" Sydneykid " Pros And Cons

[felixy69]

hello guys

Sydneykid recently offered to build and sell me a build rb30 bottom end for my application,

my question is because i haven't dealt with this guy and dunno anything about him, and i am from canada.

i would like anyone that have dealt with him before to tell me soemthing about him, PM me if you want to do it private. but any info would be great.

he does sound like he knows his shit tho...

have anyone else goten a build rb30 bottom end from him, how's his work ?

when u get the bottom end from the mail, is it just like what he stated when you paid him ?

anyways, any info would be great !

thanks

he is a champion and wont let you down.

he runs his own race team and offers help to basically anyone in the club who pm's him. he gives his honest opinion, doesnt lie and gives you all the facts you need.

[R31Nismoid]

i would think a simple search of "sydneykid" as a user would return anything you would need to know

[AMS]

Absalote Champion - You wont be dissapointed. I'm sure anyone on here will vouch for him

[maximumrpm]

he is a great bloke...and always tries to help out another member if he can

[AzzurrA]

I've never bought anything from him, but he is always there, willing to freely give advice, spend his own time to help out others etc. Deadset legend in my books!

Good User, Highly Recommended A++++

i double that. he seems to be on every major thread giving either the final say or a seal of approval. he seems like a top bloke.

[dangerous_daveo]

He spent about 45mins yesterday going thru suspension with me explaining things, all in a way I could understand. What works and what doesnt.

I dont think he has a con. Just all pros. That and a REALLY nice bloke.

[Guilt-Toy]

You should think yourself lucky. He refused to build my RB30DET because he is tooo busy with his own projects etc etc.

Here is a reply of an PM back in September 2003

"Sorry Guilt-Toy we have a very busy schedule with race car preparation for the Bathurst races (1000 and 2 Hour). I really only do work on our team race cars, that's why I can offer unprejudiced advice and recommend products and people without having to worry about making money by selling you something.

Regards

Gary

Just be thankfull you are getting a RB30DET built that you know wont have any issues.

[TTT]

nah he's dodgey.

I don't trust him... anyone with that much knowledge has got to be a freak.

LOL..

I suggest you send him a quick PM asking questions about OIL control in RB motors..

hahahahaha

[nizmokid]

well 2 big thumbs up .....help me out with a issue I was having with my car !!!! ..........knows his sh!t!

[LBR33]

There isnt a person on SAU who knows more about RB's then him.....A+++++++++

[Bass Junky]

SK kicks arse.

He's a top bloke and he even let me hang around his race team at Sandown one afternoon. It was tops.

SK is our hero.

Now everyone should stop stoking his Ego (not that he has one) and let him get back to giving us all Awesome advice.

[Tangles]

LOL to this thread; simple answers so here we go:

Pro's - got the Bilstein / Whiteline suspension kit from him, in 2 purchases, over the past 3 weeks; on my 2nd purchase he sorted out an awesome deal etc for the shocks, so I ended up with $1800 (retail) worth of goodies for $1200, & received delivery within 2-3 business days from the date of my payment. I believe Gary posted stuff to me before my payment had cleared in his bank account! A top trader for sure.

Con's - Im sure he doesnt know everything, but hell, how would WE mere mortals know, seeing WE know jack-sh*t compared to Gary! Im just waiting for his RB Skyline book to come out!

Hope that helps, at the end of the day Sydneykid is the fella you want in your corner supporting you, so if you can get products from him, then DO IT.

Tangles.

[thommo]

very, very knowledgable member. has been around for a long time patiently dispensing advice to anyone who asks, no probs with trusting this bloke.

also check his trader ratings, should give you some idea.

ps- anyone else think that SK actually started a new user name and posted this thread to add to his resume?

guys, the cheques are in the mail.

I wasn't me, I only have one logon, don't have time for more than one.

cheers

PS; We are doing a run of 5 X RB30's for race team customers in the US and UK. This guy was lucky, on the same day he contacted me one of the customer changed his order from 3 engines to 2 engines. Hence we had one spare, so he is getting an absolute bargain.

Damn.. Lucky lucky.. I was gona say I would have definatly gone for a Sydney kid special if I had the chance.

Good luck with it

[Silver-Arrowz]

SK is somewhat of a legend on SAU. I'm sure he's got all our backing.

P.S. I'd like a bank cheque. lol!

[GTshortie]

Sydneykid is a LEGEND!...

hahha nearly everyone on this forum knows him due to his willingness to contribute to discussions on this forum out of his own time for the benefit of other SAU members.

SK has my support, i wish i knew SK had engines for sale before i rebuilt mine... <sigh>

only the best would come from someone with so much experience/knowledge on RB engines.

consider yourself LUCKY!
