A full set of R34 GTS-T HKS Hipermax II coilovers,

Spring Rates: F:7 / R:5

Condition: Used, no leaks or knocks, good working condition, came out of a R34 GTS-T (unsure what other models they will fit)

Located in Adelaide, inspection welcome.

$900

About Them:

The HKS Hipermax II coilover kits provide the ultimate in suspension tuning with 30-way dampening, threaded dual-chambered shock assemblies and perches for height adjustment. The design of the upper Pillowball mounts delivers improved steering response and tempered springs are included.

Tuning your vehicle’s suspension is one of the easiest ways to instantly improve overall performance. The HKS Hipermax II suspension, which offers both ride height and shock dampening adjustments, provides improved handling characteristics while maintaining your vehicle’s ride comfort. Ride height is adjusted by simply rotating the 60mm spring retainer perches around the chromed steel shock body. The dual interlocking spring retainer perches prevent spring movement and unwanted ride height changes. Dampening can be adjusted at 30 settings (20 on some applications) to deliver the desired shock compression and rebound stiffness for custom tailored driving characteristics. The included anodized aluminium upper Pillowball mounts retain spring placement and improve steering response and maintains suspension geometry. Additionally, some applications offer camber adjustments on the upper Pillowball mounts. Each HKS Hipermax II suspension system comes with all the needed adjustment wrenches, stiffness adjusting knobs, and miscellaneous hardware for complete installation and tuning.

Features:

* Chromed Steel shock body assembly with precision-cut threads

* Shortened cylinder body and piston stroke

* Single tube structure with large free piston

* Single tube structure with low-pressure nitrogen gas

* Dual oil and gas chambers

* Anodized aluminium Pillowball upper mounts

* Anodized aluminium spring perches

* Dual rate progressive coil springs

* Fully rebuildable

More Information:

- Single tube structure with inside base valve delivers sport performance and comfort ride. Damping force of HIPERMAX II is adjustable by 30 steps for various situations.

- HKS developed special oil for the damper series. The viscosity is not affected by oil temperature. Thus, the damper keeps on performing during continuous hard driving.

- Newly designed piston delivers quick response.

- The oil gallery for the piston was newly designed for ideal oil flow. As the valve response is quick, it achieves stable damping force from low piston speed.

- New designed oil gallery of base valve controls inside pressure for road holding at low piston speed.

- The structure of the oil gallery in the base valve was improved. Diameter of the cavity is optimised to ensure proper inside oil pressure to prevent cavitation. Due to the new design, it can still be a comfortable ride with high road holding performance even at low damper stroke speed.

- Free Piston divides oil and gas area. Oil and low pressure gas are completely divided by free piston. Thus, response of damping force is quick and stable.

- Low pressure gas area in the bottom part of the cylinder eliminates uncomfortable bumpy ride at low car speed.

Apologies for digging up an old thread - but I'm trying to adjust a rear set of these and can't get my head around the setup :S

I had my car lowered at the shop, but I think they've gone too far on rear left as it's clunking around a bit. I wanted to raise the rear slightly (lengthen the shock) so it's not too short.

It states "Ride height is adjusted by simply rotating the 60mm spring retainer perches around the chromed steel shock body",however in my mind, this action would simply preload the spring?

I tried winding up the 60mm rings about 15mm but it didn't seem to have any affect on the clunking, so I assume it either preloaded the spring (not lengthen the shock as intended) or it's another issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like they are knocking. If so you need to get them rebuilt.

the way to adjust em is to unbolt the whole coilover

the bottom of the coil over should move

screw it up or down (the bottom of the coilover) depends what u wanna do raise or lower and ur done

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
