Would you take a Laurel over a 'S' Chassis?

[Conrad 2NR]

They're the illegitimate child of a R32 Skyline and S13, at least this model (C33) is. The C34 and C35 share parts with the S14/S15 Silvias and R33/R34 Skylines.

They have 2 extra doors (same as sedan Skyline) and are powered with a RB on a rwd drivetrain. Suspension of a 'S' chassis, engine/drivetrain of the Skylines yet where I'm from they're sold for much less than the sportier version Nissans.

lol, is this a poll of some sort?

What do you plan on doing with the results?

[MADE]

Only over the S13, is the only choice over an S-chassis. Other than the C35 I never liked the look of laurels. The A31 just had more or an appeal over the C33.

[Conrad 2NR]

lol, is this a poll of some sort?

What do you plan on doing with the results?

Lol, no. Just opinions and probably a discussion on a longer wheel base vs a short wheel base not to mention the practicality for daily use of a sedan vs a coupe/hatch. Also there's the factor that it comes with a RB and can easily fit the ever popular JZ because of its longer engine bay.


I had an A31 Cefiro prior to my 180SX. Some would consider that a move in the wrong direction. I myself couldn't wait to get rid of it.

[ayuaddict]

Yeah dude, Cefiros look like shit.

Laurels are the business.

[doke! ドリフト]

A31's and C33's are my two favorite nissans ever made Period the end

[iStayBroke]

If I was getting a four door it would be a JZX, then maybe a C33

[eddieflo]

MAYBE over an s13, but only because of the RB motor...

[!Zar!]

Whichever is easier to get parts for as a whole.

Though I am a sucker for sedans.

[Bushido]

r32 4 door for me plz

[zooopreme]

Though I am a sucker for sedans.

^That...

Other than the RB, I'd keep the S13.

[Matej]

There are a couple Laurels I like, but overall they are a pretty ugly car, and that is the ugliest one I have seen yet.

Although if you think that one is cool, you obviously do not care for appearances, so go with whatever your jolly heart desires.

[K_style]

F*ckin A !


^That...

Other than the RB, I'd keep the S13.

I'd prefer SR in it...


back to OP, I'd do C33
You should do poll

[Conrad 2NR]

I fully agree on the JZX>C33.

As said before consumables would be either Silvia or Skyline so fairly easy to source. They also share many features with the A31 so that's more parts to choose from.

We have MANY Cefiros and Laurel. Here's another example (http://www.stancemovement.com/2011/04/careless-whisper-meet-one-of-the-cleanest-c35s-youll-ever-see/)

[ghost_silvia]

A31's do not look shitty! Basically look like a s13 sedan. Laurels on the other hand look like they fell from the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

[tricky_ab]

I fully agree on the JZX>C33.




Cosigned! Though I'd take a C35 all day! If I were to keep it Nissan.

[LeaS13Zenki]

[90240sx07]

id take a laurel over a s13 hatch but not a coupe

[sash_ak21]

^ Agreed s13 coupes are better looking then both.

[kalypso123]

[TheRealSy90]

[!Zar!]

Money .

[dreamin240sx]

lol, you can make almost any car look good with wheels and flared fenders. That said, I like old ugly cars that are fun to drive. You can beat the shit out of it and not care as much.

[jholman]

I love the look of them. I would personally rather have one

[tricky_ab]

If I had a scanner, I'd be able to scan various Laurel issues of Drift Tengoku... :(

[ILoveMyRHS13]

I fucking love Laurels.

[driftsucky]

Nope. I don't like the way they generally look. A stock body S-chassis with just wheels and a drop looks better to me than a stock body Laurel with just wheels and adrop. I mean, I could get'em to look good but then I'd feel like I was trying too hard.

C35 only.

[s13 @ fullboost]

i know someone who has a c33 he loves it, I have drove it feels like a super sized s chassis

[atom]

Agreed, C35 only.

C33's are as bad if not worse than Cressida's, looks wise.

A31/C33 are piles of shit. Along with every other early 90s japanese car.

i sense sarcasm

[deathrace2000]

I prefer an S-Chassis to a Laurel. What about an F31?

[Toi]

I prefer anything with wheels, and drives....

Screw everyone else, this isn't a fashion show......err wait yea some of this place is Form > Function so it is a fashion show never mind
