1989 Nissan Laurel Medalist C33 review from Australia and New Zealand
"A mean looking rel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers door trim wearing.
Tappet cover gasket oil leak.
General comments?
I've just purchased this car. Looks the part with bigger mags and lower springs. A really sleek luxurious car.
Expected more performance from the RB20 petrol engine. Considering engine transplant to the RB20DET turbo version. Anyone with any idea what is involved in certifying the turbo please email me. Having difficulty finding replacement springs and struts for the petrol model. Any help email i_luv_wardsbeer@hotmail.com.
