Just another suspension problem but posting it here as i'm looking for somewhere in Vic (preferably Melb west) to get HKS Hypermax-II coilovers rebuilt. The front ones are starting to weep oil and one is making the dreaded knocking sound over small bumps. :P

I've done the usual searches but there's nothing about getting them rebuilt locally.

Does anyone know of any places around here and a rough cost?

not that it helps too much but i was told that the only place that fixes aftermarket suspension in Aust is a place in Qld

I think this is the place you're talking about:

I found it in a search earlier but was trying to look for a similar place locally to save on delivery times and stuffing around. If the one mentioned in Thomastown doesn't do me any good then might be safest to go with the QLD one as the post said they were only $150 each to rebuld which isn't too bad considering what a replacement would cost.

Pedders fix JIC's so maybe a trip to those MOFO's would be worth a shot?

Aparently they can rebuid the valving to suit aussie conditions too.....

Granted I agree their off the shelf stuff is utter crap comapred to good jap adjustables IE your gear, but spend money there and youll get a good product

my 2 cents if its worth anything. Failing that speak to quadrant in Berwick, they are good blokes and deal in bilstein suspension, might be able to help or direct you

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
