Hey guys here is my new car, a 1988 NIssan Gloria/Cima (laurel was the closest option). I swapped my pulsar sedan for this about a month ago and after a few compliance issues it's finally on the road : D
It is in pretty good condition for a 24 year old car with 128,000kms and probably has more features then a modern mercedes. Electric reclining and heated rear seats, electric folding mirrors with wipers, floating steering wheel, cigarette lighters in each rear door and radio/air cond controlls in centre console to name a few. It also has genuine IMPUL rear skirts and front lip (which is currently off because it's cracked) and has previously had the spoiler but was removed before I bought it. Plans are to keep it as is for a while as a cruiser until I find some 5 stud old school wheels like the solids in the pic or similar. Then maybe a full set of coilovers and manual conversion in the future. For now it does fine and goes alright considering I just come off my P's. Let me know what you think : )

    So i got myself a set of 14 inch centrelines. The ones in the pics are my mates 15's which are perfect but unfortunately they are hard to find so I had to settle with 14's. I still love it though

    14's are cooler.

    yeah lower would be cooler, But then I would have to get rear coilovers and better front ones, and i'm not planning on spending loads of money on it
