Yo, long time moocher, 1st time poster.
I thought ide share some of my motors with you.
This project is a 1987 c32 nissan laurel.
The story behind this car goes a little something like this, while cruising around on a website called retro rides i came across this laurel, it was for sale months ago and the bloke wanted a quick sale as he was being laid off, but he decided at the last moment he wanted to keep it so all deals were off.
Just out of chance i sent him a message about where to get another of these as i wanted a proper pimp jap saloon, he got back quickly saying i could have his as he now wanted rid, so after scraping the money together and getting in there 1st before the bangers did i saved a old jap from the scrap.
Went and picked the old girl up from birminghamish way so took a solid 3 hours to get there, but when i drove her back she was perfect, engine quiet, no rattles, bangs, squeeks, tings, etc, but the prop donut is on its way out but thats nothing major.
Anyway got her to the unit, took some pics and promptly forgot about her as the MA70 was taking all my time.
But a few months later i started gathering things up for her for her trip to the tarmac, i gots me some s13 hubs, disks, calipers, control arms and some swish cusco coilovers, then the work started.
While i was inspecting the coilovers and removing the helper springs i got a thought, so i rung my mate paul and asked 'Is it possible to remove the coilover springs and just have the helper springs or would they shear when i lower this bitch and lose a eye' his response was for us to go for it since we want that ridiculous slammage.
So we did.
This shows the sizes of the standard c32 spring, the coilover spring and the helper spring seated.
we wernt quite ready for what happened next but we loved it.
Now to Americans this might not be low but to the english i think we all know VOSA will be after my blood once they see this.
There is still room under the arches for about another 20mm of drop and the coilovers will allow this but ive got to see what its like on the road first before i jump into that.
We also started on the fronts but it got dark and we got hungry so went home.
Just remember this cars ment to be FUN.
Thats all it is, the more fun you have the more you want to learn and in return the more you can have fun with.
Comments welcome.
Oh and a little pic of my daily.
Peace.
