HI Guys!

Proud owner of a S1 Autech Version 260RS.

When I bought the car, didnt realise it had after market HKS Shocks.

Anyway, Shocks are now shagged and require a rebuild.

PROBLEM!

Nobody seems to be rebuilding them anymore. My local shops contacts wont look at them anymore and he is struggling to find someone who will/can.

All New Shocks have been suggested.

Does anybody know anyone that will look at these things, OR

What brands are worth looking at and prices?

was looking at about $1200 to rebuild. Cant really afford much more but I dont want to compromise on handling too much.

Any Suggestions?

Cheers!

Clearly its your E opinion thats becoming the issue here! I have HKS coilovers (you have BC's) & I've been in a few cars with BC's, yeah BC's are good value & are a reasonable quality coilover, not desputing that! But HKS are exceptional quality & definetly worth rebuilding! Why would you throw away an awesome set of coilovers that only need a rebuild? Disposable society much? I rebuild my DH mountain bike forks every year, awesome shocks, once rebuilt they function just like the day I bought them, throwing them away would be silly, car suspension at this level is no different! Besides as he stated they came on the car (somehow made it through compliancing i assume?), so Its my opinion to stick with them & get them rebuilt & you will have a fantastic set of coilovers that should last you many more years! They were made to be servicable for a reason!

      General interior R34 questions

      By r34killa · Posted

      Hi everyone, I'm generally new to DIY projects, and I've browsed this forum and watched a lot of youtube videos but still have a few questions   Firstly, how does spray painting interior hold up? in particular like vinyl parts, my current mode of thinking is to use methyl spirits to take off original paint, clean/prep well, light coats, no primer or clear coat    Secondly, what is recommended for the headliner and, for example (my car is a r34), the A-pillars which are some kind of other fabric material, do you think I would be successful at retrimming these? or would it be better to go down the blacking out via Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric Paint    Any other advice / tips / tricks for refreshing/modernising these interiors?    Thanks

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just note that when trying to find a short in a globe power supply, it is best to disconnect the globe as it will allow current through to earth. With it unplugged it is easier not to get confused. Also with the r32 wiring, the high beam has 2 power supplies (one when you push the switch forward and the other when you temporarily pull it back; so if it is the high beam blowing you will need to trace both circuits

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's a short. Find the short. It will be somewhere between that fuse and the headlight. Start by removing the plugs from the back of the headlight and dimmer switches, and measure resistance to earth. Supply side (power from the fuse) should have none. The other side should have resistance compatible with whatever globe(s) is there (which is relatively easy to say for a normal globe, perhaps not as easy to say for LEDs). Anyway, if you have very low resistance, you defo have a short. Then you just have to run the wiring like you're running the bowel of a dog (on the operating table) that has swallowed something it wasn't supposed to.
