I think you miss the point.. Throw the Turbo away and see how long the motor last for with regular sevices, I know NA motors now are lasting upward of 500,000km's, but the stock forced versions are hitting the rebuilds under 300,000, and the modded motors sometimes less than 200,000 therefore proportionally shorter life relative to increasing internal forces.

Hope that helps....

Still disagree. Your theory is based on the HUGE ASSUMPTION that the cars were treated/driven equally.

But in at least 99% of the cases a modified car is driven harder and thrashed more often then a std car, so this higher reving, more heat, etc, contributes to the shorter life span. Nothing to do with boost level.

I have seen a few stock rb's go give up the ghost at less than 100k, due to how the car was driven.

Then you got stock engines like Troy's (Roy) with big turbo, injectors, pfc, etc, making 270rwkw, doing track days, motokahanas, drags, etc, that never want to die.

    • 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   
    • LandCruiser used to get a fluid flush every 12 to 18 months.   Only because it was about that often the electric motor on the master for brake assist kept dieing and needing to come off.
