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 ;)

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
