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

Jayson

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.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
