Suspension Workshop/info Night At Heasmans - Bilstein In Sydney


Recommended Posts

This is a technical workshop and information session at Heasmans suspension in Sydney. It will cover a wide range of stuff including, shock absobers, springs, set-up, wheel allignment, corner weighting, track set-up and more. Heasmans are one of the best known suspension workshops in Sydney and are the NSW Bilstein distributors. They also provide track support in many catagories of racing and even have a mobile shock rebuilding and revalving set-up for rebuilding shocks at the track. In their workshop they provide everything from wheel allignments, to component fitting, shock rebuilding and sales, even corner weighting and shock dyno testing. and they have a huge wealth of experience with skylines and all types of performance and track oriented cars.

This event will be FREE for SAU NSW Club members. So if you are a non-member I highly suggest you join and reap the reward of being a SAU NSW financial member instantly!

The address is as follows: Heasman Steering, 455-463 Princes Highway (cnr Railway Road) Sydenham.

The dates has been confirmed with Bilstein.

Tuesday 24th April starting at 7pm (arrive between 6:30 and 7:00pm if possible). It is expected to finish before 10pm

I can also confirm this will involve a tour of all their good gear including the shock dyno room and mobile shock centre (race truck). There will also be a special guest coming. He has lots of experience in race car preperation and set-up and is a fountain of information on suspension set-up, particularly with skylines. So I would say this is an even not to be missed!

Please post your interest here, and if you are interested, but are not a SAU NSW member then I suggest you get your form and membership fee and start enjoying some of the benefits. ;)

Could I ask someone to ask a question, by proxy if you will.

Japanese suppliers quote the following part number Bils-BPS-8641-268 for an all singing, all dancing set of Bilstein coilovers with adjustable damping to suit an R32 GT-R. Yet my local Bilstein distributor denies that such a thing exists. On the assumption that Heasmans are more competent could I trouble someone to ask the question?

they certainly sound good. mono-tube, 42mm and 50mm pistons. I would say the difference is that they are made in japan, where as the bilsteins we get here are not. I will ask for you though.

Thanks Baron, that champion. :iluvff: If they do have 'em could you ask what the spring rates are?

good stuff. now we are getting somewhere!

It's nice that we can organise this stuff for the club as events like this cost us nothing (except time to organise) and should be very helpful in learning about car set-up and also help give us a good relationship with bilstein/heasmans.

Can one attand with no prior experience? Or is this mainly for proper mechanics?

I mean, I change my own oil, but I never removed the rb25 crossover pipe to get to the spark-plugs or coilpacks. I have changed my gearbox oil and filled it via removing the gear knob, but I'm not gonna change my own clutch.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
