Is there anywhere in Perth that can put shock absorbers on a dyno to get a read out?

Wilkinson? WA Suspension?

How much do they cost for a set of 4 and what do you get?

What sort of shock do you have?

There is no point, for example taking your Bilsteins to WA Suspensions as they don't deal with them.

Cost?

Don't know.

What do you get?

A graph. Which will be useless to you if you don't know how to read it or what you want.

I was thinking, the idea was I would have the graph so I can learn to read it,

gotta start somewhere right?

Been reading this article it has some valid points:

http://farnorthracing.com/autocross_secrets6.html

Since its just a dyno run, does it really matter what kind of shock I have?

I just want to know what the adjuster knob is doing, not looking to get the shock rebuilt.

I wonder why I didnt think of calling them ahahhaha :D

Guess I was after recommendations more than anything

Slighty incorrect. We at WA Suspensions do deal with Bilstein.

We do have the shock dyno which we would be happy to dyno, and give you graph of the result. What sort of information are you trying to get? Maybe another way?

I am in Darwin until the 9th of july. If you want, you are more than welcome to give me a call, or in the mean time PM me and ill respond when i can.

Cheers

Brad

    • No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.
    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 馃槢 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
    • This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
