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 ;)

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
