 yeah, but an exceptional one:D Is that Gavin Wood at Labrador? I've heard just recently he's the man for skyline servicing in SE Queensland.

$1500 bucks for all the parts:rolleyes: from what I could find that's enough to cover the box only!!!

Yeah. We've been to him 3 times now. All for different problems. One being the HICAS. Its fixed now but something else is wrong (which wasn't his fault) and we've had it serviced by him too. Can't complain about anything. Cept the Boost gauge we got put in stopped working but thats only cause the line crimped behind the face of the gauge.

He's not too expensive either.

Well I'm Gary,

Most of you will remember as Gary from the old SDU forums. I have since sold my 33 gtst.....(sob sob) and am soon expecting my new 260 RS Stagea, and boy am I looking forward to that day... I live on the Western side of Brisbane and enjoy going for "spirited" drives through the mountains... Now that the new forums are up and running I will speak to you guys more often. I guess I will see you all later at some time.

Cheers

Gary

Just an update, for anyone who cares... I finally got my dirty little hands on an R33 GTS25t over the weekend. It's sitting in Osaka at the moment, but should be in Bris on the 5th of August and in my dirty little hands about two weeks after that.

Car: Don't ask what I drive now, but just had a loan approved, so I'm about to hunt down an R33.

Occupation: Sysadmin (professional geek) at the same place as Squizz.

No doubt will meet some/all of you when I finally get the new car.

 Hi Sciby.... you still with OCAU?

 

Hey Jay,

Yup, still doing the OCAU thing, but I haven't done news posts for ages. Typing all that out gets very boring after a while. I mainly write articles now, but I still administrate the forums and irc channel as well.

Was rather surprised to be recognised on here via OCAU. :(

Well the car has to be complied as standard.....(bugger)...

Mine is to get upgraded turbo's, new computer, exhaust, 18 (maybe 19) inch wheels, and dropped on it's guts. I'm also thinking of stroking the RB26 up to a 3 litre:D Then it should produce around 500 horses at all wheels. I'm also doing a bit of a body modification, but I'm keeping that secret at the moment.

What I want is, evryone to think WTF!!!

Be patient and all will see the unleashed beast.

Cheers

Gary

As much as I'd love a 34 GTR, there's just something about a super fast WAGON that I can totally dig. Imagine some wanker in his V8 Ute thinking he's king of the world, next thing this big arse wagon with huge wheels pulls up next to it and looks over. Then bang, what ute ?

I'm sure that's what you're thinking aren't you gary :uh-huh:

    • 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
