Laurel C31 parts, please help me out!

[Jelmer Laurel C31]

Hello Datsun enthausiasts!

I'm Jelmer from the Netherlands, Europe. I have a 1984 Patrol/Safari 160 and a 1983 Laurel C31. I just bought the Laurel and it has some damage on the RHS. The bumper, headlight and wing/fender are damaged. I found a NOS bumper and a used headlight in Holland but no luck on a wing/fender. Laurels are very rare in Europe, especialy the C31. Most of them got exported to Africa when their first owner traded them in or the rusted away.

So I started looking overhere because you guys also got Laurels back in the day, I wonder why Australia never got them. Probably because they already had the Skyline.

So can anybody help me out? Are the wings/fenders from the hardtop the same?

Hi Jelmer, I don't have any parts but one of the places to look for stuff over here is http://www.trademe.co.nz" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; which I think currently has a couple of C31's being parted out - hopefully they have what you need, but postage could be an issue especially with a guard. Heres a couple of links below.

Thanks for the answer! I already keep an eye on Trademe but you can't register as a non Newzealander or Aussie.
But I have a lead on a guard in Belgium! And there is a new LHD headlight on Ebay.

If you find one in NZ use the NZpost website to calculate shipping by rough sizes of your own one.

I only have C32 exterior bits and had a c31 hardtop i wrecked out which is the second listing someone put up haha.

Ill keep an eye and ear out for anything.

Brocky41, I've send you a PM.

Hello Brocky41, Jelmer told me about his post here and the parts you mentioned.

I am desperately looking for RH doors (glass especially) and possibly LH doors and a bootlid for my C31 Medalist Hardtop Turbo.

Would you be willing to sell to a Dutch guy (TradeMe doesn't let me...)?

Kind regards
Iwan

[Jelmer Laurel C31]

Awesome that you are willing to help out. btw. I think Jelmer is in love with that Grille and wants it.

Yes! I really like the extra chrome on the JDM C31's! So I would like the moulding around the headlights too...
