Well the car finally arrived in my driveway Thursday night after spending its first couple of weeks in oz in the importers back yard. It was absolutely filthy but i had a good lookin Trust intercooler sitting there that had to be thrown on ASAP!

So went out to the shops, got myself some straight 2 1/2" piping, 2 x 45 degree bends and 1 90 degree bend and i also had an assortment of stock pipes. $78. Then got some hose clamps from Repco (8) for about $23, some rubber joiners from the local import yard and some heat resistant spray $15 plus $11.

The piping still needs a bit of tidying up as the pipe which connects to the inlet side of the cooler isn't fitting properly and needs to be trimmed back a bit.

Pics basically spell out the rest. The laurel is white with a blue pearl. It looked a million bucks once i washed and polished it.

cooler looks good Mase, How come it took so long for you to get the car in your driveway?

I still owed a few dollars on the car and although john from import bitz said i could take it home whenever, i didn't want to take it until i'd paid every cent.

Summoner, the car was bought to my house on a tow truck and it has been in the garage getting work done to it ever since. Unfortunately i am still up for compliance and rego before i can go cruising in it. So it probably wasn't me chief.

However, i will be going out to the skid pan on the 14th of November either on Tow truck or some way for a bit of fun!!

Adrian, yeah i was meaning to ask you what was happening with yours?? Is the rb25 in it yet? I drove past the other day and pointed the laurel out to my bro and he was shocked cuz it was the only other one he'd seen apart from mine.

The car as it stands now has

malpassi fuel reg

bosch 040

fmic

3" stainless exhaust with a very dented cannon many thanks to the tow truck

front and rear strut braces

Tein HR's

cusco 2 way lsd

quickshifter

aluminium diff cradle bushes

aftermarket clutch and fly

few niggly things like nardi wheel, handbrake etc

The seat looks like stockish looking trim, but holds onto you real tight so im not sure what the deal is.

ETA for the road, about 2 months unfortunately as im poor now!!!

cheers

Jays

yeah the 25det is in now, only picked it up on sat morning, just putting a few kays on it with a trade plate to make sure the engine is okay (so far so good, seems to be a goodie) gotta save some money up for a cooler and piping, mod plate (thank goodnes its complied) and then shes ready to register!

ahh nice!!! Wanna lend me that trade plate!!!! hehe. I need to get to skid pan on the 14th but im trying to avoid spending $150 in tow truck fees for a $100 dollar skid pan.Gonna see what qld transport can do for me.......

The rb25 will be tuff when finished. I think i need to get a decent sized turbo on mine as she's a bit heavy!!!

lookin great chief, you know what im gonna say though...... Lower the damn thing!!!

I'm sure you have plans for it though.

I found the Tein suspension sat lower in the laurel compared to in the s13. Heavier car i guess is the reason.

Got any interior pics??

yeah its getting lowered after reg and a new exhaust its a great car drives well.

the laurel is much more luxurious than the cef. I love the electric seats and the leather is just so pimp :D

hmmmmmmmm leather hmmmmm pillarless

nice trim in there.. almost show trim to start with.. just needs a redo and bling!

The Laurels looks almost like a JZX90 chaser from some angles I reckon.

Not a bad idea importing as many as possible before the end of the 15 year rule... If I only had more capital I'd be doing exactly the same :D

There are a few Cefiro's I see in QLD now.. and a really nice pimped up purple one right near my place..

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
