Same with my front end rack and suspension, not sure what it is so i will get a pic asap

-Chasing Engine/Box Set-up

[Dan_J]

looks like a fun build

-s13 rail only 3 holes mount up, so mod one corner or get a r32/r33 rail

-thats a s13/r32 rear cradle which will obviously fit( the a31/c33 doesnt have an exhaust mount at the rear of it ), seems like you need a hicas lock bar or toe arms as i cant tell if its non hicas)

- also need a r200 s13/r32 4 bolt diff backing

pics of tube rear end?

figure your on SD ?

I like the cage!

Where did you get those guards!! Its so hard to find wider guards for laurels

[Jstylerobert]

Dmax still make them in wide and d1 vented etc and ya need to send them via container only due to there size when packed etc. containers land in brissy tho. You can maybe send them via air ems but would be more costly. Final Konnexion im pretty sure do them as well, i cant find rears tho. Final Konnexion do frp doors as well which im gonna get after i finish the cage side bars. I get wholesale rates too if anyone wants new gear when i get mine.

[Andrew R]

Wide body rears don't exist for Laurel's

[Jstylerobert]

Yeah i might just get some bolt on flares for the rear and see how they look with the dmax front guards

[Andrew R]

What sort of wheels are you running to fill them? It's hard to pull off fibreglass fronts on 4 doors. Bolt ons are a way different shape to the gradual flare of fronts and wide fronts with nothing on the rear looks retarded.

[Jstylerobert]

Still working out an offset and width to run, then will order some works due to wholesale discount and they offer heaps of sizes offsets disk type etc.

Been trying to find some 16" ssr meshies on yahoo tho as they seem to suit the 4drs and i like that style of rim. Yeh the rears are pole flared from previous owner so i might just tidy them up and leave them, saves getting itchy repairing f/glass everytime tyre shreds/blows. The Final Konnexion kit is quite different, seems to flow fine with the dmax guards, just need to sort rear and get the perfect offset so the rear does look right etc

[Andrew R]

It's more the proportions that look odd if the front bulges and the rear's standard. I have 16x9 0's on the front with 15mm spacers an they probably wouldn't quite fill 40mm guards yet 16x8 +1's just fit with too much camber and a pole flare on the rear. Have to go metal flares to fit 10's under to make it proportioned.

[Jstylerobert]

Yeh i hear ya there. Ill have to fiddle about with offsets etc as i want to slide on the same size rears all the time etc. im only looking to run 9's front and rear. The metal flares sound the go and would flow better for my FK rear bar, i need a metal fabricator friend lol.

[DannyC33]

Looks good mate. Keen to see where this ends up.

How often do you import stuff from japan? Me and another laurel owner from adl are lookin for a few things at the moment.

[Frenchie1001]

my bride s13 rail fitted straight up, and guards can be sent ems

[Jstylerobert]

Cheers Danny, after i finish the mammoth paint prep it will come together quickly, drift cravings are killing me lol.

Im on yahoo jp every night bidding etc so theres sea post and air ems leaving all the time from kyoto.

For big parts and cars/ motorbikes i use shane bingham in osaka / erin jdm garage bris for container space so if your parts are small etc i can send them direct to your door otherwise it would need to be posted from bris to adelaide from the container. Streeter gives me his wholesale discount rates for new parts too so i always beat local prices.

Cheers frenchie i already have an s13 rail in erins container so ill try it out first

[toffy]

Seat rail is skyline , but you have to be careful because laurel have bracing on the b pillar just in front of the rear bolt hole and super low rails don't clear

[Jstylerobert]

Cheers for the detailed answer matey

Update on Car is not much as work is busy as puck, will post photos on the weekend of a few sets of wheels n other parts i got coming from jp. Hoping to take the car into work soon so i can paint it and do the perspex parts and finish the boot/ rear tubs.

Need rb n box for this too.......i want to slide now

[Jstylerobert]

Getting a bit closer to paint, not sure on white or black yet
