I just found out that my HKS coilovers have arrived and they are in like new condition with HKS camber tops!!! Also I have a set of 3000gt calipers on their way and a custom stainless Dump pipe and Front pipe on the way.

All thanks to Steve from Advanced Jap!!!

I was really fussy with the coilovers that I wanted and he searched for ages to find some in awesome condition!!

Dougmo: Seems like a good idea I think!!!

[GSRSOL]

sweet as! what are the specs on the coilovers?

HKS Hipermax II - Full kit


"The Hipermax II coilover suspension kits have been engineered to be track ready suspension that is still "streetable". Dampening and rebound can be adjusted simultaneously in 30 different increments to deliver the desired shock compression and rebound stiffness. 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.

The included anodized aluminum upper pillowball mounts improve traction and steering response while maintaining suspension geometry. Also certain applications offer camber adjustments on the upper pillowball mounts. All HKS Hipermax II coilover suspension kits include all the needed wrenches, adjustment knobs, and miscellaneous hardware for a complete installation and tuning."

They should be stiff enough for moderate track work but still streetable hopefully! Would have loved to have gone for some DMS puppies like George and Scott but i'm struggling to find a buyer for my left kidney!

What suspension are you running Dan?

NICE.!

im having trouble deciding on which coilovers to get, been trying to choose between Ohlins, Toda, or the DMS 40mm (which George has recommended )

I will probably end up with the DMS too the way im going :oops:

[vsthis]

It's a trap isn't it! I was just going to get some cheap coilovers like the kyb's or the D2's but then i thought about getting the teins for a little more $$$. Then I thought i might aswell spend a little more and get the HKS's. Good thing Steve found some or I would be doing the same as you!!!

I'll let you know how they go when i get back. I'll take you for a spin so you have something to compare with if you want.

For the street, I cant see why you'd want to spend $4000 on coilovers.


Teins would do the trick nicely for a street car I rekon



Did you get the water pump sorted Damo?? She running again?



dre

[DOUGMO]

the tein ss are definatley quality units for the street.

definatley good value over d2s etc...

its all dependant on your budget, but at the end
of the day you wont get anything half decent
for less that $2000.

40s are about 3k

Finally got my car sorted out and bringing her home from Bendigo when i get back from work in a week!!!!

Turns out it was the gasket behind the water pump that let go.

I've replaced the waterpump, timing and balance shaft belts, harmonic balancer and the ISC.

I've also landed a full evo 6 interior to use while i get all my evo 3 interior modified and referbished.

I'm back home for a few weeks this break so i'll get to installing what seems to be a mountain of parts accumulating in my shed and post up another update with pics then.

Sounds good bro!! 8)

Cant wait to see this thing on the road again!

[vsthis]

It's been way too long. But i'm tempted to keep it off the road for a bit longer to put some cams in and maybe get a full respray with all my genuine bodykit installed.

Anyone you would reccomend to get cams done?

[S15ETA]

get richard to do it.....good bloke and he did my cams and timing belt with ease.....also its good to keep it in the 4g family

[MADEVO]

i got tomei 260's and i like them!! Revs hard to 8k!!!

[vsthis]

The car is back home in the garage and she's running like a dream.

I'v just gotten back from visiting Steve at AJAI and picked up a few goodies to play with. And now i've got 2 weeks off work to get some stuff done.

Here's some pics of my latest bit's and pieces.

Evo 6 Front and rear seats





Alpine X 6.5" splits



GTO Brakes





Evo 3 Rear bootlid with Genuine Wing, Fog lights and loom.





Evo 3 Rear bar with pods





Evo Alloy Bonnet





And a Vaccuum Manifold To try and neaten my engine bay up a little.





The brackets i have for the brakes are going to need some modification as the holes don't line up great on the calipers. I might end up getting some new ones made up.[/img]

[GSRSOL]
