hey guys, moved up here for work a few months ago, wanting to get involved in the import scene up here, but dont know how big it is, i come from Victoria and post on the www.supraforums.com.au and have been on there for a long time, but the NT section seems very dead (nobody has posted for like 2 months) so i thought id jump on here and have a look. Car should be up here in a few weeks, (getting some upgrades) and was just wondering what good workshops there are, and how many events Hidden Valley has etc, and if theres many supras up here (ive seen about 5). Ive seen a few gtr's up here actually, but yeah thought id post and get involved!

welcome to SAU dude. you should have stayed in victoria and come with us to our cruises/meets! Anyway, love to see pics of the supra - always a fan of them (was going to get an NA, but after driving a gtst, couldnt go back - and twin turbos were way too exy at the time).

if onyl supras were AWD

arent u driving a FWD celica?

u do realise this is a skyline forum and not a supra forum...?

shouldnt matter dude - its a car forum none the less. Many people on here that dont drive skylines, but drive evos, wrx's, rx's, one even driving an alfa - dont see why this fella should be singled out as a non supra driver....ya dig?

my bad.. didnt even see the supraforum.com part hahah but i am blind :P

welcome to SAU and hopefully u see more ppl post on ur thread :P

cheers mate lol no hard feelings!

yeah ill get some photos up soonish hopefully, might wait because im getting it resprayed soon....

so howz the import scene up here etc? does hidden valley hold many events? are many gathering/cruise nights organised? cannot wait to get back into it!

Welcome aboard mate. seems like darwin is sleeping hey!!

at least I'm a little closer..lol.

I think most darwin guys use boostcruisin so maybe check out there.

from what I know Hidden valley has a few events, no idea on details though..

Hey there mate. Welcome to Darwin. Which supra is yours. You would have no problems getting a supra cruise going up here as there is shit load of them. Some highly modded some not. When i say highly modded i only mean 400rwhp. Would be good to catch up for a cruise but at posted alot of people up here use Boostcruising.

u do realise this is a skyline forum and not a supra forum...?

Who cares. He is a car enthusiest and that is welcome

cheers mate lol no hard feelings!

Hidden valley hold quite a few events although it is just quieting down now. There is one more meet at the track for drifint and a fun day. That is on the 30th of this month. There is however a motorkhana event on next weekend the 22nd there 30 bucks entry and one of the bet days i have had was the last one. Great fun and very friendly people. Hope to see you there.

Cheers BJ

Is your supra the white one with the KAZ motorsport stickers on it. If so looks bloody nice. Spotted it on the way to dropping my skyline at High Tech Tuning for the computer install

hey mate, na mine isnt up here yet should be up here in about a months time, going down to melbourne for a few weeks holidays.

does hiddenvalley have a website or anything? because i found one site for it but its for drag racing only, anyone know where i can get a program for next year? and where can i get more details for the events on the 22nd and the 30th?

cheers!

i sure do drive a celica. toyota power.

i was just saying, supra should have been AWD, i love the supra, so sexy, but would prefer a gtr because of AWD.

i don't drive a skyline, but will be in the market for one one day, plus, there is always something interesting to read on here.

it's a pretty active forum.

Psssst AWD sucks ass. RWD is so much fun. Well unless you have AWD with the power of RBNT wagon. Then AWD is fun but for a everyday streeter the Supra rocks.

depends wat ur into i have always owned fwd i like handling better than goin side ways, but im buying a s13 silvia so ill c how i like the rwd but im not into drifting to much stuff to hit and loose as one of my mate found out the other day

    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • 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
