Hi Guys,

I recently had these HKS coilovers removed from my R33 GTR due to an upgrade. They are excellent coilovers and in great condition - never been in an accident, no leaks and rubber boots are like new. They were capable enough to keep the R stuck to the road for a 1:49 lap of Phillip Island. As they were on the car when I bought it I can't give an accurate km's of use but I'd put an educated guess at the 20,000 mark.

$1,000

(would prefer Melb pickup due to size but if you are willing to pay postage am happy to send interstate)

I also have a Whiteline KCA347 R33/R34 GTR rear camber kit (upper control arm) with +/- 0.75deg of adjustment as seen here:

Whiteline Site

Brand new, never opened and selling due to a change in suspension approach.

any knocking or leaks on coilovers or anything like that? how do they feel on the australian roads?

My car is basically a weekend toy and even then I don't get to drive it every weekend. When not driven the car sits on concrete and this can be for a couple of weeks. Considering there has been no oil puddle under the shocks plus the fact I gave them a good once over when removed from the car, there is def no oil leak. As for any knocking, when my car does get used it usually involves a few bumps (like track ripples lol) and I have never heard them knock on the road or track.

As for the feel....well we aren't talking about stock suspension here but they aren't rock hard jap shocks either. I'm no suspension expert but it felt like they absorbed what aussie roads threw at them without the tyre leaving the ground or the bounce afterward.

I am happy for anyone to come have a look at them if they wish.

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
