A full set of R34 GTS-T HKS Hipermax II coilovers,

Spring Rates: F:7 / R:5

Condition: Used, no leaks or knocks, good working condition, came out of a R34 GTS-T (unsure what other models they will fit)

Located in Adelaide, inspection welcome.

$900

About Them:

The HKS Hipermax II coilover kits provide the ultimate in suspension tuning with 30-way dampening, threaded dual-chambered shock assemblies and perches for height adjustment. The design of the upper Pillowball mounts delivers improved steering response and tempered springs are included.

Tuning your vehicle’s suspension is one of the easiest ways to instantly improve overall performance. The HKS Hipermax II suspension, which offers both ride height and shock dampening adjustments, provides improved handling characteristics while maintaining your vehicle’s ride comfort. Ride height is adjusted by simply rotating the 60mm spring retainer perches around the chromed steel shock body. The dual interlocking spring retainer perches prevent spring movement and unwanted ride height changes. Dampening can be adjusted at 30 settings (20 on some applications) to deliver the desired shock compression and rebound stiffness for custom tailored driving characteristics. The included anodized aluminium upper Pillowball mounts retain spring placement and improve steering response and maintains suspension geometry. Additionally, some applications offer camber adjustments on the upper Pillowball mounts. Each HKS Hipermax II suspension system comes with all the needed adjustment wrenches, stiffness adjusting knobs, and miscellaneous hardware for complete installation and tuning.

Features:

* Chromed Steel shock body assembly with precision-cut threads

* Shortened cylinder body and piston stroke

* Single tube structure with large free piston

* Single tube structure with low-pressure nitrogen gas

* Dual oil and gas chambers

* Anodized aluminium Pillowball upper mounts

* Anodized aluminium spring perches

* Dual rate progressive coil springs

* Fully rebuildable

More Information:

- Single tube structure with inside base valve delivers sport performance and comfort ride. Damping force of HIPERMAX II is adjustable by 30 steps for various situations.

- HKS developed special oil for the damper series. The viscosity is not affected by oil temperature. Thus, the damper keeps on performing during continuous hard driving.

- Newly designed piston delivers quick response.

- The oil gallery for the piston was newly designed for ideal oil flow. As the valve response is quick, it achieves stable damping force from low piston speed.

- New designed oil gallery of base valve controls inside pressure for road holding at low piston speed.

- The structure of the oil gallery in the base valve was improved. Diameter of the cavity is optimised to ensure proper inside oil pressure to prevent cavitation. Due to the new design, it can still be a comfortable ride with high road holding performance even at low damper stroke speed.

- Free Piston divides oil and gas area. Oil and low pressure gas are completely divided by free piston. Thus, response of damping force is quick and stable.

- Low pressure gas area in the bottom part of the cylinder eliminates uncomfortable bumpy ride at low car speed.

Apologies for digging up an old thread - but I'm trying to adjust a rear set of these and can't get my head around the setup :S

I had my car lowered at the shop, but I think they've gone too far on rear left as it's clunking around a bit. I wanted to raise the rear slightly (lengthen the shock) so it's not too short.

It states "Ride height is adjusted by simply rotating the 60mm spring retainer perches around the chromed steel shock body",however in my mind, this action would simply preload the spring?

I tried winding up the 60mm rings about 15mm but it didn't seem to have any affect on the clunking, so I assume it either preloaded the spring (not lengthen the shock as intended) or it's another issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like they are knocking. If so you need to get them rebuilt.

the way to adjust em is to unbolt the whole coilover

the bottom of the coil over should move

screw it up or down (the bottom of the coilover) depends what u wanna do raise or lower and ur done

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
