Hey Guys,

The front swaybar mounts on my Series 2 R33 are old and in need of replacement.

Can someone please confirm the diameter of the standard front swaybar? I measured 22mm.

Has anyone here replaced their OEM bracket/mounts & bushes with Whiteline ones?

If so, it would be great if you could give me the Whiteline part numbers.

Cheers. :)

Yeah man I have done the same. :happy:

I have browsed the Whiteline catalogue but can not find anything suitable. :)

There is not even a suitable universal mount & bush kit!

I have been researching Nolathane products as well but again no results.

You might want to try them for your R32 www.redranger.com.au

Is there anyone out there who can help with R33 Swaybar bush kits???

I just bought a complete adjustable rear link pin kit for my 33. Its a heavy duty number with ball joints top and bottom and screw adjustment. It was quite expensive at around 160 dollars through repco but it does work a treat. I am not sure if they do a similar setup for the front tho.

pedders have the bushes, if you pull your link bushes out and d shakel and take it to them with your d bush, they will able to help you.

where are you located. try pedders in mitcham ask for george, he know his stuff.

if pedders still dont help,god forbid, try centreline suspension in thomastown.

cheers,

zac.

Cheers Zac!

I didn't expect to have to really search for this kind of part- I thought they would be really common! :domokun:

Hopefully Pedders can come up with something tough enough so I don't have to replace then any time soon!

Thanks again for the advice mate :)

Guys,

I recently bot the F & R camber kits, castor kit, subframe alignments, and swap bars from SK's suspension Group Buy. Sounds "backwards" as everyone usually goes for springs and shocks (in the form of coilovers) first but I can tell you the handing impact on my car has been amazing. Give the group buy a look.

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
