hey all

recently bought a selby sway bar for 32gtst.

here are the specs related to problem:

nismo 2way - but in a s14 diff case, had to make/get bushes made up for the 2 large bolts (just before the tail shaft) as the hole sizes are different to 32 diffs.

rb25 engine + box

custom tail shaft

recently added rear cradle bushes set to 'overall performance'

pictures tell alot:

see how the stock sway bar allows much more room for the tailshaft then the selby item does

sway bar rubbing tail shaft

the yellow marks the sway bar left on the tailshaft bolts

where the tail shaft rubs on the car floor thingy

30042008002.jpg

and the marks left after removal of sway bar

30042008003.jpg

heres my process of elimination:

either the s14 diff makes the tailshaft hang higher then 32 diff casing - any ideas?

or

the sway bar is the wrong one - turns out its the right one BUT as u can clearly see, its to tall and to close to tail shaft

or

i tried putting washers on one side to try and 'push' the bar to the left allowing more space for the tail shaft - failed, the bushes in the link just compress and bring it back to its original position

or

it was something to do with the modification of the tail shaft to fit the rb25 box

or

i have no freekin idea..

took it back to the suspension shop i bought it from, they said they will have to try fit it

just want the bloody thing to have less body roll :(

any ideas would be greatly appreciated

That doesn't like like one of ours, ie; not a Selbys Swaybar, it looks like a Signature swaybar. Where did you buy it from?

Cheers

i got it from Centreline suspension, only reason i didnt buy it off you was because i needed it asap...

came in the selbys box with stickers invoice ect ect

do you know the right model number for front and rear r32 gtst?

The black standard bar in the picture doesn't look like a normal R32GTST rear bar. Have you changed the subframe in your car? We had another one recently where it had a different (than normal) subframe. The owner was convinced it hadn't had a subframe change, but it was certainly not a normal R32GTST subframe. Maybe Nissan up to their random spare parts bin tricks. From memory we sent him an R32GTR rear swaybar and it fitted up OK, I will check when I get to work on Monday and let you know.

it makes sense because i had to change the rear left control arm, bought one off a r32 gtst, but the gtst had some cone shaped ball joint thing that didnt fit into my hub... ended up having to hack sawing the metal cone thingy off so it was just one long bolt into the hub.

i bought a rear sway bar for my 32 gtst of you a while ago gary.

When i fitted mine the tailshaft rubbed on it, the same as what DjeMz's is in the second pic, but it didnt rub on the floor

i found some 5mm alloy plate and made up some spacers for the "D" bush's to space them down, so now the sway bar doesn't hit when driving, just when i jack the back up the bar pivots enough to rub the tailshaft bolts.

does this effect the way the sway bar works?

when i installed the sway bar i also put on some 18x10 +17s... so i thought it was that rubbing but i noticed it wasnt withing the next 5 sec after i stopped breaking lol.

have u sorted out ur issue or do u just keep driving like that?

Nope, no effect on how the bar works.

The rear bar can rub on cars that are very low, what is the ride height on yours?

As many of you know I have an R32GTST myself, it's a 1990 model M Spec and the master we use to make the swaybars is identical in shape to the OE bar I took of it when I upgraded. As a race car it is about as low as possible whilst retaining decent suspension geometry and it has a 90 mm GReddy titanium exhaust. So if the swaybar fits it, it should fit any R32GTST with the same subframe. Nissan seems to have been in the habit of using a few different rear subframes in R32GTST's and/or lots of cars have had their subframes swapped before they made it to Australia. The most common I have seen so far is the R32GTS4 rear subframe.

Anyway back to fixing DjeMz's problem, the OE bar in the picture looks like an R32GTS4 rear bar. If you PM me your address I will send you a Selbys SNR35A (in 22mm) to try. If it fits OK simply put the SNR26A in the box (that the SNR35A came in) and I will arrange for it to be returned.

Cheers

sydney kid, you are a bloody legend, PM sent mate. if u ever come to melb, drinks are on me!

the car was pretty legal ride height when i installed the bars, after it didnt fit, felt like lowering the tien hrs all the way to the bottom (well could have gone about an inch worth of turns) so at least something got done lol.

tried it again with the bushes after it was on low, still same result unfortunately.

received the sway bar, thank heaps again, ill try either put it in tonight or tomorrow night.

how do i ship it back... just through aus post or the same blokes that it came from?

If it fits OK simply put the SNR26A in the box (that the SNR35A came in) and I will arrange for it to be returned.

All you have to do is stick an address label (Superior Suspension, 4 Lincoln St Minto NSW 2566) on the box and let me know when its ready

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
