Hello,

i have HKS hyper D coil overs,

front left one has a bad knock in it when going over sharp bumps.

need to get a suspension place who knows what they are doing to take it apart and see whats wrong with it?

any suggestions in western suburbs or the city?

anyone ever gone to pedders with another brand shock?

thanks.

Austin

Don't bother going to pedders, they're useless.

It's not in Melbourne but Chad's Off Road Setups in Geelong might be able to help you out. I'm not to sure if he's dealt with car coilovers much but he's well equipped to work on dike bike, road bike and off road buggy/car suspension.

I pulled down and serviced my own coilovers, I just had to go to him to fill them with nitrogen.

It's worth calling to see what he can do.

In North Melbourne - TruTrack

They are hella busy though, so you'll need to book in advance. If it's knocking it could just be a worn strut top if they are aftermarket and old, pretty common and cheap fix (just buy new ones).

Be prepared to pay though if it's something else... It'll get expensive pretty quick if it's rebuild and what not as you'll do both fronts at the same time etc.

There is another place out in Bayswater that is doing some interesting things on a very affordable scale (ie, just replace the lot with new stuff) that a very good friend of mine has started using (it's custom gear, but very well priced). If you need more info lemme know.

thanks for the suggestions, will ring around at lunch today and get them booked in

and yeah ill be getting both checked out (especially if one has developed issues)

and fingers crossed its just the strut top.

Thanks guys,

booked in at Centreline, will see how it pans out.

Centreline Suspension in Thomastown should be able to fit you in next week, once they come back from Bathurst

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
