parts which sucks but I will get used to

When I was selling my Cefiro this was hot on the list alongside the Mark II. Still regret not buying it. It’s essentially a R34 sedan with luxury styling. Love it.

Great buy and will be looking forward to following what you do with it so I can live vicariously through your adventures. Welcome!

PS: If you’re gonna modify the aero, please don’t put a Uras kit on it… see if you can hunt down the elusive Impul kit for it.

I’d love to own a Cefiro or a Mark II someday! A buddy of mine in high school had a Jzx100 and it was a very nice car; the guy who bought it from him turned it into a drift beater which was kinda sad but expected lol

As for my C35, I will post any new adventures I have with it on here!

And I will not get the Uras kit, it looks a little too 90’s vip for my tastes. I wanted an Impul kit for my car and found one recently on Yahoo Auctions Japan, but it costs nearly $8k USD (almost $11k AUD) which I’d rather use to buy other parts for my car! I’ve been looking at the Kazama Auto kit for my car, and might go that route down the road but we’ll see

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
