How about:
*some side on shots of the actual arm?
*centre to centre measurements of the mortice holes and also the mounting holes?
*total length measurement?
*diameter, thickness and total height of the disc rotor that's on the strut (to cross reference it with the DBA parts catalogue so at least you have a smaller range of possibilities)?
Like Norbie said, it could be from anything.

Are these local?
The 114.3 x 4 PCD narrows it down - has to be RWD car with a front strut. Locally delivered options include Corolla, Cressida, Celica and Corona. Some Sprinters also had vented discs. Local RWD Corollas and Coronas never had ventilated discs so rule them out. Leaves you with the 60 series Celica and 60/70 series Cressidas. However 10" is too inaccurate a number for a diameter, nothing in the Toyota RWD cars had a 23mm thick disc and you didn't supply a rotor height so you can't proceed any further.
I suggest you get a very accurate measurement of the rotor diameter (10" is too vague - you want a mm figure) and total rotor height and scan thru the DBA catalogue under Toyota to find a match here (assuming these struts came off something that was here in Australia).

yeah i noticed taht from the DBA catalogue... therefore what i did is measure the circumference and divide by Pie and got 248mm, it is a 22mm thick disk vented and total thickness is 40mm
from this and the DBA catalogue i got it being a TOYOTA CRESSIDA MX73 (8/84-8/88)... that makes it:
- a vented disk
- 248mm in diameter
- 40mm in original height
- 22mm original thickness
- 21mm min thickness
- 76mm centre hole
- with 4 bolt holes
does this sound and look right? can anyone with an MX73 or has worked on one confirm this for me?
thanks again for the help guys

yep (by process of elimination tho)
vented disc ruled out all models except #A60/65 and MX73.
mac strut rules out the hiluxes, MA70 and mk2 coronas
4 stud rules out the MX83
DBA confirms disc sizes.
not much more we can say unless u wanna scour for pics (try CrUZida's members ride thread)

They look a lot like MX73 (mine even has that yellow spray patch on it, dunno what its there for though).
But MX73 discs are 248x22.
Are your measurements off?
Hub looks identical to MX73 though.
Perfect hub/strut to upgrade to Z32 brakes!
