Am Now The Owner Of A Laurel C33

[Samgrainger32]

Hahaha love to know what that car has got done to it

[Samgrainger32]

bit of news on the car the past 3 weeks its up in damos shed (DJRIFT) having wiring fixed and the manual gearbox rewired we had our ups and downs with the manifold after finding the mild steel manifold i brought pushed the dump pipe across to much so the turbo wouldn't fix and ended up staying with the stainless manifold after dr damo come to the conclusion that it was not the manifold that was at fault but the gasket as i was using a multilayer type that everyone seems to speak so highly of but the layer are held together with small rivets and that was holding the manifold out just to make it leak so i went and got a factory nissan one as directed by damo and the factory one are alot thicker spent the rest of the time pulling the manifold on and off because of stripping the thread on of the head but ended up getting it on and nice and tight and started the car was amazed NO MANIFOLD LEAK wiring for the gearbox was done horn and high beams fixed so i can pass pits with it then had a look at the steering as ever since i got it had very heavy steering like there was no power steering after looking it to it more found that from factory the club L laurels have a sporty steering on/off switch in the cab but never seemed to do anything when i flicked it and damo was about to power the unit up that controlled the steering and was like magic steering felt amazing just how it should he then wired it in to the ignition and works perfect now... Soo now its almost there just need new turbo and a tune get rid of that shit ebay one and get the car regoed was think of getting a quick and cheaper tune by fuletech just for now till ive saved up for the new turbo and dyno tune im happy to say its 70% done!!!

anyone know if S chassis strut braces fit laurels? as trying to find a good laurel one is hard

[skyline32sup]

pretty sure mine is actually

[CEF33Y]

Yeah s chassis strut brace can fit, but need to check first, I had to trim the throttle cable bracket on the RB20 in my cefiro to get one off my S14 to fit.

I think you'll find cefiro/laurel specific ones run along the firewall to clear the motor.

[Samgrainger32]

ohh ok ive never seen a laurel made one what im really looking for is a strut brace that not only goes from tower to tower but braces off the fire wall as well ive seen some before but no idea on where to get them from anyone seen them before

[Samgrainger32]

ohhh wow thats a good page thanks for that i have a forward facing plenum so wont have to worry about clearing the throttle cable if s13 fits just hoping i can find one that braces to the firewall that fits..

25g's are way are heaps more grunty than what your chasing

[Samgrainger32]

anyone know where to buy turbosmart 38mm gate springs from ive looked and i cant find anything

[Samgrainger32]

new turbo brought kinugawa T67 thanks to discotune quickly ripped the other turbo off and test fit the 67 and the front housing is so big its hitting on the rocket cover so a mates going to notch the cover through the week and give it another go next week end i also started the car with out the airflow meter plugged in and car continued to run fine so must be running off the ems map sensor so i wont worry about putting the afm back in and fingers crossed they just never worried about taking it out??

and still waiting on a gate spring but once the turbos on its off to get tuned and rego!!!!!
