heasman's done a good job on my car adj my handeling pack and replacing a wheel stud.But,their hourly rate sucks.I was charged $80.00 an hour it ended up coming to just under $400 dollars.

They were working on some serious race cars when i was there.

But i have no complaints about the quality of the workmanship.And i have never heard of anyone coming from there haveing a complaint about them.I hear allot of complaints about the workmanship of pedders though.

M2C....

Not surprised. Bilstein make some of the nicest suspension components around. If I didn't want the in-cabin adjustability of Tein coilovers, I'd probably save my pennies and get a Bilstein kit.

Pedders is like the kebab shop of the suspension world. You only go there if you're desperate and not quite right in the head, and you're sure to feel nauseous and regretful afterwards.

Hey all,

I work in the motorsport department of Bilstein Australia and we are located in the same building as Heasmans Steering.

The guys in the workshop do really good work, and its rare that we have customers come back unsatified. Generally they come back with more work as they were happy with the service they recieved last time.

Admitedly, sometimes the wrok can be a little slow due to the high number of cars coming through the shop. However i think this reflects on the number of satisfied customers and the aim to get each job done right.

Also dont forget that there is the motrosport division on sight who are more than happy to speak with you about shock rates, wheel alignment and general suspension settings. We also modify, revalve and service Bilsteins on site and can perform corner weighting on site.

Feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions...

Also, i drive a 200sx and am a member of the Nissan sports car club, so i have an interest in performance Nissans.

Cheers,

Jono

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
