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)

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
