Guys,

Following up off this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Cr...ip-t246995.html

I need an engineer to go inspect my engine and give me a clear report as to its failure. The engine has seen low km's and fairly easy driving (compared to what it was built for) and is now blaming the main-bearing failure/crank whip on detonation and lean mixtures which is complete BS.

He'll need to be able to go to the mechanics shop in castle hill so if he is local it would be loads of help.

Thanks guys,

Joe

Speak to the guys at Auto Sport ( 02 9521 1388 ) in Kirrawee they have an engineer that comes down from Canberra once a week ( I believe its Friday) to do their engineer certificates on modified cars, he might be able to look after your request too?

sorry mate, im not releasing the name of the workshop. i dont think it would be very fair to do so either considering that we don't officially know the cause of the failure.

Im going to try organise the engineer that was recommended to go out and make an inspection.

  • 2 weeks later...
I've organised another Engineer to go out and do a full inspection for next Wednesday @ 10:30am so hopefully we will finally have a definite answer to its failure.

what ended up happening to your engine...any news?

    • 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
