1989 Nissan Laurel Medalist C33 from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

Drivers door trim wearing.

Tappet cover gasket oil leak.

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.

Nice choice man, just the same as me. and good choice from the previous car, good upgrade. if have done already the cat is very very restricting. I was surprise when I removed mine.

I assume it's an RB20DE Laurel?

I Have one too, But it's called a 1989 Nissan Laurel Club S

don't know where the C33 is from

Mines an RB20DE auto and runs really well (236,000k's)

I have a nissan laurel and it has done a 97,000 miles and it still drives like new. I think anyone that wants to buy one I strongly advise you to because there fast, cheap and reliable.

I have the Club L version with the RB20DET, unfortunatly these all came out with Auto's just at the stage of finding the manual conversion parts.

Love the laurel don't ever want to sell it, they look mint lowered on 18 inch mags.

I just bought a 1989 Laurel Medalist Twin Cam Turbo, it's an HC33, with an RB20- performs well... however like the first writer, my shock absorbers are on their way out, and I cannot seem to find shocks ANYWHERE. Can anyone help me out by emailing me a company name or a website where I can at least order a set of shocks? They are the electronically adjustable type, pretty hard to find. If someone could send me a number of a local company in your area that carries these that would be excellent, too. My email address is sean@mail2arabic.com. HELP!!!

I just been given a 89 Nissan Laurel diesel automatic and am looking at converting to petrol. Going to put a rb20de manual in. I'm just wondering if anyone has done it, and if there is anything I should know about before I start pulling things apart.

Would it be easy to put a RB20DET manual into a 1990 laurel medalist 2.8 L diesel Automatic.
