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

    • To clarify what I posted above, I though you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.
