Am Now The Owner Of A Laurel C33

[Samgrainger32]

ok so big news laurels tuned and going after a very expensive few weeks ended up throwing out the ems stinger shit edu and got a new haltech platinum pro after having to stuff around with the loom and cas as was all up the shit from the ems (NEVER BUY ONE) got the car to start and the tuner over to load a quick base map in so i could drive it to the dyno the next day few hours later it was done turns out i have a stock fuel pump not a walbro like i thought shame but that held me back on the dyno and tuner had to set the limiter to 6500 as it was starting to lean out over that so ended up with 260kw lot less then i was expecting but will be good to actually get a hang of the car as its still super quick and I've never had anything with that much power before and plan on putting better pump and injectors in it in a few months been going through the hassle of getting it rego passed few hassles but will hopfully have it sorted soon

Hell yeah! Nice numbers considering the low rpm limit.

[Samgrainger32]

yeah i was happy with it tuner says it will make 300-320 on 18psi with 1000id injectors and bigger fuel pump gonna be a very big jump haha

well spent the weekend driving the laurel around regoed and tuned for the first time and had the best time went out with a few friends for a drive friday night car went great beside speedo randomly stopping later find out the cable snapped just after the sender that sucked done few foot on coz straya!!! bit sad on the diff cutting one some times but a locked diff will be going in asap ready for power cruise also had to put a 10mm exstended clutch slave pin in as the clutch wasn't engagging all the way solved that so from now and power cruise actually have to learn to skid the car this will be fun

[DannyC33]

looks soo good man.

perfect fitment and one of the only cars actually like vskf's on.

where did you get the clear side indicator lights?

[Samgrainger32]

thanks man!!!!

got them from j land they pop up now and again on yahoo ill keep a look out for you

[DannyC33]

ah true. i have a trawl through import monster every few weeks but haven't seen them on there. only ones for c35 and a32 ceffy.

what are the specs on them vskf's btw?

[Samgrainger32]

front 17x9 +18

rear 18x9.5+18

[DannyC33]

interesting...

any clearance issues on the inside?

and exactly how far out the gaurds are the rears.

oh and whats your camber settings front and rear?

[Samgrainger32]

its not to bad being that there about 3mm gap between guard and tyre in the back I'm running 2 degrees in the back and 3 in the front the back has been lipped only and the front has been lipped and the top rail that always cuts the centre of the tyre in the front I've rolled over flat so it won't cut and also acts as a cover for the wiring loom

[Samgrainger32]

only seems to rub when theres someone in the back so i try to avoid taking more then 2 people

[DannyC33]

excellent. i should have absolutely no issues running 17x9+25s all round then.

cheers

[Samgrainger32]

na you'll be sweet!

just remember if your gonna go low cut and bash the lip in the front so you don't cut your tyre!!

[DannyC33]

haha yeah ive already bashed it up.

destroyed a few tires before i saw it there.

[RBC33]

My new ssr mesh rears are x9 +25. Just dropped the car on the ground last night and they sit flush and the guards are untouched. So they will fot perfect with zero camber and a slight lip

[Samgrainger32]
