Hey all, just wondering if the swaybars for R32 GTRs are the same as those for a R32 GTST? Not rele concenred about thedifference thickness of the bars but whether they are interchangable or are they shaped differently.

Cheers y'all

i thought gtr rear swaybars were 25mm hollow with 2.5mm wall thickness.

if they are, they are 250% stiffer than stock gts-t swaybars

if they are 22mm hollow with 2.5mm wall thickness they are 130% stiffer.

so either way is quite a good upgrade compared to the stock 16mm rear swaybar

the front shouldnt fit as the gtr front subframe is different to accomodate for the front diff.

guess you could make it fit though, you're probly better off just getting whiteline swaybars for front though

and anyone looking for a really cheap upgrade, look at s13 swaybars (rear fits, not too sure about front). rear is 20mm hollow which is 44% stiffer than stock swaybar

and fairly sure the front bar isnt hollow, well on the gts-t is is solid, so assume the gtr is also solid, around 22mm. measured once with verniers, but forgot exactly how much

Edited by salad

and at the end of the day... you may as well get whiteline adjustable.... I think i posted a while ago asking if gtr swaybars were a worthy upgrade, the advise sydneykid gave me was to just get the whiteline swaybars.

(they are $390 a pair on garage-13.com)

the front shouldnt fit as the gtr front subframe is different to accomodate for the front diff.

guess you could make it fit though, you're probly better off just getting whiteline swaybars for front though

so is the R32 GTS4 subrfame the same as the GTR and aparently different to the GTST?? and i said the standard R32 GTR front bar was hollow..... same as the rear..... hollow

the GTR bars are actualy 25 mm rear and 20mm front... both hollow (dont believe a whiteline article...)

one of my mates hac an R33 gtst that he has put R33 GTR front and rear swaybars bars straight on to so the front could bolt straight on...?

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
