Am Now The Owner Of A Laurel C33

[Samgrainger32]

yeah i was looking at them but $1200 wow

[RBC33]

Yeah but proven to bring boost on 500rpm in most applications I've even read somewhere boost come on nearly 1000rpm earlier. A mates mate had one for his 33 and he'd never seen a manifold that clean inside, the welds get ground smooth and polished almost, quality stuff really, and I guess the saying you get what you pay for shines here

[Samgrainger32]

yes very true ill look in to it a bit more i mean you want the best you really have to pay for the best i guess

on another note anyone seen one of these before come in a box of stuff with the car

[Samgrainger32]

good day today went up to mates to cut the section of engine bay i need to repair my laurels rusted bit out of his shell and found that his shell still has the clutch and break pedals and a manual dash cluster so good saved myself few $100

[RBC33]

are yeah shit i was looking at that forgot about you umm i did see the fuse box i know there is a hole engine loom there but i cut it in half when i took the half of the car off but the rest is there i think message him and ask he would know whats there but there is defs a fuse box still mounted in side the car

[Samgrainger32]

theres tail lights as well but right one is cracked

[RBC33]

I'm after the engine bay fusebox but will give him a message on Facebook. May have made my search a whole lot easier

[Samgrainger32]

ohhh yeah well i think that is there as well and that is probably complete fingers crossed

[Samgrainger32]

well yesterday i sold the r32 thank god so now the manual gearbox will come and getting closer to doing the conversion spent today putting on the new steering rack boots and taking the aircon pump out (as it was left in there with just the pump and nothing else) still waiting on the manifold and other gaskets to come then put all that back on cant wait to drive it again even if it is auto

[Samgrainger32]

anyone got a clutch and slave cylinder and the line still trying to get some parts together for the conversion let me know!!

[jiri styles]

6 boost all the way

[Samgrainger32]

$$$$$$

[Samgrainger32]

alright so im almost there with all my conversion parts ive got a question ive searched and havent been able to find the answer...

As im putting the 25 box on to the 25 motor what sort of sandwitch plate will i need to bolt up or should it bolt straight to the bell housing ???

[RBC33]

There's a flex plate that goes between them I think. Like 3mm thick maybe? Is that what your talking about?

[Samgrainger32]

yeah the sandwich plate think ive got it sorted now got gearbox on its way now just have to get slave and master and sort out hoe to hook the speedo up

[RBC33]

Speedo is easy get a d22 navara speedo sender, get navara cog off (die grinder with cut off blade) drill r33 gearbox cog out to suit navara Speedo sender shafts size. Slide r33 cog onto navara speedo sensor shaft and use some lock tite glue on it to be safe. Put navara speedo sensor in box ad make a new sensor bracket to hold it in

[Samgrainger32]

yeah ive read a few things now about doing it hope it is easy just hit the other issue few mins ago got new steering rack ends and thinking they would be the same as s13 buuuuutttt no to small do you know what sorta steering racks they have?
