1993 Nissan Laurel - Rb20det, 5sp, Coilovers

[decoyslikecurves]

Hey all, time may have come to move into a new car - I built this laurel from a non turbo stocker. I put in the rb20det, manual box, clutch box, tailshaft etc etc. The conversion was done extremely well, and the rb20det was compression tested before it was put in. It registered 160+ on all cylinders.

The car is very tight - I know because it's been my 2nd laurel. The underbody is very very clean with minimal dents in the rails, indicating it hasn't had a hard life previously. The doors all close nicely. The interior is quite nice for a car this cheap. Dash is very very clean and everything works.

The paint is the major downfall of the car at the moment - It's basically pretty average. On the bonnet there is paint flaking and on the boot the paint has faded and the clear coat is coming off. Aside from that, the body only has a few miner shopping trolley dings which are negligible. Overall cosmetic appearance is pretty piggish - sure as hell isn't going to win any autosalon awards.

Specs:

Motor/drivetrain

*1993 model with the late tail lights

*rb20det from r32 front cut - high compression and ran on motul full synthetic 5w-40 oil since I've had it. Starts perfectly every time, doesn't use a drop of oil. I've changed the oil every 3000kms since putting the motor in. Dyno'd when tuned a few months ago in the mid 150kw at the wheels, on stock boost, with stock intercooler. This indicates the motor is very fresh.

*5sp manual transmission from r32 - very very tight - possibly the nicest one I've ever felt.

*heavy clutch - unsure of what kind

*LSD - standard type although decent enough for sports driving/drifting

*Nismo white round plastic gear knob

*Speedo reads around 80,000kms

*apexi pod filter bought new

*stock intercooler, stock boost

*custom mandrel bent 3 inch exhaust done by expensive exhaust shop running twin 2.5 angled tips at the end - quiet but sounds awesome.

Suspension/footwork

*Brand new k-sport coilovers - 36 way adjustable and height/stroke adjustable as well. In comparison to cusco coilovers in a friends 180sx, the Ksports hold their own very well. They're stiff but well damped and the car handles pretty amazing for such a basic setup. Not by any means uncomfortable or "floaty"

*Ksport camber tops

*Work 16x8 mesh front rims with cheapo low profiles,

*standard s13 rear rims with worn bridgestone gIIIs

Other

Brand new JVC mp3 head unit installed just a few weeks ago

Will include another 2 stock s13 rims - great drift rims

Only pic I have at the moment sorry: I'll add more later.

Basically the car is an excellent base. If you wanted to pretty it up, all it would need would be paint and another pair of mesh 16s for the rear. As it sits, it's very capable for drifting or fast driving. The conversion was very very clean and the motor looks as if it was there from factory. There are still a few little things to do, which would be the wiring for the windscreen wipers, and to connect the AC. The motor and gearbox in particular are extremely strong - for a stocker the motor is very very fast.

Car will be sold with any remaining rego (expires 02/02) and without RWC - buyer can organize one if need be to transfer the rego. I don't have time and I can't be assed dealing with mechanics - which is the reason why I'm going to a brand new car. I'm willing to drive the laurel to anyone in QLD and drop it off there.

I'm located on the sunshine coast, 40 mins north from Brisbane.

$8000-ono
