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.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
