called car tourque in kent town today to ask for a quote but they said they send the stuff to qld!!! but there is apparently some guy from a place called 'fat motorsport' which ive never herd of that does tein coilovers. anyone got a number for this place???

wayne randell calls himself the shock dr does most of the speedway rebuilds and re valving ect ect he is in qld but spedway people ship shocks o him from all over the place .google shock dr and his details will come up

you should find out who they send their stuff too and deal with him directly mate.....cut the middle man out :(

Fat motorsport is a guy that works at pedders on marion rd Marion. I rebuilt my hks coilovers from one of his kits. He had plenty of tein gear. Try ringing pedders at marion.

awesome i live right near that one, thanks man

YEP PEDDERS AS mentioned above, met him personally, @ my mates party, good bloke, knows what hes doing and has some big racin teams that use hime.

Had a bilstein shaft replcaed and while he was at it changed reaction discs and it made the bilstiens even better, for my mates r32 recently.

hey man what do you think of ur tein HA's?? there the first set of coilovers iv owned and took a lil while to get used to the bouncy bumpy ride but now im loving them, got the damper settings on max and it goes prety hard round corners although the back end tends to come out sometimes

Yeah the tein HA's are pretty good, ive had 2 different sets since that post tho LOL (bit of a suspension whore :) )

Theyre really hard on dampers and spring rates are higher then most because the HA were meant for the jap market. Theyre basically exactly the same thing as Tein SS (Super Streets) with harder rates.

hey guys I got the Hipermax HKS coilovers, adjustable and all. As I take off slowly from the light I could hear slow creaking in the back suspension, is that normal for coilovers or are mine on the way out?? Cheers :thumbsup:

Thats pretty much what ive got in mine now HKS Hipermax II D. Theyre a f**ken awesome coilover... thats all i gotta say. With the creaking etc, hks are known to give up earlier than most brand coilovers, theyre built tough but are more bias towards track side of things so street driving can kill them off. With that said, theyre by far the most predictable coilover ive driven on.

Im in a bit of the same boat as you, my rear right is knocking and by the looks of things will be needing a rebuild soon, took it for a drive through hills last night and it seems to be working fine, just knocking. Might be pillow ball related though, haven't checked it out yet.

Anyone know if the pedders guy does hks coilies?

Sorry to dig up an old thread but its relevant.

Does "fat motorsport" still work at Pedders? And if not, does anyone have contact details for him? I would like to price the rebuild of two front HKS coilovers

Just ask for Jarod at pedders on marion rd down sth. He made me up a hks kit and I was able to rebuild them myself. just need a lathe

    • My understanding is that UV tends to accelerate the aging process. If the car has been garaged, then you could probably get away with extending beyond 10 years. FWIW, in 2015, I had tyres on my 180B SSS that had a 3-digit code (2 for week, 1 for decade), ending in 0, so could have been more than 30 years old, but still worked fine. I did replaced them very quickly, though, once I discovered what the code meant!
    • But we haven't even gotten to the point of talking about stateless controllers or any of the good stuff yet!
    • You guys need to take this discussion to another thread if you want to continue it, most of the last 2 pages has nothing to do with OP's questions and situation
    • And this, is just ONE major issue for closed loop control, particularly using PID. One such issue that is created right here, is integrator wind up. But you know GTSBoy, "it's just a simple PID controller"...  
    • Nah. For something like boost control I wouldn't start my design with PID. I'd go with something that originates in the fuzzy logic world and use an emergency function or similar concept. PID can and does work, but at its fundamental level it is not suited to quick action. I'd be reasonably sure that the Profecs et al all transitioned to a fuzzy algorithm back in the 90s. Keep in mind also that where and when I have previously talked about using a Profec, I'm usually talking about only doing an open loop system anyway. All this talk of PID and other algorithms only comes into play when you're talking closed loop boost control, and in the context of what the OP needs and wants, we're probably actually in the realm of open loop anyway. Closed loop boost control has always bothered me, because if you sense the process value (ie the boost measurement that you want to control) in the plenum (after the throttle), then boost control to achieve a target is only desirable at WOT. When you are not WOT, you do not want the the boost to be as high as it can be (ie 100% of target). That's why you do not have the throttle at WO. You're attempting to not go as fast as you can. If the process variable is measured upstream of the throttle (ie in an RB26 plenum, or the cold side pipework in others) then yeah, sure, run the boost controller closed loop to hit a target boost there, and then the throttle does what it is supposed to do. Just for utter clarity.... an old Profec B Spec II (or whatever it is called, and I've got one, and I never look at it, so I can't remember!) and similar might have a MAP sensor, and it might show you the actual boost in the plenum (when the MAP sensor is connected to the plenum) but it does not use that value to decide what it is doing to control the boost, except to control the gating effect (where it stops holding the gate closed on the boost ramp). It's not closed loop at all. Once the gate is released, it's just the solenoid flailing away at whatever duty cycle was configured when it was set up. I'm sure that there are many people who do not understand the above points and wonder wtf is going on.
