Is there anywhere in Perth that can put shock absorbers on a dyno to get a read out?

Wilkinson? WA Suspension?

How much do they cost for a set of 4 and what do you get?

What sort of shock do you have?

There is no point, for example taking your Bilsteins to WA Suspensions as they don't deal with them.

Cost?

Don't know.

What do you get?

A graph. Which will be useless to you if you don't know how to read it or what you want.

I was thinking, the idea was I would have the graph so I can learn to read it,

gotta start somewhere right?

Been reading this article it has some valid points:

http://farnorthracing.com/autocross_secrets6.html

Since its just a dyno run, does it really matter what kind of shock I have?

I just want to know what the adjuster knob is doing, not looking to get the shock rebuilt.

I wonder why I didnt think of calling them ahahhaha :D

Guess I was after recommendations more than anything

Slighty incorrect. We at WA Suspensions do deal with Bilstein.

We do have the shock dyno which we would be happy to dyno, and give you graph of the result. What sort of information are you trying to get? Maybe another way?

I am in Darwin until the 9th of july. If you want, you are more than welcome to give me a call, or in the mean time PM me and ill respond when i can.

Cheers

Brad

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
