haha mum dad i just broke up with my ex, too sad thinkin about how i use to drive her around in it , wanna get a new car something that would get my mind off it:) n then cha ching along came ma skyline

I just showed my mum the car I was gonna get & she says she likes the look of it, especially the tail lights.

As for the engine being turbo... well all she knew was that the car had a engine... like all cars are suppose to have... :ermm:

Well since I'm old enough to get stuff without asking permission, I left home in the morning in my Pulsar and came back in my GTR. My dad was outside at the time, looks at me and walks inside. He wasn't very impressed.

However the R was kicked out of the garage as they didn't appreciate their cars having to go outside because of my car, so now I don't store it at home which is good as doesn't give me temptations to drive it when I really shouldn't be driving it.

My mum had been saying since I was 10 that I wasn't allowed to get a turbo or V8 so when they went to queensland when I was early 18y/o I got a skyline and it was sitting in the driveway when they got home. I suppose I really didn't convince them :D

I'm about to buy one and Dad said "why don't u get an excel, or an accent like all ur other girlfriends" I laughed and said "Daddy you always told me not be like everyone else, and I'll let you take it for a spin" and then he grunted and mumbeld something like "I knew you were meant to be a bloke"

Skim reading through these post, I gotta say most of your mums/dads knows their stuff (well at least more than my folks).

My mum don't have a clue of what a turbo is nor does she care (she is the "its got a engine & 4 wheels, its a car" type of person), & my dad always thought that turbos are meant to give you better fuel efficiency... so if you throw a turbo to a jazz, you will decrease its fuel usage from ~6L/100km to like 5L/100km :P

Don't know where he got that info from...

LOL...

My dad convinced my mum to let me get the Skyline. Dad had a 260Z Datsun, so my old man was keen.

I was at hospital at the time, it was the only turbo, manual sedan at Autoworx. I'd just had my shoulder operation and was up to my eyeballs on morphine. Anyway, mum & dad come to visit me, we had organised for them to test drive it the day I went under the knife, so I asked them what they thought, dad said "Oh yeah... It is really nice, I like it, it is a very safe car (ie; much safer than Vl commonwhore)", then my mum said "But it has too many horses, I'm worried about you having that much power".. I sighed, put on a sad look and pleaded my case...

When I got discharged dad drove to autoworx to pick it up, I was a happy as larry.

So moral of the story is...

Get an operation, and play the guilt trip, pay later! ;)

    • 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
