well i was just checking out my front bar today and had a look in the front vent at my BOV and found that one of them is full of oil? is this normal it probably has never been cleaned since it was put on but should they have oil comming out of them? thanks.

If your motor breathing a little bit... its going into the intake from the turbo and then into the pipes.

When you release, easiest plave for the oil to go it out the hole ;)

Over a long time i guess it would add up.

Although that is a bit!

Could be fixed by getting a catch-can... if not then start looking for motor test - compression/leak-down

that is not a good sign. Possibly the reason it's only coming out of one is that the other one isn't working?

there really shouldn't be that much oil in your intake pipes.

hmm well thanks guys, i dont know wheather to be greatful or scream in anger, ill deffinatly see if i can get em off tommorow and give em a clean and hopefull they stay clean, there is certainly no probem with the car at the moment it is pulling and boosting fine so hopefully its just some excess oil from some where :( ????????????

    • 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
