Hey all,

I recently got my hands on a 1989 C33 Nissan Laurel. I want to get the car converted to manual and so far pics of these jobs ive seen done are like dodgy. Due to the foot activated parking brake rather than a conventional hand brake they remove the whole system and then cut the plastic where the handbake would go and leave it likt it is and cut away a section of the automatic transmission cover it looks takky.

Anyway getting more to th topic...I recently saw a few interior pictures of an A31 cefiro and to my amazement they are almost identical. I just want to know if anyone knows what interoir parts from the ceffie fit in the laurel....being based on the same chassis you'd think they would be build pretty much the same. If people could d deffinite compatabilities to this opic that would be great.

Im pretty sure that the centre din slot cover and transmission covers ar the same on both models.

laurel dash fits into a cefiro and vice versa, centre console can be fitted but needs a lil adjustment. Going from the cef to the laurel dash you'll lose a couple of switch slots, but gain a much nicer contoured dash. Don't see any point in goin from a laurel interior to a cef one as the cef's pretty pox.

I have a laurel dash and center console sitting in my garage in Syd, one day I'll take it al out and swap it over. The door panels all line up perfectly too according to the measurements I've done.

So their interior mounting points are the same. Thats kool I know that they are based on the same chasis and all but yeh i was just wondering coz when i get the car converted i wanna try and get my hands on the factory standard trans cover for a manual. and being the same interior i can just try looking for a cefiro one coz laurels are hell rare in adelaide. (I havent seen any so to me they are rare):D

r32 manual center glove box consoles fit. the only issue is the surround for the gear leaver. the auto one can be modded though,looks much cleaner than a chopped auto one

its also a a bit of a head ache to get the handbrake working but is doable we used and r32 hand brake.

if you are really keen I reckon you could order one through nissan aust shipping only take around 2 weeks for most parts if they aren't in stock

that was on a cefiro conversion.

meggala.

If I remember I'll take a pic

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
