Hey guys,

Has anyone got thier suspension shocks reconditioned in Perth?

I've got Nismo S-Tune Coilovers and they've started knocking in the rear lately, thinking they possibly need to be rebuilt?

If you've had it done what sort of prices am I looking at?

Cheers,

-Kym

Looking at getting my JIC coilovers rebuilt by Xspeed...they said about $760 per end (about $1500 for all 4) so I guess they could do your Nismo's too.

If you find anywhere else that is cheaper let me know :P

Ouch!! That's expensive. I sent the coilovers from my GTR (Toda Fightex) to Wilkinson's, they were pretty shagged out, got them back 2 weeks later and my bill was only $860 for all 4.

My Ohlins shocks have just given up the ghost in the rear, So I bought genuine GTR shocks and springs for $200 for the pair swapped them over in like 20 minutes yesterday.... Ride is a lot softer in the rear, Now looking to get the rear two shocks resealed. So now looking for someone to reseal them.Wilkinson's could be a green light, but I will shop around.

Its really only my rears that are stuffed like Mike_R32_GTR's...rear bounces down the road like an old yank tank :D

Wilkinson's are in beechboro, but they have really long hours. I dropped mine off at like 7:15am and they were open, and i think they're open until 6pm or thereabouts at night.

Yeah I can't complain, they are an awesome set of coilovers though, full aluminium struts, these babies were designed for the track not the street lol but they are great. They felt awful when they were leaking, and the car handled like absolute s**t. My rears were the main problem, but as so much on the car had needed fixing / replacing I decided to get all 4 done so I didn't have to worry about them.

I had a little issue that was fixed by wilko's for free, they honoured the job as the shocks had been rebuilt only 3 months prior, one of the coilovers started leaking, the fault had nothing to do with wilkinson's, but I think whoever rebuilt them in the east may not have aligned something perfectly, or something little like that. I dropped it off and it was ready to be picked up 3 days later, can't complain about that!!

No problems in any other respect, and the coilover that was sent back again has been a charm ever since. I would definately recommend wilkinson's, their service was excellent and I found them to be very helpful :blink:

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
