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 thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
