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

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
