Rebuilding Hks Suspension?

Hi guys, the Aussie conditions have taken their toll on my HKS Hypermax II front coilovers and i'm wondering if there's anywhere in Melbourne that rebuild them? Or interstate if need be (saw a post ages ago that said a place in queensland rebuilds them)?

The top oil seals have been leaking from dirt rubbing away in them so they're getting really squelchy (one side more thatn the other) and are pretty much f**ked.

Does anyone know of any places preferably in Melbourne (and western side) that are able to rebuild Jab suspensions to a decent quality? I'd rather not have to shell out for a full new set.

Alternatively, anyone want to sell me some passable stock front suspension for under $100 for in the mean time?

Thanks

Ghost from the past :down:

Give 'TruTrack' a call mate, the guys there might be able to put you on the right path.

Forget their number, but yellow pages should do the trick.

I had a place on Mt Alexander road 'attempt' to rebuild my items a few years back, failed in 6 months, needless to say i wont go there again :ermm:

Zac at TruTrack was real helpful but would still have had to send them away to be done. Thanks for the help mate.

I found a place local though that was able to rebuild them for under a couple of hundred $$$ because the shafts were still in great condition and only needed new seals/oil/gas.

Leslie & Sons Shock Absorders (need to look them up in the white pages) was the place and i haven't had any problems with them yet. They were also able to soften them up a bit which was much needed. At this stage i'd recommend them because there doesn't seem to be any other options in Melbourne and looks like they've done a good job.

Thanks

^^ yeah most of these guys send em north to shocker reco in qld and they are fkn average to say the least had 3 sets done myself and athid a mate of mine had a set done and all have failed 6-12mths down the track.. i bet thats where R31NISMOIDS ended up.

Best bet ive found is to use Motocycle suspension specialists as they actually give a shit and know what they are doing, a bad setup on a bike doesnt annoy you it tends to kill you :rolleyes: they can get shafts hard chromed and titanium nitrated too (anti stiction coating).

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
