Hi i have Kei Office front coilovers and HKS Hyper D Coilovers on the rear and one of the rear coilovers has

started leaking oil.

I have taken them off the car and replaced them with originals for now.

Question who and where in australia can i get them REBUILT or is there a couple of kits that i can buy and do it myself.

I know i can go buy new ones but i dont want to stuff around setting the car back up as the car handles like it is on rails and i have gotten used to it and i dont want to go through the spring choices again as it took me a while and spring changes to get it to handle like it does and i dont really want to change it.

i had the same prob with two of my coilovers leaking, i did buy brand new teins last week (aussie spec super street) but the cheapy coilovers i had were the g4(the just jap ones) and for 6 years - bout 130000km. to rebuild them was quoted 300 - 350 per corner. i live in campbelltown nsw and would of had to ttaken them to brookvale - k sport. figured id spend a little more this time and now i can have these rebuilt just about anywhere when they shit themselves in another 6 years time.

oh yeah my car is a 32gtst

300-350 per corner is in the ball park. cheaper to buy a new set!

U cant get seal kits from HKS, u need to send them to an authorized HKS repairer.

If u were to do it yourself you still have the problem of getting them regased, no one will pressurize them if they havnt worked on them

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
