  • We wouldn’t blame most non-JDM heads for passing right by the Nissan Laurel: it’s a car from the peak of the boxy 80s/90s era of Japanese sedans. But to some, it’s the perfect platform to chuck an RB swap into, for some seriously surprised faces (and generous amounts of lols) on the street.

      @@tony_5156 it's a cool car to some, in my country it's mainly used as taxi cars but in the past few years people are using them to get into the drift scene, you could think of it as the S-chassis of my country, cheap (kinda), parts are easily available and reliable.

Hell we use to buy a rolling shell with live plates for 500bucks , grab an rb25de for 500 bucks, turbo set up 500bucks good tune an we were away laughing . Now days u looking 45-50k nzd to buy something built and clean. It's insane how much the prices have spiked. I'd love to build another Jdm beast but it's just way outta my price range nowadays.
