Pedro Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Looks like a pretty clean example. Are they NZ plates? Quote Link to comment
Eric Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Thank you all :) It is in a pretty good condition, it has been rebuild about 10 years ago, but unfortunately not to a very high standard so i will have to do it again. But as you can imagine parts for it are hard to find, very hard.. The plates are Dutch. Quote Link to comment
Eric Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 The new engine was brought yesterday, it is an sr20de form an S15 Silvia. RWD, non turbo, reliable and modern :) Will start swapping it over next week, will swap complete front S13 front suspension and brakes too. Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Don't know that engine.... what is it? Thats a G18. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 It does look so much like a 510 just a little wider and longer I like it a lot! Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yep, they were developed at the same time the 510 was... Prince designed the Laurel whereas Nissan developed the 510. Its a good looking car. A friend of mine owns one in Europe. Quote Link to comment
Eric Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 It looks like a 510 indeed, just a bit larger :) Where in Europe is your friend, i know of one in the Netherlands, one in Switzerland and two in Norway. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 He is in Norway. He doesn't do the online car thing, but maybe you do know of him... It's completely torn apart for a complete restore. Quote Link to comment
Eric Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 No i dont think i know that one :) But now i do. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yeah, I cant remember where he picked it up at. He was in the US Army and has jumped around Europe. He settled in Norway and is working on the Laurel. He says it will be a very very long build though. Parts are hard for him to find and hes doing a full and complete restore so hes looking for perfect parts. I havent talked to him in a bit though, maybe hes made good progress. Yours looks great. Cant wait to see more work. Quote Link to comment
Eric Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Parts are very hard to find, it might look like a 510 but nothing from a 510 fits on a C30. I have the same problem. Just have to be very carefull with the parts i have i guess. Quote Link to comment
Eric Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Fixed the tension rod problem i had: and fixed most of the steering issues today, connected the Laurel steering to the s14 steering: 1 Quote Link to comment
teepee Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hello! My first post to this site. First sorry my bad english (I am from Finland). I found this forum, because I have a right side front fender to sell to Datsun 1800(C30). And it is only thing left from the car I had 25 years ago. I thought, that someone here may need part like that. I dont know, is here in Finland any C30 left, so its useless for me. Part is new (bought it 1987) :thumbup: , unused and in good condition.Littlebit fiberglass and rust in front(see pics). Locates in Finland. Here is pics and link to finnish marketsite: http://www.nettivaraosa.com/auton-varaosat/1723594 Thanks Timo Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hi Timo, Unfortunately C30 was never sold in USA. I would notify Ozdat about your part. Quote Link to comment
Eric Posted December 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 So here we are, 3 years later. Car has bean sitting in the garage for all this time. Today i took the dusty cover off and pulled it out of the corner. Just before i put it in the corner 3 years ago i installed an SR20 . Never finished that. Took the motor out today and made an appointment with a restoration company to do some metal work on this. Time to get her back on the road. 5 Quote Link to comment
