Scotty is hard to get hold of. The address on planet soarer is correct, but he's just a busy boy.
Different people have done things differently over the years. The push system is an airconditioning system fitting, schrader is a high pressure gas fitting. Not big deal either way.
If the accumulators have been re-built I'd think they won't need re-gassing for another 10+ years.
Any decent suspension shop will have a nitrogen bottle, or I have access to one in QLD.
Don't put the same fluid back in. Hard to explain here quickly, but it's a non circulating hydraulic system, so the fluid you flush out is the fluid that's been in the strut all the time.
Don't cheap out for the sake of $20-30 worth of sus fluid.
I'd wait until you see the car before getting too far ahead of yourself. You're always welcome to bring it down to my shop at yatala and we can stick it up on the hoist and have a look, otherwise Dylan at Albion knows his way around soarer's pretty well.
