Would you take a Laurel over a 'S' Chassis? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Conrad 2NR · 12-01-2011, 12:36 AM

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 · 12-01-2011, 02:31 AM

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.

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 · 12-01-2011, 02:48 AM

Yeah dude, Cefiros look like shit.

Laurels are the business.

doke! ドリフト · 12-01-2011, 03:18 AM

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

iStayBroke · 12-01-2011, 04:39 AM

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

eddieflo · 12-01-2011, 04:56 AM

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

!Zar! · 12-01-2011, 09:39 AM

Whichever is easier to get parts for as a whole.

Though I am a sucker for sedans.

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

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.

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

We have MANY Cefiros and Laurel. Here's another example

ghost_silvia · 12-01-2011, 11:05 AM

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.
