I used to run the adjustable Whiteline swaybar. A friend has a turbo conversion in his R32 GTS so gavce his my old swaybars to usem inlcuding the links.

Only now when i open the kit to install the new swaybars, they arent complete with all the bits needed, and actually use some of the old/std parts / links etc.

So can someone post up pics of the undersides of their cars so i can try and suss out the bits i need to buy?

From a Whiteline stabiliser bar fitting kit perspective;

The front bars, adj and fixed, both use the standard D brackets

The fixed bar uses the standard drop links

The adj bar uses special links (Whiteline supply them with the bar)

The rear bars, adj and fixed, both use the standard D brackets

The fixed rear bar uses the standard drop links

The adj rear bar uses special links (Whiteline supply them with the bar)

Let me know what you need, I have a few sets of links (no D brackets though) on the shelf for emergencies.

:D cheers :(

It seems i need the D-brackets, and im not sure i have all the bushes needed to install the swaybars themselves? Need photos as its been 6 nmonths since i took off my old bars... photos would be good.

I may just get the wheel alignment ppl to sort it all out??? Id rather do it myself though as the expense of doing this rally that im gettign the car ready for is out of control :laugh:

Roy,

You should have two D brackets/bushes per bar. The photo is of the GT-R bars, but the droppers are much of a muchness. Gt-R set only comes with the rear droppers - the fronts just bolt up to the standard ones.

Theres the ticket then, my fronts didnt come with any bushes. And the D brackets need a fiar bit of tweaking to fit the bush. After a lot of cursing i still want able to do them alst night. One hr sleep in over 2.5 days and i ran out of puff...ph and forgot to put wheels back on the car when dropping it off the jack.... oops ;) Very tired :P

Well just rang Whiteline to order them and they are telling me the adjustable front swaybars use std links. Looking at the car that has my old swaybars they are aftermarket links and definitely not std. So something has chamged as Whiteline since i had my original ones fitted.

The adventures of doign things to crs when you have a deadline...time to try Noltec i think.

Standard links on R33's and R34's, but Whiteline links on R32's. You want me to send you a link kit, I have a couple of spare sets? PM will do.

:huh: cheers :blush:

PS; I don't have any spare D bushes or D brackets though.

My adjustable front bar didn't come with links for my r32. :3some:

Standard one seems to work alright, just need to to get off my arse one of these days and replace the rubber bush with some poly ones i have lying around

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
