Pix please. How far? Think about what directions the bar and shafts can move in and you should be able to get an idea of if they're likely to touch.

FWIW i had to grind off the ends for my white line front sway bar as it just touched my driveshafts (GTR)

you can push the bar to the side slightly (i'm assuming it's the bit that goes up over the exhaust as mine was a bit tight too). It will likely mean that the links aren't square to the bar but that isn't as important as maintaining clearance to the diff/tailshaft flange.

I had this problem aswell. Although mine we treid to adjust the links but to no avail. Ended up sending it back, and getting a new one. Guess that could be an option, or maybe play around with the links a bit and see if it will budge just that little bit more. Good luck.

I can fix it easily. Common problem, Nissan have 2 rear crossmembers they use on R32s.. I don't know the reasons why, and they is no telling which models have it.... I can supply the correct rear sway bars if anyone requires them.

will you exchange for the one i have as it is brand new for one that fits??

Eventually you may have to take it back to where you bought it and ask for a refund as it doesn't fit.

But before that, can you please explain the problem in a little more detail. Nissan seemed to have a habit of using different subframes for no logical reason that I have found. Maybe line the standard bar up with the Whiteline bar and tell me where they are different, measurements are always a help.

As for loading pictures, I load them into my SAU gallery and the nlink to them in the thread.

Cheers

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
