you should find out who they send their stuff too and deal with him directly mate.....cut the middle man out :(

Fat motorsport is a guy that works at pedders on marion rd Marion. I rebuilt my hks coilovers from one of his kits. He had plenty of tein gear. Try ringing pedders at marion.

YEP PEDDERS AS mentioned above, met him personally, @ my mates party, good bloke, knows what hes doing and has some big racin teams that use hime.

Had a bilstein shaft replcaed and while he was at it changed reaction discs and it made the bilstiens even better, for my mates r32 recently.

Yeah the tein HA's are pretty good, ive had 2 different sets since that post tho LOL (bit of a suspension whore :) )

Theyre really hard on dampers and spring rates are higher then most because the HA were meant for the jap market. Theyre basically exactly the same thing as Tein SS (Super Streets) with harder rates.

hey guys I got the Hipermax HKS coilovers, adjustable and all. As I take off slowly from the light I could hear slow creaking in the back suspension, is that normal for coilovers or are mine on the way out?? Cheers :thumbsup:

Thats pretty much what ive got in mine now HKS Hipermax II D. Theyre a f**ken awesome coilover... thats all i gotta say. With the creaking etc, hks are known to give up earlier than most brand coilovers, theyre built tough but are more bias towards track side of things so street driving can kill them off. With that said, theyre by far the most predictable coilover ive driven on.

Im in a bit of the same boat as you, my rear right is knocking and by the looks of things will be needing a rebuild soon, took it for a drive through hills last night and it seems to be working fine, just knocking. Might be pillow ball related though, haven't checked it out yet.

Anyone know if the pedders guy does hks coilies?

Sorry to dig up an old thread but its relevant.

Does "fat motorsport" still work at Pedders? And if not, does anyone have contact details for him? I would like to price the rebuild of two front HKS coilovers

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
