well this weekend made the start on the laurel took it for its last drive for while as i start fixing things up getting ready to go over the pits for rego things to do: fix exhaust manifold leak fit new steering rack boots fits lights,horn try to find out whats going on with the power steering need to check over the car and check the cams and make sure it has actually got the poncams in it and find out whats going on with the computer and what it is as i looked and looks like a stock r33 but as he said had a ems but was told the ems may of been cut in to the loom like a chip so hoping i didnt get shafted on that but still got it for a good price and cant complain about that will put more pictures up later once i slip rocket covers off get some pictures of the cams and try to find some numbers on them and try and find out what they are...

cut down loom is the way to go my mate is doing the same with his atm hole rewire and it aint costing him much if its rb20 will be same as r32 he is getting a auto elec to do it after hours may be the way to go for you get the loom run up in the engine bay not like stock where it is run under the left front gaurd just do bit by bit

hey guys just brought a new car so my r32 is up for sale heres the gumtree link inbox me for anymore questions http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/launceston-7250/cars-vans-utes/1989-nissan-skyline-coupe/1013230945

suck a common thing with these cars as they are getting older biggest thing fix it early before it ruins your car think toffy will agree with me!

yeah mate from launceston yeah well i put the new apron on the front and he wanted to take the front tubs out so just got to welb some more supports on the front to help with that its looking alot better tho so zachs done it in the same area?? his seems to be good for no rust little bit has started in the back window but will fix it before it gets worse.. i could imagine the windows would be hard to find like most things haha im a little worried about finding a crossmember for the gearbox and tail tailsharft to fit

Oh ok did say on the vin plate was rb20det so maybe it's been added on yeah I was concerned about the rust I had seen photos of it but as I'm a panel beater I wasent to worried its not very big but has got a hole in it ill be cutting it out at some stage and putting a new section in and respray the hole engine bay but that is really the worst of it so I am happy if I'm right your the guy that Zach brought his laurel off the black one?? Well hoping to cut the little bit out of his shell to put in after I cut the front right out of it to repair the damage from his crash it ain't good for anything else been a good doner car lucky to have it!

ohh really ok i see now funky little jap idea but yeah im surprised how clean it is myself just like its sat around in a shed for years and hasn't been touched bit of a barn find really... do you know what CLUB L is there badges on both guards looks factory but cant find anything on it think its a special model??

yeah man its super neat i took a chance on it with out ever seeing it but has payed off big time so happy with it can tell it had been sitting around for ages in a shed gave it a good wash and clean inside and out come up awesome few little things gas struts have shit it manifold leak will be first on my list to fix went through some stuff that come with it there was brand new gauges turbo timers bov still in box never open downer the bit to get the wheel nuts off was not in the car and messaged the guy said he thought it was in the car so gonna have to get the wheels taken off some how some greddy injector thing come with the car in a box never seen one before and looks old! no idea what it is ill put a picture up to see if anyone can tell me what it is and in the front bumper there is like some light thing there then in the cab there is a switch looks factory i press it and it comes up like a arial and has a flashing light on top hahaha real strange looking but owner said there there from factory so who knows

yeah mate sounds good im a panel beater so any things you need to know just ask

looking so good mate be awesome when its running respray coming as well?

really thats a sore i can relax on the manual interior parts now and just have to sort tail shaft and crossmember out ive read that crossmember 'B' is the one to use and have checked my mates crossmember on his factory manual c33 and it is a B but will it fix with the 25 box thats the question fingers crossed as we both are about to take on the same things

ive had a search found heaps on ceffys but laurels and c33 are a dark area and every one says diffrent things..

alright cheers guys for the help anyone got any idea on what tail shaft to use as its a 25 box??

hey mate do you still have the clutch and break pedals .. as im doing a conversion

alright so wonder if this affects the shifting gears once its manual guess can always cut the hole larger if need be... im guessing the rb20 box would not be the same size as the rb25 has any one out there put a 25 box in a auto laurel and what x member was used?

yeah its hard to tell i dont really wanna spend $300 on a x member guess im gonna have to do a bit more digging by the way as you seem to be in the know ceffy manual hand break cable fit lc33 laurel?? yes/no?

yeah im trying to look for the same answers but im putting in a 25 box in mine if im reading this right seems i would be ably to use the cross member from my auto box and use it on my manual one with no modding ??

im about to take on all this conversion with my laurel haha gonna be turning to all you guys for help one day soon haha question what crossmember fits a rb25 gearbox as my laurel has a 25 in it ?
