Suspension Workshop/info Night At Heasmans - Bilstein In Sydney

[Beer Baron]

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.

[nuffsaid]

Count me in!

[Beer Baron]

good stuff. it will be a great night to learn something about of the most important aspects of car tuning.

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.

[Abo Bob]

I'll be there.

[skylinegtts]

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

[KIRUSS]

i am interested too...

[silver gts-t]

i'm down

[Beer Baron]

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.

[LOOF]

I'll be there depending on the day

[Victory]

Count me in.

[GoldZilla]

I'd like to come as well, and will confirm once the date is set.

[Liz]

I'm interested.

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.
