    What Is A Sway Bar For?

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted

    So from ive been reading soo far.

    It would be far better for me to get front and rear adjustable swaybars compared to getting some lower springs?

    Ive currently just got some KYB shocks and just some urathane bushes. If the swaybars are that much better, after getting them would lower springs make a big difference in terms of ride harsness vs handling, ie would the handling out weigh the increased ride harshness

    Cheers

    I would recommend the Adjustable Blade adjustable swaybars over lowered springs. The blade adjustable items from whiteline are great. :)

    Broken Front Right Swaybar Mount R33 Skyline

    Hey Guys,

    I have a little problem. My front drivers side swaybar mount on the back of the wheel hub is broken clean off!!!! :pirate: WFT!!!!! :)

    I have a whiteline blade adjustable swaybar with the heavy duty link kit and the kit is set to the third hole from the end of the swaybar.

    Has this happened to anyone else?

    I have ran both the blade adjustable front and rear bars for about a year and the Super Low King Springs for about 8 months without any issues...until now. Can this be replaced without having to replace the whole hub? Annyone?!

    I found a good cheap boost controller for $22!!!

    Jake33- I had exactly the same boost controller as you (GFBs in black)

    anyways i found that controller to spike heaps past a certain point. But then again that controller was hard to figure out which way to turn with the alen key..

    Im now using this cheap 22 buck one.. Does the jon fine.. Set mine at 0.8bar.. Spikes to nearly 1 bar on cold days in 2nd gear if i push it..

    Otherwise its pretty constant..

    Have you guys earth the black wire? I heard it will help a bit with the smoothness when you spool up..

    Overall im happy with the 22buck controller..

    Quick question...

    If you put the controller in the wrong way, it wont boost at all? Or you cant turn up the boost?

    What happens?

    Cheers

    If you put this device in the wron way, the wastgate will not open. In other words not a good idea. Just remember pipe from the intercooler goes to the bottom of the device and the pipe from the side goes to the wastgate.

    I have one of these boost controllers, it holds boost really well. I run 10 psi on the street and 12 psi for the track. With the piggy back computer I run it works really well.

    The All New Bmw 3 Series Coupe...

    Seeing my current financial situation one might consider himself not only unfit to buy a NEW BMW but have a hard time paying for a happy meal :thumbsup:

    The initial question was not intended to include your current financial situation. It was just thown out there to see if you were to buy a BMW what would it be?

    I know BMW's are designed for a specific market. They are designed for people who want a nice comfortable street car that can perform when they need/ want it to. For instance my Dad, who is a rev head and has owned many hot performance cars, chose to buy a Lexus IS200, not because it was fast, but because it was comfortable. Again its a nice car, performance is not bad given it's an NA 2 litre six, but its smooth as, much smoother than my Skyline. I would still have the Skyline over the Lexus.

    I guess one day when I have grown up (still waiting and I'm 25) I will want to get something like a BMW over an R34 GTR. but until that day I'll stick with my Skylines.

    Hey Guys,

    I was bored as at work so I thought I would look into the new BMW 3 Series Coupe :sorcerer: . I caught something on the TV the other night about the engine being a first of its kind or some rubbish :wave: ...maybe for BMW, but not the Australian car market.

    Reading the information published on http://www.bmw.com.au/, it states ' ...the first straight-six complete with a twin turbocharger, high-precision fuel injection, and an all-aluminium crankcase.' It produces 225 kws from a twin turbo 3 litre six, which is pretty good and comes with a 6 speed manual or automatic.

    As nice as this is, I would still have an R34 GTR, Series 8 RX7 or Twin Turbo Supra over one of these, but hey it looks good. I think the only BMW I would buy, would be the M5/ M6, if I was to buy a BMW.

    What are your comments? Would you give up your Skyline or whatever you drive for a BMW 3 Series Coupe? And if you had to buy a BMW what would it be and why?

    Bosch Mec717/718 Coil Packs

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    Hi All,

    I have been doing some research and it seems some people have used a wasted-spark setup to fix their old coilpack issues. I have a series 1 R33 GST25t skyline and my coils are dead! So unusual... Anyways, I have found some bosch mec717/ mec718 which would allow me to keep it running with the individual 6 coils. Has anyone used these before? Will they work with my standard s1 ignitor or will these kill it? Any help would be great. Thanks

    Nate
