Hi guys,

I have a Nissan Laurel C35 in NZ and I'm re-locating back to Victoria.

I am eligible under the personal import scheme to bring it with me, and have been told this make and model is not prohibited.

Just wondering if any one has some ideas as to how much it would re sell for over there (trying to work out if it's worth my while!)

Cheers,

Kimmy.

Hard to know how much it would sell for over here because we can't import them hence no one owns them, therefore none are sold, so we don't have any examples to compare against.

Closest thing I could suggest would be comparing it to something like a JZX100 or something similar 1jz powered toyota sedan.

I know I'd be keen to buy it if you did bring it over.

dont bring it over :happy:

it'll devalue my race/rally c35 lol

with minor mods and assuming its the rb25det manual

I'd say around 17k its what I'll be after for mine when I'm lookin to sell it

blacktop sr hks 2835 expecting around 250rwkw though so it even's out

hell I'd be keen to take it off your hands once it gets here

Is yours road legal?

Its a 2000, 2.5 NEO with tiptronic and steering wheel shifts.

This will be road legal, so I guess that means it will be worth a bit more??

I just wanted a rough idea on what someone would be willing to pay for it. :blink:

Thanks for the replies guys.

Well maybe you should go post that gem of information in the News section, because this thread is clearly about importing a C35 laurel which are not eligible for import under normal circumstances.

Back on topic, I don't think the auto box would make too much difference to it's potential value, considering it could possibly be the only road registered C35 in australia, and it's not like there wouldn't be parts available to do a manual conversion. How much is it going to cost you to bring it over?

yeh i know its not a c35 but its still a laurel we do have them in aus clearly

Dropped on your head lately? Lol...

I rekon it would be worth bringing over for sure, assuming its rb25det. Nice car, would have bought one instead of the aristo if they were available in aus

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 5 spd AWD boxes are all like-for like. They might not all be identical (covering >10 yrs of production means that many parts were updated as they went) but they are the same thing. You're not going to be swapping to auto.

      Oh, oops, yeah, I'm getting the cams in the 2.5 replaced, so the above factory 2.0 cam specs don't mean 5hit, but, after alot of googling it seems the factory 2.5 cams don't like to rev So, yeah, there is that 🤣

      Update - new drop of oil noticed. Leak seems to be continuing, but a slow/small one.

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey y'all! So I am the owner of a shiny new '99 ENR34 25GT-Four, 5spd manual. Took it to the tire shop to get new shoes. They mismatched the front and rear axles (225/40s on rear, 225/45s on front), so AWD system went bonkers for the next day. Took it back in, they fixed it, but I noticed about 8-9 big drops of red fluid in my parking spot. Leaking has stopped, but it's clear that the transfer case may have been stressed/hurt by this debacle. I'm taking it in for inspection tomorrow. If things are FUBAR, I have a few questions. - ENR34 manual transmission transfer cases seem impossible to source. Can a GTR transfer case fit? Or if not the whole thing, just seals or components? GTR is 6spd, mine's 5spd, so I'm thinking no, but lmk. - Finding a few RB25DE NEO AWD auto transmissions for sale, for decently cheap. If my only option is to swap to auto, what else will I need besides an auto-specific gauge cluster, and associated wiring? - I imagine the R32/33 GTS4 transmissions/transfer cases are a no-go? They're not NEO engines, so unsure. - RB25DET/4WD setup from the Stagea, any parts that transfer over? I did search up for this on SAU and google, very little info covered.   This is my first post, so apologies for breaking any rules, please let me know, and thanks for the help.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks. I agree, looking at those plugs in conjunction with good compression/leak down tests I'm not too certain its ring related anymore.  I have a Swagelok ball valve on the drain and tubed it lower down to the left side of car to easily dump it into a container. I do not drain back into the sump. I've never had to drain it though as there's never been any oil in it.
