heh, im working tonight, bah.

tomorrows an actual day off, which is pretty sweet, havent had one in a while :rolleyes:

oh, anyone know toyotas? im looking at buying a UZ soarer (the price is right and im in desperate need of a car that isnt shit), but the front airbags have recently start leaking, anyone know how much they are to replace?

Soarers are pretty expensive to fix I hear, parts availability being the main issue, but with any twin turbo car thats the case...

lucky im not buying a JZ...

Have heard that airbags are anywhere up to $1000 a corner ($4k full car) So be VERY weary of that. Ring Lexus and ask how much to replace the airbag on the LS400 (same car) to get an accurate idea.

yeah, i was afraid of that, i was thinking about $700-$1000 a corner.

might have a look at some aftermarket equivalents also, see if theyre any cheaper.

but then, for the price of the car, even if i replaced all 4 airbags itd still be well under the usual purchase price of the car.

The coil packs are in and car is back up and running better than ever.

Highly recommend changing coil packs to split fires as it made a massive difference to my car.

Now it is in get the front bar fitted ready for auto salon.

Hmm nice...

Cause I have a mis fire issue at the moment in the GTR so might be upgrading the coil packs to splitfires and they are good!

Did you have a mis fire shaun? or just upgraded for the hell of it?

not at all, just the soarers come up for the right price, and im sick of driving a car where almost nothing works the way it should.

Phew!!!

Yeah it does come down to price doesnt it...well I hope it all goes well ;)

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
