$3500. So I decided that I have to see wtf is going on with my charger.
Turns out the threads that drive the proprietary system are completely stripped!!
I have had this kit for just over a year and have about 20,000 kilometers on it !!! So I'm kinda pissed
Hks doesn't sell a rebuild kit!
They want you to send your charger to them and pay 2k$+ to fix it .... now that's a lot considering the price of the complete kit...


So now I'm going to have to fix this awful design flaw on my new hks v3 kit or I'll be buying a new Jackson racing kit and kicking the hks to the curb.....
I'll see how I can either machine some new threads it somehow or something 🤔

Same problem with mine. I'm based in Australia so I'm going through the local guys here, but I don't have much faith in what I've heard so far. I'll probably design my own fix in CAD then see if I can get it machined. Might be a market for them haha!
