Hi i have Kei Office front coilovers and HKS Hyper D Coilovers on the rear and one of the rear coilovers has

started leaking oil.

I have taken them off the car and replaced them with originals for now.

Question who and where in australia can i get them REBUILT or is there a couple of kits that i can buy and do it myself.

I know i can go buy new ones but i dont want to stuff around setting the car back up as the car handles like it is on rails and i have gotten used to it and i dont want to go through the spring choices again as it took me a while and spring changes to get it to handle like it does and i dont really want to change it.

i had the same prob with two of my coilovers leaking, i did buy brand new teins last week (aussie spec super street) but the cheapy coilovers i had were the g4(the just jap ones) and for 6 years - bout 130000km. to rebuild them was quoted 300 - 350 per corner. i live in campbelltown nsw and would of had to ttaken them to brookvale - k sport. figured id spend a little more this time and now i can have these rebuilt just about anywhere when they shit themselves in another 6 years time.

oh yeah my car is a 32gtst

300-350 per corner is in the ball park. cheaper to buy a new set!

U cant get seal kits from HKS, u need to send them to an authorized HKS repairer.

If u were to do it yourself you still have the problem of getting them regased, no one will pressurize them if they havnt worked on them

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
