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

    • 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.
