	G'day guys and gals! I'm Jelmer from the Netherlands and my Retro ride is a 1983 Datsun Laurel C31. I bought it this summer and the previous owner realy trashed it. He didn't maintain it, used it a lot offroad and on top of it he crashed it! Than it sat for a year and this is where I bought it. The day I picked it up: IMG_20160714_210353200_HDR by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr After a wash with the pressure washer and a soap: IMG_20160716_172704130 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20160716_172715398 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr And the damage of the crash: IMG_20160716_172740188_HDR by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr Now I only needed to find the parts to fix the damage and repair it. This is where I found out that C31's are very, very rare these days! I happend to find 2 wings in Belgium, a new OEM bumper in Holland and a new headlight off Ebay from Colombia! The new bumper: IMG_20160719_211943929 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr The guy would only sell it togheter with a LH rear door skin: IMG_20160719_211935117 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr The new headlight: IMG_20160811_181040838_HDR by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr The radiator was leaking a lot and a recore is pretty expensive so I fitted a S14 alu rad: IMG_20160813_180910346 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr I also changed the oil, all filters, plugs, leads, cap and rotor arm. The exhaust was a real mess so i decided to make my own from stainless in 2,5" with 2 straight thru muflers: IMG_20160813_164347635_HDR by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20160813_164333328_HDR by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20160813_164223520 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20160813_164231132 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20160813_164209933 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20160813_175354893 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr Than the damage got fixed: IMG_20160910_154058596_HDR by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20160911_182459521 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr It also got new shocks in the rear, new front wheel bearings, new brakes shoes and cilinders and some wheels from a Nissan Almera and it was ready for MOT (APK) IMG_20160920_192619124 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr I drove it for a while but the cold starts where hard and the was a pig when cruising. It also had a hickup when accelerating out of a corner so I decided to give the carb a rebuild. Took it apart, cleaned it in my ultra sonic cleaner and put it together again with fresh gaskets, needles and all that. Adjusted it to factory spec and it drove perfect! Cold start was great now with a working choke! But after driving it for a while the need for more power arise! My previous hobby car was a BMW E28 where I put in a '93 M5 engine with 340Hp so 113Hp was not very satifiyng! A friend of mine did a lot of JDM engines and he had a VG30DET sitting for a while. This is a single turbo 3.0 V6 24v from the Nissan Chima or Cedric/Gloria.

	IMG_20161019_155612247 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr I straightened the chrome trim for the front bumper and put it on the new bumper together with a spare inner bumper beam I got from the UK: IMG_20161029_214235132 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20161029_214213559 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr Looks better with the chrome! IMG_20161107_180655588 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr Than I started on the swap. Took the engine to my shed and got the old L24 out: IMG_20161108_182605950 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20161112_182609786 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20161112_182558316 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20161112_182544512 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr Because the VG30DET only came in RHD cars the turbo could be a problem with my LHD car because the turbo is where the steering box is on LHD cars. I measured and it "should"fit! I put a 300zx twin turbo gearbox in the car to mock everything up. I have to run the engine pretty much in the middle of the bay because otherwise the turbo hits the steeringbox. This is not a problem because now I can use the stock sump and stock 300zx shifter bracket and linkage.

Easy IMG_20161230_153639215 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20161230_153648473_HDR by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr Next job will the the drive shaft. I bought a 300zx one that needs the front half to be adapted to the C31 rear section. Than the cooling system and at last teh wiring. This will be a Megasquirt2 because I already have that.

	This is my Patrol: IMG_20160411_161600912_HDR by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr I also worked on the C31 again. A friend of mine has a lot of JDM engines and gearboxes and this is where I went shopping for a alternator and powersteering pump. I got the alternator brackets of a VG30DETT and the powersteering pump of a VG30E from a Terrano 1 but the brackets for it from the DETT again. I took some extra tensioners and brackets just in case. Back at home I tried them and it worked out great. I just need to change the front damper/pulley to the DETT one and I'm set. IMG_20170106_172520574 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20170106_172808138 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20170106_172547802 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr One of the problem was the inlet manifold touching the front brake hardline out of the master cilinder. A quick look in a stash of Patrol parts got me a master cilinder out of a Patrol 160. This has the front hardline outlet on top of the cilinder so that problem is solved! Bonus is that it bolts right up to the vacuum booster and it is bigger which helps with the future brake upgrade. IMG_20170104_190839325 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20170102_192525137 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20170104_190932816 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20170104_190914321 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr I also got a NOS LSD unit in for the H190 rear end! These are hard to come by but I bought this in Japan. It was only used to test the break away and than stored on the shelf with more LSD's. I thought about a S13 rearend swap but this is way more easy and these axles can handle 450+ HP on drag slicks so plenty strong. IMG_20170102_193549027 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr A couple of weeks ago I took the tank out to look how to deal with the fuel delivery. I needed bigger lines for sure and my plan was to make a Walbro work in the stock tank. Unfortunately the tank was pretty rusted and I'm sure I would discover holes in it when I would wire brush it so a new tank was needed. I took a look ate C32 tanks and these look to have the same shape. So I got a tank from a C32 diesel and it is indeed almost the same exept that these have a way bigger pickup/fuel level lever hole so it wil be very easy to put the Walbro in this tank. The C31 was carburated so it didn't have a pickup like the C32.

	Did some things to the Laurel again. I got a throttle cable from a C32 Laurel diesel but this is to long (C31 cable was to short) but a custom bracket will solve that. On the picture I have it in the cruise cable slot: IMG_20170114_132107690 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr Some stupid ass lifted the engine on the throttle body connecting rod so this was missing and it bend the shafts on both throttle bodys but luckely I found a set including the rod on Yhaoo auctions! IMG_20170114_132117316 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20170114_132152629 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr I also got a R33 radiator which has the in and outlet on the same side as the VG ones.

	Interesting to see all the little jobs involved in such a big one, certainly looks like a tight fit.

	Some more action on the C31. I got the stock C31 powersteering line back in and the high pressure line bolted right up to the pump. These oldschool Nissans all have the resevoir on top of the pump but this pump has a remote resevoir so that is what I will use. I got one from a Patrol Y60. IMG_20170118_202153147 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr The cooling is getting together too. The outlet for the top hose needs a small piece welded to it s that the hose will reach it. The bottom one needs a join pipe to connect 2 hoses. IMG_20170130_193003201 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr Another job done is the Walbro install. I got a S13 fuel sender unit in a used this instead of the C32 one because it has two 8mm lines instead of one 8mm and a 6mm return line. After some measuring, cutting, fabricating and soldering it fits. I was out of hose clamps but I will add another one.

IMG_20170209_201031234 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr Hey, wait a minute! Where is the fuel sender? I plan on cutting an extra hole in the tank and put the C31 sending unit there. This way It reads correct and it is the easyest way to do so.

	Thanks! Yesterday I test fitted the Patrol MC. It clears everything and bolts richt up to the booster! Big plus is the larger diameter. Next week the rebuild kit for it comes in from the US. They are the same kit for the Nissan Van C22 but Nissan bought these vans all back in the USA because they cought on fire. So Rock auto never sells any parts for it and the rebuild kit was only € 2,20! Shipping was €10,15 but still a bargain!

Before: (manifold it not completly in place here bacuse of the brake line) IMG_20170104_190839325 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr After: IMG_20170216_193423125 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr For the manifold I bought a cast alu thight radius bend and mocked it up to be welded. Looks great I think!

The outlet pipe on the engine will get an extra piece welded to it so that I can put a simple L shaped hose on it instead of some dodgy connected hose and stuff. You can see it on the last picture.
