No problem! That's what we are here for. We have many customers say that the engine installs as easy as the factory motor with our mount kit. That is a major component of all our designs. Most of us here at Sikky at one time or another have worked in the industry in a situation where we were using a so called "mount kit" by some manufacturer that was supposed to be bolt in that ended up being nothing close to bolt in. Nothing worse than paying good money for a bolt in kit that you end up re engineering while installing to get it to fit right. This is one of the reasons why our kits are they way they are. Instead of cussing when customers use our products we designed them so they would be amazed at how easy everything goes together......

Yes, the Z32 is moving along. The design for this chassis is complex, and for this reason has been time consuming. It will be worth the wait.

I posted this on hybridz, I would suggest getting on there and seeing if you can get some people interested, there are already a few, and some are seriously wanting this.

The 350z kit is in production right now. Should be on the shelf in a couple weeks. 300zx kit is still in R&D stage. No firm eta on that kit yet.

so with the 240 kits does you use the stock k-member and just use your motor mounts? Does a stock ls1 oil pan fit or do I need your race one? Thanks

It uses the stock k-member and use their mounts for both engine and tranny. The oil pan is a special fab pan that you use in place of the stock ls1 pan.

It would be nice to get a hold of your engine and tranny mounts plus the oil pan for the 350z. But with that said, I'am going to have to fab up a set myself because you all wont sell these pieces on there own. I'm sure your kit is going to be great I just don't have the time to wait. Thanks.

Why is it you didn't build the kit around a GTO front sump pan instead of creating a whole new one?

I have a buddy that has a 93 MAZDA B2200 that I am bringing things together to drop an LS motor into. Can you make mounts for those? Seems to be a frequent question I have been getting. I'm thinking its because of how common and inexpensive these little trucks seem to be. If you can do something for me please do hit me up with a PM!

So why then do you have all the other buttons on your site that go nowhere?
It's bloody frustrating to click on a button and have it say
These products are currently under development and are not available.
It's even worse when you find out it's BS...
