The first pic is of the whole car sitting in front of english school that I work at.



This is a pic of the interior. You can't tell this used to be an automatic. The company that I bought the car from swapped in the transmission from an R32 GTS-t Type M. The center counsel has all new pieces ordered from Nissan. Inluded in the kit are the new counsel cover with shift boot and slot for a side brake instead of the T-style hand brake that would sit directly behind the automatic shifter.



Let me know what you all think. The stance on the car looks sweet with 16" wheels and lowered suspension thanks to JIC coilovers and springs.

Very nice, great car. Looks good. Need more/bigger pics, though. Kinda hard to see much with those ones.

sorry bout that with them being small and all. I took them with my cell phone and e-mailed them to my yahoo account. I have a digital cam, but the damn program won't download to my Viao. Is there anyway to resize them without loosing picture quality?

Convert them go .gif. Gifs don't lose quality during size change.

You can buy a card reader for whatever card your camera uses for about $15. Just pop the card in there and copy and paste the pics.

I love the looks of the Laurel. Kind of reminds me of the best parts of a Stanza, a second gen Maxima, a G50 Q45 all put together.

Thanks man...and to everyone else. What part of Illinois you from. I am really close to the Galesburg area, also knows as west central. But if you live there you prolly know that.

and how do I convert them. I have heard of the card readers, but my wife has some wierd model of digital cam. We even went to Polaroid's website here in Japan, and it's not even listed in the model selection.

Just run a search on google for gif converters. You should be able to find one for free.

Or check out this site: http://www.webmastertoolscentral.com

A friend of mine runs that site.

As for the card reader, does the camera take storage cards? If so, pull it out and see what it says on it. Common storage card formats are SD (secure digital), Mini DS, XD, CF (compact flash), Memory Stick (a Sony proprietary storage media) and there are new Micro SD cards that I doubt your camera uses (they are about an eighth of an inch by a quarter of an inch in size--just too small for a camera).

Irfanview does a resampled resizing that sort of maintains image quality. http://www.irfanview.com

I don't have a digicam program at all. If you're running Windows XP, usually you can just hook your camera to the USB and the rest is self explanatory.

Back on subject, that Laurel is sexy! You should definitly put it in members rides section or on Cardomain.com and make sure to link it so we can see more pics!

I tried getting my car on at car domain, but the bastards don't have my model, and I really don't want to list it under another type of ride. They have other JDM cars, but not mine. I will figure something out.
