'94 R33 Gts25t Coilover Problems

Hi guys I just bought a 2nd hand '94 R33 GTS25T.

Whenever I drive over a speed bump or a pothole, there is a knocking / clunking noise coming from the left rear coil overs.

The coilovers are aftermarket from HKS and I have no idea what model they are. I brought them to a local mechanic and when he lifted the car upon the hoist,

he discovered the dampers were not working at all. Only the spring is working, and there was no damping effect at all. The mechanic told me there was no

more compressed gas in the damper. But he wasn't sure and suggested I buy new ones

My buddy told me I could probably get someone to rebuild the coilovers or re-gas them or something instead of getting new ones.

Could anyone advice me on what to do? And has anyoneele encountered this problem before? And is it really possible to re-gas the coilovers? If it is, does

anyone know a place where I can get it done? I live in Sydney close to the city. It'd be great if anyone knows a garage nearby.

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.

      Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.

      People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion

      Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
