1992 Nissan Laurel Medalist (USA Import) Japan Aution Purchase Review

[@darius2640]

this must be the only car in the world that appeals equally to grandpas and drifters

[@elizabethcherry920]

I actually like the Laurel over the Skyline, you don't see them as much

[@wayneramkissoon6420]

Welcome to Trinidad where all drifters start off

Laurel, Since 1968, that’s going to be in my mind forever

[@hk20000]

Too bad it's no more. I have the C35 and it still says that on there.

[@JTucson]

What a clean car! Grats to whoever purchased this beauty!

[@jasonmuir2925]

Great to finally see a Laurel review! Not entirely sure if it’s the first on your channel but the first I’ve seen. Two months ago I purchased a clean 1990 with the RB20DET which only had over 62,000km. The only mods are a manual swap, coil overs and wheels. Such a pleasant daily driver that gets noticed more than I assumed it would.

[@jimmy19736]

Its the rb20e, not de, but what a nice example, perfect and so much features at the time....

[@ninjamoto21]

Yoo this is hella nostalgic lol... my grandpa had one of these back when i was a kid.. too bad he scrapped it bcuz he barley used it and maintaining a car in japan is very expensive

[@Passshtet777]

I had exactly such a car in the same color in 2009-2012. The car has a soul and charisma, I still remember.

[@andxx0r_the_second671]

Those 7-spoke alloys are some of my favorite OEM wheels from the era. I especially like them on the Skyline GTS25.

[@ivorton23]

Always loved these C33 Laurels. Wanted one since I was a kid in Trinidad. If you had one back in the day you were the man. My dad was looking into buying one but unfortunately didnt get it. It was about $75k back then. This is a great alternative to an R32. Also a great alternative is the A31 Cefiro

[@sixfeetmonsta]

ivorton23 that's like a Trinidad version of an R32........ Not much 32's in Trini either

[@ivorton23]

Yup it is...its like a R32 GTS-T 4 door...never saw a GTS-T in Trinidad...only GTRs

[@sixfeetmonsta]

I have seen a couple recently in the drag events, but parked in the car park tho. Nonetheless, quite cool to see them 32's in the wild

[@ivorton23]

Kool...I want to get one in the states here...trying to decide if to get a c33 or R32 4 door...kinda leaning towards the c33

[@sixfeetmonsta]

If it was my choice, I'd take the C33. So much Skylines there now you'd be different with the Laurel

[@tnmoe-]

Classic 240SX 7-spoke wheels! What a sweet car!

[@forsakenfactory8413]

Getting one of these with an rb20 pulled from a skyline in the next few months. Always loved watching your videos, whenever I import my own car I'll be definitely going through you guys, I appreciate you go over stuff

[@jdmguy44]

Very cool car, classic JDM. Love it.

[@rebelmaderighteous]

I've always had a thing for these

[@R33Racer]

My 1996 Primera still uses a distributor. It went on until 2002 with the P12 launch.

[@twincamuuu]

R33Racer Cool, is it 1.6?

[@R33Racer]

Twincam 2.0 SR20DE. SE model.

[@twincamuuu]

R33Racer mhmm, thought that 2.0 didn't have them. Still looking forward to getting one (maybe a GT if I am lucky) this year after I get my license

[@R33Racer]

Twincam If you're from the UK, good luck. Most has rotted away now.

[@zbrembo]

Yea my 2004 D22 still has a distributor

[@queperry]

Man what a perfect car for a DE-T swap. More power for daily driving. These sometimes appear in the wild as drift cars over here. I think the world would be ok with this one just being a clean daily

[@maxkiely9257]

not with that engine! thats rb20e junk

[@DANNYN224]

This is a clean one I hope to import one in the future with body kit I need a A/T transmission

[@MashedPotatonator]

I see a very nice Mercedes 190E in the background. I'm really hoping that that'll go on the channel some day.

[@cawimmer430]

It looks like a 190E 2.3-16V /190E 2.5-16V. Lovely!

[@mhooi]

Such a clean Laurel, amazing

[@JohnLucasPolak]

Hi Derek, Thank you for producing such a great content. You are showing us a genuine car enthusiast inside look, so big shout out to you and to the others, that are involved in production, or just to all of you guys from PCJDM. I don't have my driving licence yet, but you guys are the ones, I would like to get my first car from... well, as soon as I'll be able to afford a decent one :D To the video: Good point about the car shape, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that miss this angular shapes and narrow pillars in today's car design, but on the other hand, safety first right? BTW, I knew its purpose, but wasn't quite sure about the process, so thank you for explaining how distributor works :)

[@civicmaster5005]

6:44 DONT SCREAM OUTTA NOWHERE I GOT SCARED D:

[@RFBZealand]

CivicMaster500 That scared me too😂

[@marvinmartinsYT]

In pretty good shape! Pity it’s not a turbo setup. This has S13 suspension. Also has all cefiro interior. Seats are based on skyline sports type seat.

[@kylegilmore3810]

I don't think you'd have to cut it... doesn't the upper seat belt just unhook?

[@Acc0rd79]

Great family car:)

[@Siknik64]

My 1995 Toyota Tacoma has a distributor. I don't mind it. I hear they're more reliable in certain cases than coil packs.

[@M3xiiii]

Beautiful

[@WolfrCats]

I’d love to see you, Derik: To review a Nissan Pulsar. Not sure if they’re rare or not. All I know about is how bad ass they are.

[@Riley180sx]

[@anaruneilson2558]

Haha I've had a pulsar,common as over here in NZ

[@ericluna8397]

I really hope these don't sky rocket in price this is my dream car and hope to own one, one day.

[@wizkean5988]

Everything is original wow 😍

[@marvinmartinsYT]

If your audience are mainly millennials, (?) Your explanation of the distributor was well said.

[@Ahmed-pc4cd]

That car looks dope man!

[@Ianburwell]

I'm very curious about how rare a 82 corolla is and how much it would be US to purchase and import getting a nice amount of savings in the bank account and that is my dream car

[@pindev1]

The faults of these laurels are the Ac vents drops out a lot but all an all it’s a great car Nissan

[@danielcastaneda7801]

Toyota must have taken notes on this when they were designing the Windom/Es300. It looks so similar, the frameless door windows, center console, green ignition lighting, the square-ish shape. Unfortunately they just used the Camry chassis, but great affordable executive luxury sedan nonetheless. Nissan used to be ahead of the game with these sedans.

[@danielcastaneda7801]

The worst part is they didnt want to bring the Chaser over here

[@azrifadli7900]

5:24 I see the Mercedes Benz

[@rogermiller6049]

The zenki models had the suicide seat belts in them. I would kill for a x81 that clean.

[@linchester8464]

slight correction that is a RB20E SOHC not the RB20DE RB20DE will have the camshaft cover and the camshaft angle sensor

[@Riley180sx]

Lin Chester it’s a rb20e

[@babachicen]

I’ve never heard of it till my neighbor made a project car out of it lol

Well, I found a 1991 Nissan Laurel commercial on KZbin ... classical music and freaky big blue roses ... no "since 1968" in English though ... search "1991 Nissan Laurel (C33) Commercial" on KZbin.

Very nice looking!

[@guilhermevalentim95]

Omg you scared me so much that I jumped in my chair LOL

[@jadonduncan1153]

Thats an RB20e by the way. Not a DE

[@bradleymohammed4689]

Hope you soon make a video on a nissan cefiro a31

[@hk20000]

You don't cut the seatbelt mount off, you can separate them and fold the upper Mount away once you do that. Nissan has you covered.

[@soggycrix2710]

How do you separate them?

[@hk20000]

It's another seat belt buckle plugged into to the top pivot point.

[@soggycrix2710]

Damn apparently that feature is only available on certain models

[@hk20000]

It's not an RB20DE since 1968...... Thats a RB20E

Did these old buckets come with airbags and other modern safety features? That's why they are cheap as chips. Sorry had to add my 10 pence
