distant cousin to the later-released R31 Skyline..
A 1984 C32 Nissan Laurel Medalist.
First year for the fifth generation of Laurel, which ran through to 1989.
Not to hard to spot plenty of parts-bin Nissan bits, and even some parts that aren't - its all very similar to the (1986-) R31.
Interesting design-detail there with the square exhaust tip. why not eh?
Unsure of the make/model of wheel, but gives a very Hayashi vibe. the small center is just brilliant..!
The car is actually in fantastic, original condition. other than a few bits (that look to have been on the car for quite some time), its very original.
Inside, the mix of grey and blue are interesting. usually a car in this era would have just had the whole interior done in blue. probably would look really nice with some more flattering photos.
5speed too.
More familiar Nissan buttons/switchgear/plastics in here, but it all ties together.
that headunit is genuinely epic though. double din, full metal face - and a large block of text i'll have to look into further..!
Another part I'd buy for no reason.. i just love it.
The very clean RB20E powering this Laurel.
would have to be the first application of the RB. This particular Laurel is a November '84 build, much earlier than the R31's introduction.
Anyway, rare now, and just a little different to the usual.

Cheers. I actually came across some for sale not long after this, and have seen them fairly regularly since. An often inexpensive, but super stylish wheel!
DeleteI should've come back and updated this post. I'd intended to, but slipped my mind. Damn shameful!
