I would consider swapping the front end from my white cefiro...........but are they the same paint code? from memory the laurels don't have the coloured pearls in the factory paint whereas the cefiros do.

You would need to do paint so they matched properly.

Riverside, the laurel has a pearl through it. I only got the car home thursday night and since then i've fitted a front mount and installed piping, today is my chance to pull it out of the garage and give it a wash and a polish. I'll take a snip of it and see if the pearl comes out on the digital camera.

Inark :theres actually quite a few around... id say it cant be that hard to cconvert them over.... but who wants a laurel front on a ceffy?? why trade down?

Grrrr, trade down??? How do you figure that. Once the car is tidied up i'll take a few snips and you tell me if you really think its a trade down!!! :fart:

a cefiro is definatly a step down from a laurel in the nissan range... id think the pillarless design would be heaps more expensive to design (not saying its stronger or anything) and that would be reflected in its new car price. does anyone know what cefiros and laurels were worth new???

theres a UK site which i cant remember off the top of my head which had the prices of both as new from japan so was in yen...

i dont like laurels... i didnt know they were piller-less... i that was juyst the CIMA.

regardless... the laurel just doesnt appeal to me as much.

definately a trade down in looks to me...

i must stress that this is my opinion and is in no way biased because i have one.... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight lol but seriously... i seen laurels and cefiros before i ended up with a ceffy and the ceffy just appealed to me far more... and yes ive seen plenty of modified ones on many import sites (no not jspec or prestige.... actual japanese workshop and yards etc)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
