i need to get some coilover reco'd and was hopping someone knew of places on the gold coast or brisbane that can do it for me?

cheers, matt...

Try the Strut Reconditioners in Slacks Creek on (07) 38082455. Mohammed is the new owner. From memory it cost $137.50 inc. GST per strut for a re-gas + re-oil and a general check over. What needs to be done to your coilovers?

not quite shaw yet as i got them from ebay, they are just a test fit thing at the moment, i'll see how they go then replace with brand new matching set and sell off these as a package, suspension/brake upgrade for a r30...

they rebuilt my TEINs.  I would recommend that you take your coilovers to them instead of driving in becos they charged $40 PER side just to remove them from your car :P

I recommend these guys as well... they did mine.. top job.. would also recommend taking them in off the car... cost me 137.5 per corner

W.W. Shockabsorbers Geebung, done alot of work for me in the past. Bit past where you are though and Strut Reconditioners i have heard do a good job also.

I am with you, W.W. shockabsorbers have been around a long time and are worth a look, ever since shockreco changed hands it hasn't been the same, I certainly won't be returning.

If Scotty was still there Id almost think about recomending them.

Anyway, with my 'fun' experiences, Id go buy some new ones. Depending on how bad they are most places wont be able to reco them and keep them being adjustable (if they are). Also, whatever you do, go get a corner balance done as well, and make sure your hights are set correctly, that will make a bigger handleing difference than the shocks themselfs, once again in my experience.

Slightly off topic but if you want your standard suspension converted to coil over then go see the people at TBS at Capalaba. They can also get all of your EBC brake pads and slotted rotors fairly cheap.

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
