How's things. Did your video turn out allright from the autosalon?

Anyway I have had my bar done. It was through SAS paint and panel down winfield way. He done a great job. The guy at SAS his name escapes me now Mario I think has a mate who actually does the welding. Cost about $100 for welding and a bit over $300 for Mario to finish and paint it. I will try and send you a picture. I had the car at the last cruise and unfortunately will probably miss the next cruise due to being away.

Greg.

Ok the boost controller isn't actually in yet as i'm at the moment typing with black hands and doing my rear brakes :)

Anyway yes I did consider the AVCR but i've been told by to many people/tuners that it is a piece of crap.

Apparently you think you get it setup right and then it goes out and you have to fiddle with it again.

Whereas the Blitz apparently you set and forget the apexi avcr isn't like that.

With the Blitz SBC-iD it is a duel solanoid boost controller that has the usual fuzzy logic and manual/auto modes, scramble etc..

It also has an addon which is called the Power-iD I think which this is the part I liked. :) you can set boost to certian speeds i.e 0-60 12psi then 60-100 15psi then 100+ 100psi :)

Anyway you get the idea. It also tells you estimated horsepower/kw, 0-100 dash 1/4 etc it also has graphs of boost from down low to up top etc..

its got a record function etc..

anway it is around the $1045 mark bran new then I think it costs around $50 to get it over here.

BUT you can buy one here but every 1 says they are $1600 or more.

OR.. You can buy them from where I also get the PowerFC's for ~$900.

The Boost levels at different speeds is what i want as on std boost there is no where near as much wheel spin in first but it is controllable.

Yeah the blitz ones are supposed to be the best at controlling boost. I was going to get a dual sbc but then I got my turbo and will have an external gate, so I will set it and forget. John with the gtrs is trying to sell one, while they dont ahve all the fancy functions they give accurate boost control.

Boosted32, can you give me the details of the place where you got your front bumper painted?

Also, I need to cut a hole on the bumper cause at the moment air isn't going through properly, the vents are blocked by you know how the standard bumper has all those lines....does anyone know where I can get this done?

Just see what prices they can do... I got it done a while ago and we did some of the preparation ourself so it was cheaper.

    • 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
