Hi all,

Knocking suspension I've had for a while is getting worse. Tied it down to the left hand front. Nearly every time I pull off now I get a clunk clunk sound. Not when I go over bumps or anything just when I pull off. So I read somewhere about the topmounts being loose. Tonight gone to the topmounts of my HKS hypermax and with a spanner tried to tighten or loosen the nut in the centre of the topmount...see pic...what happened was the entire thread turned aswell on both sides with the nut as if it were 1 complete unit. Is this correct ?

Cheers

your probably just adjusting the damper.

check more for a bush that is totally gone, so when you change forces on it it goes from one end of the hole to the other rather than staying where it is supposed to be stuck. probably a lower arm etc.

Well thanks for the replies guys :thumbsup: will have a look at the allen key bolts but am probably just gonna change the topmounts for some cusco ones as long as I get the right ones to fit the hipermax....

Odd question I know but off the top of your heads anyone know the diameter of the springs on HKS hiermax coilovers?

Cheers

    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
