I dono why'd you give up the a31 front end though... maybe for a 180 front..

There was a s14 fronted cef posted up in this section some time ago now and I think most people didn't like it. I reckon it could be ok but if anyone finds photos please post front and back and side if possible.. It's pointless seeing a s15 fronted cef when it just looks like a s15 from the front :)

hahaha that laufiro is about as NZ as they come, matt black paint, workshopX frontbar

call me the biggest playahater ever but the front fender doesn't link up to the rest of the panel work properly ie: the "a" pillar

not usually a big concern but this could cause rust if not sealed properly when rain leaks through those cracks, laurel and cefiro fenders are notorious for rust apparatnly

you mean like an N13 pulsar front bolted onto a brandnew nissan pathfinder?

or or what about an 80's CA nissan EXA bolted onto a le man's nissan R390 race car?

the possiblities are endless... simply endless...

They all sound good to me, but why not swap it around, bolt a Pathfinder front to a N13 pulsar? :)

Anything R34 is pretty horn IMHO, I want a R34 kit for my R32 like this one at Garage-13:

Click for full-size

But since it's "from $4490" kinda hard to justify on a car not worth much more than double that, factor in re-spray and i think it'd only be worth it on a R32 GTR.

But i can dream. *sigh*

roflmao garage-13's R324

its made by Bee-R and I think that's garage-13's pipedream for suckering someone into buying the original so they can copy it.

and the R34 on R33 unit they sell is a URAS one.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
