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

cheers Jez

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
