If you knew this La Bomba guy; the way you've written this is either unbelieveable irony or vintage La Bomba. Keep it coming; Love the colour and spec, and I like teh humourz...

Not much to see really, but mine's a Fast Fit ; Pics;

Pm sent.

Ok there seems to be enough demand, so I'll formalise it on Monday. Check my feedback if you're concerned, or feel free to PM for more detail. Cheers, Dale.

The bars come from Whiteline powdercoated blue/silver, no issues with structural integrity. Stacks of people powdercoat wheels with no issue. The bloke you've been talking to might have his wires crossed with chroming.

Cheers mate; I aim to please! Best description of the benefit of fitting Sway Bars Mine are also powdercoated Black; stealth FTW!

Thanks Iain Man, I need to tee up with you to pick up that arm too; totally forgot about it! You about one night this week? Cheers, Dale.

I would tend toward the 24mm due to the extra weight in the rear (a lot of glass & steel high up in the body) and this will also tend to reduce understeer. I'm not really familiar with the handling bias of the C34 but I would imagine it is understeer biased. Feel free to correct me.

Another frustrating week of waiting for my Aero kit to be painted. Dropped in on Thursday; to see the bars in primer, looking slick as, waiting for paint! Hopefully they'll be on by the weekend! The bolts that mount the sides of the rear bar (top edge) are these accessed from the boot? What trim do I need to remove to access them? Thanks in advance.

$350? I'll be able to smoke that price Should be around $230-$240ish. Thanks for the tip; I'll get some prices together. Cheers, Dale.

Ok, prices it is. I'll get some up tomorrow. Cheers, Dale.

I'm not really clued up as to the differences in the subframes among the different models, so I'll have to defer to the more experienced guys on that. I'm going to have to pay more attention. If we can ascertain what subframe it is; I'm sure we can find a bar to suit.

Good to have a smart accountant. Cruises could be a deductible as well; business promotion?

That's a very informative post, and the dump is a very nice showcase of his skills. A couple of point from a fabricators point of view; 1; Stretching and forming Stainless is possible without cracking and stressing, but it needs to be annealed as it is worked; to remove the resulting "work hardening". This however increases the cost of the finished product often for no great benefit. 2; With regard to the thermal expansion issue; This can be countered by using a thicker flange. Also, using a material of a different expansion rate for the flange will actually increase the incidence of cracking due to the differing expansion rates of the two materials. Joining the disimilar materials isn't really an issue (using the correct filler), but long term, corrosion of the mild steel flange can compromise the welded joint. 3; Another critical dimension is the weld bead; if the bead of a butt weld (joining two flat plates) or fillet weld (joining flange to pipe) exceeds the thickness of the material by too much; this will promote cracking due to the difference in thermal expansion of the weld and parent metal. 4; Regarding surface finish; I agree wholeheartedly! The appearance of a weld is testament to the craftsman who created it. It is his signature. A beautiful weld is almost always a functional weld. Good engineering always looks good! Note; None of my comments are in any way meant as a criticism of this product, merely posted for clarity; it's very neat, well made and keenly priced Cheers, Dale.

Sooo, I've done several Group Buys for Sway Bars now, and they've all gone very well, but I haven't really catered for you guys Are any of you C34 drivers after Sway Bars or Whiteline alignment parts? Feel free to post in this thread or send me a PM; I'm happy to help. Cheers, Dale.

Lol, my plate is AAE34C! Had it for as long as I've had a car.

Adrian, I haven't got any bars listed; only bushings, and I'm not that familiar with the Cefiro. Is the bar the same as anything else, I may be able to cross match and find something to suit. Let me know if you have any ideas to point me in the right direction. Cheers, Dale.

Apologies for the delay; PM sent.

No, I'm sure it's only the factory one. The speeedo in the NM35 has more error than I've ever experienced in a car before. Easily corrected with changes to rolling Dia. when you upgrade wheels; the OEM gear is much too small to fill the guards properly.. Yep, that sounds like it. That's the one I want, once I stop wasting money doing other stuff.

Chris Rogers does a pretty slick aftermarket one, using factory controls; not cheap, but nothing good ever is... Check him out for details. The biggest issue with the factory cruise, as I understand it; will only engage up to 112-113 km/h. No more. When you factor in speedo error on the NM35 of around 10%; you won't even be able to keep with traffic on the freeway...

Lol dude, was just stirring; anytime you're ready. They'll make a nice amount of difference, especially since your shocks were fairly stuffed to begin with.

GTR's a-go-go for me this week! Gunmetal R32 at BP Valley Heights. R34 wheels and tasty blue anodised calipers, very neat looking. Sounded very sweet coming on boost and snaking up the highway as I was filling up my daily. Made my night seeing one driven like they should be.

Will do mate, yeah I don't think he really wanted to let it go, but I think he got what he was wanting; pricewise. Shaun likes a drink & a chat? Lol, I had no idea...
