Hey researching for my new project, stock r32 for drift.

Does anyone have any idea on pricing for whiteline sway bars?new or used? :laughing-smiley-014:

Be throwing one in the front... and whether i should just go for heavy duty or blade adjustable..?

(please have mercy..)> :D:thumbsup::( (DESTROY!!)> :domokun: random*

For a thread with only 5 posts there sure is alot of confusion going on.

If you want a price on the swaybar you could always ring Whiteline & ask them. Or your local Repco or similar sttore as they sell them.

If you want to help your car drift putting a stiffer sway bar on the fron will help it - undertsteer.

If it is an R32 GTS-T the cheapest thing to do is get a rear sway bar off a GT-R.

If you must have the Whiteline gear get the adjstable bars.

Stiffer front swaybar without an upgraded rear swaybar will work miserably for drift, definitely get the rear one first. You'd be much better off getting both at once though. And having them adjustable is quite helpful.

Quick question:

Will you notice any difference if you get two different brand sway bars?

I currently have custom made Kmac rear sway bar.. But might get whiteline for the front (due to cheaper pricing)

So should i go back to kmac n get a front one made up as well?

I'm gonna go with blind :worship: joke. Doesn't help that the site now reduces the size of all the pics now though.

They're called stabilizer bars in the price list. Swaybars = stabilizer bars = anti-roll bars.

Siddr20: I doubt there would be a difference between swaybar brands. But ring up the two companies and ask them where they get their spring steal from. If they get em from the same place, they're gonna be pretty damn similar.

The particular source of steel is not important. The diameter(s) of the sway bar & the length of the lever arms are the important things. So check the outside diameters & the inside diameters also if the bars are hollow.

Sorry, my mistake, I made a couple of assumptions there, just thinking we were comparing brands. Checking the diameter is a must when buying swaybars, I dont think there are any Australian companies that make hollow swaybars though, so that makes things a bit easier. Arm lengths dont have to be worried about too much as they have to be kept pretty constant to fit the car.

hey i got new front one you can have it for 100, it is the adjustable type. Left over from my RB26 conversion.

it funny actually as i pulled a full set of cuscos out to fit whiteline ones to the S13. Thw whiteline ones offered a better solution and worked better. They are heavier though.

get the largest gtr rear one and match it with mine and you will be laughing (i left my laptop at home so i dont have the whiteline part numbers in front of me)

i found when i had my R32 that a 24mm (i think) rear sway was absolutely insane for my car drifting........had coilovers and section front and rear camber arms as well, but once the sway was in with just a standard front any corner and the tail would come out with minimal effort. found it nice for my style driving

I have an R32 with the following suspension.

whiteline springs and unknown shocks

front castor arms

whiteline adjustable rear swaybar set to medium.

^^^^

its all about the "grip" with you Salad.............LOL

-personally i think each to there own, comfort is more important then what people "say" you should have based on there experience.

In any motorsport your aim is to maximise grip... So what's wrong with trying to get more grip?

Comfort? I dont think so with your 14/12 kg/mm springs :blush:

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
