Many thanks to john from import bitz, i've just purchased a Nissan Laurel off him.

Just a run down if u don't know what a laurel is, 4 door sedan, r32 driveline (engine and box), s13 suspension setup. (like the ceffy's). I "think" (ie not sure) that they might be like a luxury version kinda thing

Came with cusco lsd, cat back, front and rear strut braces, gtr fuel pump, rechipped ecu, nardi steering wheel, shift and handbrake stuff etc. The body overall is great but unfortunately the door trims and dash have seen better days, i've sussed it out tho and basically just needs some new material reglued back on as most of it is cloth. However seats, carpet etc are great. Will be transferring a few goodies from my onevia onto it like coilovers, quickshifter and maybe the rb25 turbo. Plans for it are fmic, sound and wheels. Then it's cruise and drift ready. Will be used for those exact things and i'll be selling the onevia once it's painted. The laurel still needs a bit of work due to a few issues and then still needs compliance but im in no rush.

putting these wheels on it most likely

cheers

Nice choice, i was looking at getting one but would have had to wait longer than the cefiro. Not many in australia im sure. I have only seen one and it was auto anyway.

BTW its missing the laurel badge off the bonnet. Should try and get hold of one.

i think panels, badges etc are going to be a issue with this car so im not too worried about it. However we have a bodykit maker that sponsors our car club so im thinking of giving him the front guards to mould and see if he can make some fibreglass widened ones which i can buy just in case i stuff up cuz it's bound to happen if im drifting. Checked underneath today and noticed it has alluminium diff cradle bushes as well. Having an issue though with the fuel, the ecu had a lot of things piggy backed into it like turbo timer and safc etc, they have been removed and i think that a wire or two may be loose and stopping the fuel pump from being activated or the fuel pump is gone.

definately, i've never driven let alone drifted a car this heavy. The s13 was easy to get sideways and keep it, laurel will be interesting. Im just loving the fact that i got a sun roof, room to fit friends in the car and that i can actually fit comfortably and then throw it round the track.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
