Hi guys

A few of my friends know that i have been testing the Kido racing range of products that are Made in Taiwan, particularly their brake kits, and coilover suspension packages with surprising results.

They really stand up to some serious abuse, and i have no qualms in using them in my future vehicle builds. I have tested them on my R34 GTR and are currently going through installation on the Supra which i have built over the last two years.

The deal with the coilovers is $1100 per set including delivery to your door, and they come with custom spring settings, so if you require a heavier or lighter spring than Kido provides please let me know when you place the order.

The reason i use this company is they have an association with manufacturing some of the Greddy products, and i was willing to give them a go.

$1100 including shipping with choice of spring rates, 10 people needed. Group buy will go for three months or stop earlier if the numbers are reached.

Here is some information on whats available and some photos.

● Mono-tube shock design

● 40 levels of dampening adjustability can be set to any preference

● 44mm linear characteristic internal piston

● Italian IP F.A 5W made very high viscosity index guarantees efficient shock-absorbing action at any ambient temperature

● Lower bracket height adjustability prevents the needs to adjust the spring perch offering the max shock-absorbing travel

● SAE9254 cold-bent spring is designed to optimize the balance between performance and comfort

You might want to ready the group buy sticky here

You need to supply a start and end date for your group buy as per the rules.

Letting you know, so your thread doesn't get locked or deleted.

before handing your money over, i hope everyone knows this is the same company making the fake bride seats that are going around, the fake takata harnesses, the fake sard regulators and many other fake seats.

why support a bunch of theives, selling replica items for almost the same price.

Because making people pay $1000's for something that would cost nowhere near as much to make isn't thieving?

IDC what you say about R&D they still factor in a major profit margin.

Before we get on the bagging train, please realise that these coilovers are no different, than maybe , G4, D2 and the like. They are pretty much all made in Taiwan and is no way reflected on their quality.

However if you want to feel like research and development is the way to go then go ahead and buy any of the other brand names. I have used the product and all i can say is i havent had any problems.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
