A swaybar can help more evenly plant the rear tyres resulting in a reduction in wheel spin and improved traction. If set up right on a street car they can be of huge benefit.

we remove them and change the camber settings to compensate....result is the same contact patch as before but with reduced weight and improved rear squat. We have one of the best street tyred IRS 60 foots in the country to back my theory up. Its over 1.5 tonne has a little over 400kw and 60's in the high 1.4's.

widebody, i also use HKS Hyperdampers...but not the "drag spec" ones...they take a bit of testing to get them right but once you do the car hooks up well.

just a thought but in the one of chance of the car breaking something, driving through oil etc and the car gets sideways it will be harder to control as it will body roll like a champion. after seeing a few guys cars crash at the track i have seen a lot of guys put them back on. for the sake of 5 kilos or so, i will just go on a diet.

Some of the fastest street car racers in the world run 6 second quarter miles at over 200mph in purpose built race cars and still use swaybars. They 60 in the low to mid 1.0's and get out of shape less often.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
