Bought a laurel

Many thanks to john from import bitz, i've just purchased a Nissan Laurel off him.

Just a run down if u don't know what a laurel is, 4 door sedan, r32 driveline (engine and box), s13 suspension setup. (like the ceffy's). I "think" (ie not sure) that they might be like a luxury version kinda thing

Came with cusco lsd, cat back, front and rear strut braces, gtr fuel pump, rechipped ecu, nardi steering wheel, shift and handbrake stuff etc. The body overall is great but unfortunately the door trims and dash have seen better days, i've sussed it out tho and basically just needs some new material reglued back on as most of it is cloth. However seats, carpet etc are great. Will be transferring a few goodies from my onevia onto it like coilovers, quickshifter and maybe the rb25 turbo. Plans for it are fmic, sound and wheels. Then it's cruise and drift ready. Will be used for those exact things and i'll be selling the onevia once it's painted. The laurel still needs a bit of work due to a few issues and then still needs compliance but im in no rush.

putting these wheels on it most likely

cheers

Nice choice, i was looking at getting one but would have had to wait longer than the cefiro. Not many in australia im sure. I have only seen one and it was auto anyway.

BTW its missing the laurel badge off the bonnet. Should try and get hold of one.

i think panels, badges etc are going to be a issue with this car so im not too worried about it. However we have a bodykit maker that sponsors our car club so im thinking of giving him the front guards to mould and see if he can make some fibreglass widened ones which i can buy just in case i stuff up cuz it's bound to happen if im drifting. Checked underneath today and noticed it has alluminium diff cradle bushes as well. Having an issue though with the fuel, the ecu had a lot of things piggy backed into it like turbo timer and safc etc, they have been removed and i think that a wire or two may be loose and stopping the fuel pump from being activated or the fuel pump is gone.

definately, i've never driven let alone drifted a car this heavy. The s13 was easy to get sideways and keep it, laurel will be interesting. Im just loving the fact that i got a sun roof, room to fit friends in the car and that i can actually fit comfortably and then throw it round the track.

Its good to see that car going to a good home.

There is also a ceffy on the site that would make a good drifter
