Just another suspension problem but posting it here as i'm looking for somewhere in Vic (preferably Melb west) to get HKS Hypermax-II coilovers rebuilt. The front ones are starting to weep oil and one is making the dreaded knocking sound over small bumps. :P

I've done the usual searches but there's nothing about getting them rebuilt locally.

Does anyone know of any places around here and a rough cost?

not that it helps too much but i was told that the only place that fixes aftermarket suspension in Aust is a place in Qld

I think this is the place you're talking about:

I found it in a search earlier but was trying to look for a similar place locally to save on delivery times and stuffing around. If the one mentioned in Thomastown doesn't do me any good then might be safest to go with the QLD one as the post said they were only $150 each to rebuld which isn't too bad considering what a replacement would cost.

Pedders fix JIC's so maybe a trip to those MOFO's would be worth a shot?

Aparently they can rebuid the valving to suit aussie conditions too.....

Granted I agree their off the shelf stuff is utter crap comapred to good jap adjustables IE your gear, but spend money there and youll get a good product

my 2 cents if its worth anything. Failing that speak to quadrant in Berwick, they are good blokes and deal in bilstein suspension, might be able to help or direct you

cheers Jez

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
