Funny I am in the same boat

paid on the 25th June but heard nothing yet so would be interested if anyone hears as to what is happening to the shocks etc or if they know when it is expected

I dont know if SydneyKid reads this forum,.... not much activity from him.

Let me know if you need an email address/phone number to follow it up - 2 months is too long to wait.

Subject: Delivery of R33 GTR Suspension Kit for BLK33

Hi Matt,

I would like a response to this query regarding the progress of my order for a R33 GTR suspension kit.

I transferred the money late in June - some 2 months ago. You advised me delivery would be 2 weeks and since that date I’ve had no replies to any of my PMs. As mentioned in my previous PMs, I'm not busting for the bits I just want to make sure you received the money and what the expected delivery date is.

Please contact me by PM or mobile.

Cheers

Anyone know if SK is still doing this group buy???

I'd like to place an order and don't know how to contact SK as his PM inbox is full.

Any updates?

cheers.

I am in the same boat as Endorean. Keep hearing that SydneyKid has a full inbox and hearing other stories about people waiting 2 months for their gear. Pretty scary.

Anyone have an update on this Group Buy? I desperately need new suspension and this is by far the cheapest.

Thanks

Andrew

I've been trying now for approx. three months, even when I get a PM into his inbox [twice], I get no reply????I know his a busy man but..............

So I'd have to say that the Group Buy is finished, dead, kaput!!!

Pity cos I wanted it bad, the only thing I haven't tried yet is contacting SK through his business, there was a name and phone number in HPI.

I'll give it a go and see what happens, christ it gets bad when you have buyers clamoring at the door that the seller doesn't respond to.

Good luck Trident, hope you can get through to him. I know he has been posting on here every now and then, but nothing on the group buy section.

Let me know how you go, as i have money ready to go!!!!

Cheers.

We are currently suffering from out of stock on some springs, some alignment products and some shocks absorbers, which is holding up about 20 deliveries, some for over 6 weeks. So we haven't been taking new orders, it's not fair on the guys who are waiting on their stuff. Springs are gradually arriving, they are made in Europe, so delivery takes time. The bush production is getting back on stream after the amalgamation of the Noltec and Whiteline alignment products, the new combined range is called Whiteline Plus. Some are due this/next week. That leaves us with a few kits that will be waiting on selected Bilstein part numbers. I am on the suppliers case daily as many of the guys are, understandably, getting impatient and they send multiple PM's every day, this fills up the inbox faster than we can reply.

It's a temporary situation caused by a number of unrelated issues, once we are passed that we will take some new orders. The bonus is there are a number of new and improved products that we will be able to include in the various Group Buys.

Cheers

Gary

Gary/SydneyKid,

Thanks for getting back to us all. I am sure there are plenty of others who will feel better now they know what is happening.

I look forward to seeing/hearing about these new products! Cheers.

Please keep us posted, I can wait if I know that something is actually happening................but I [naturally] have to look elsewhere if I think that it is all finished.

And I can tell you, a 3,000km trip on hard Teins is not always pleasant, at least I didn't fall asleep....................lol

Hi Gary/SydneyKid,

I've got an S1 R33 GTS (soon to be turboed, but that's not really the point). The thing handles quite well, compared to a falcodore, but it's still got way too much body roll for my liking. It is pretty much a street-only car, not totally a 'daily-driver' but I just want it to handle more like a go-kart and less like a boat! I know stuff all about suspension, and just want an idea of what I'm looking at to get the thing handling like I'd like.

Cheers,

Sam.

I believe it will come back, but Garry has had a lot of issues with suppliers. He is switching to different spring manufacturers to resolve the problem in the long run, but it might take a while to get up and running again.

ahh i hope its soon my suspension is shot.....was going to get the isc coilovers promoted on the site......hearing really terrible things about aftermarket coilovers ...the roads here are shite ..they might be to stiff...

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
