I've already explained what happened sooooo many times today, but here goes again:

A bunch of us were cruising along Warringah Rd in Forestville when some absolute champion that none of us knew in a heavily modified S13 joined the group.

I was in the right hand lane merging into the centre lane as he flew from the left hand lane, wastegate open & screaming into the centre lane, he realised he was about to rear-end me, he swerved left, hit the gutter & came straight back into my car (which I had already moved back into the right hand lane) pushing me up onto the median strip where i came to a halt.

The Silvia driver suggested we exchange details & not involve the police in the matter.....I was like 'WTF?'

We called the cops as he called a towie & loaded his car up in an unsuccessful attempt to leave before the police arrived.

I guess there's more to tell, but I'm pretty damn sick of thinking about it right now as this whole week has been absolute shit and then my car gets totaled to top it off......

Anyone else who was at the scene can add any other details i may have omitted in my now semi-conscious state (I didn't get much sleep last night).

WTF ??? Dave , sorry to hear man - I travel that way all the time - that blows big time. Do you know if the S13 was a local ?? If you don't mind, PM me the plates of the S13.

Hope it works out OK 4 u !

Cheers,

I couldnt not believe the driving of the "champion" in the silvia, being in the unfortunate position of watching the entire thing from the back was extremely bloody scary. We should all be thankful that Dave is ok and more to the point that nobody was hurt and no other cars damaged in the incident.

There is no excuse for the driving of that idiot.

AKTUNG indeed

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all
