Obviously SK's kits are long long gone, but from everything I've read they're awesome, which leaves me wondering...

Anyone have any suggested alternatives to SK's kits or perhaps a dealer who'd be able to knock together something similar for a decent price?

Cheers!

the sydneykid kits were excellent. I am still running one in my race car 5 years later, and have a kit in the stagea too. It was nice to have someone on the internet who actually had been there and done that, and was willing to share the knowledge.

Most of the kit was sourced from Whiteline Australia and is still available, SK's thread even gives you the part numbers FFS!

You'll just need to get yourselves some half decent coilovers... BC coil overs are good bang-for-buck if you are on a buget.

Seriously how hard is it to work out for yourself?

I thought the bilstein shock was part of the kit though ?

You're right.

I have the sports kit.

It's not coil overs.

SK also bundled full race kits.

Sports Kit :

Springs , sway bars and bushes are Whiteline.

Springs are 25 % stiffer than stock but Whiteline don't make them any more.

Shocks are matched Bilsteins.

SK told me I could convert to full race by fitting coil overs and keeping the Bilsteins.

But I'm happy with where it is.

SK certainly got it right.

Awesome ride for Aussie roads.

I'm going to ditch my tein pogo sticks for a bilstein setup soon.

Elite racing developments or ERD do 'kits', last time i checked they did a bilstein shock with extra circlip grooves

for hight adjustment with custom king springs i think. was well priced a year or so ago, give them a try.

for camber arms front, rear, traction rods and castor rods, Just jap has it, along with other good stores and sway bars are easy to get hold of, ebay etc

Unique autosports has a lot also, bushings for the diff etc, all kinds of goodies.

cheers, Jack

re springs I read on here that the king springs have similar rates to the whitelines. king springs, bilsteins, suspension bushes. so just source it yourself, it's not hard. heck i did it and i'm lazy :P 100x better to drive after doing those simple items.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
