Tried to get in touch with Sydneykid by calling their company Superior Suspension only to be told they've been liquidated and moved on :)

So im guessing my options of getting sydneykid's suspension package is nil and time to look for alternatives...

After an australian designed suspension around the $1300.

Currently have kyb shocks with hks springs from Japan and the ride is too rough for daily driving.

Would prefer a setup suited for the australian roads and for track (just like sydneykid's setup :worship: )

Anyone know any shockabsorber/spring combo or coilover setup which is similar in handling and comfort?

Tired of the jap-spec suspension and want something more durable

Thanks :blink:

It depends on what you want to spend. Many guys here have had positive things to say about Tein, Fulcrum supply Australian Spec Teins. There is a shop some you Mexicans reference as a good place to have Teins revavled locally I'm sure someone will come up with the name. Have search for Teins and revalving

my budget is around the $1400 mark, Ive heard the australian teins are like $2000+ which is a bit outside my range.

Would anyone know which model bilsteins sydneykid sold? I could try and chase up another supplier of the same/similar shocks...

Slide was selling super streets (jap spec? but street jap spec) for $1589 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Te...St-t193401.html

Price has probably changed now but its probably worth asking. Check out the other traders as well.

Pat... I can get you the Bilstein stuff from Fulcrum if you want. We've got a reseller account with em. Just hit me with the exact part numbers and I'll put the order in. You'll need to go pick it up from the Driftline workshop tho.

My suspension shop recommended the Pedders extreme adjustable coilovers for $1600.

Anyone have any experience in these? Suspension shop claim they as good as teins (which they also sell, but are too expensive)

ive been looking at this recently also.

fulcrum do the aus spec tein super street for r33 for around $2200 i think from memory.

they also do a complete superpro bush and camber set for about $700

fitting for ALL of this was around $600

I think it was $3600ish for everything fitted, wheel alignment front and rear

those prices may vary as its off the top of my head from when i rang them

Elite racing here in QLD also do a bilstein/superpro kit very similar to sydney kids.

Prices pulled from sauqld:

Non Member Prices

Bilstein Shocks (Pair) - $528

Shock Boots + Bumpstops (Pair) - $65

Springs (Pair) - $132

Swaybar - Heavy Duty (Blade Adjustable) - $220

Swaybar - Heavy Duty (Non Adjustable) - $198

Front Upper Control Arm Camber Bushes - $253

Front Castor Rod Bushes (Offset tube for Adjustment) - $99

Rear Upper Control Arm Camber Bushes - $132

Pineapples for Rear Crossmember - $88

so there if you get the top 3 items it comes to $1350 + shipping. and you should be able to fit them yourself.

Done

Hope that helps you and anyone else out.

Also if you shoot Dan from elite an email he should be able to help you out. seems to be a great guy. he's on these forums also.

I have Bilsteins in my GTT with stock springs lowered about 2cm and the ride is pretty rough.. thinking of actually lowering it a bit more but I'll need to get either kings or lovells springs as the stockies cant go any lower.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
