Hey, So I want to purchase some swaybars. I contacted a sponsor on GTRC and he told me about the Tanabe ones. They would run around $450 CAD (approx $466AUD) without shipping from Japan. Now I am also interested in the Whiteline swaybars, because they are adjustable to my needs and the Tanabe ones are static. My car is currently being built up as a hillclimb track car, so the more fine tuning the better. I also have a fair amount of body roll with my KYB shocks and RS*R springs and I want to pretty much eliminate it.

I was just wanting to know how much the adjustable Whitelines (beefy the better) with urethane bushings would run with Shipping to Vancouver, BC, Canada. If there are any sponsors here who can hook me up with a full price quote and approx ETA to ship them here that would be awesome!

Car is a 1992 HCR32.

Thanks,

Aaron

Yup get in touch with a member on here called sydneykid. Good guy that's been doing group buys/distro for the past few years. He's super busy and his PM inbox may be full, but just keep trying and it'll get through. There are threads in the For Sale (Group Buys) forum as well, so you can post there too.

Yes I got in contact with him. He PM'ed back, hopefully we can figure something out with shipping because if I read correctly he was quoted $450 JUST for Shipping to Vancouver, Canada.

Crazy. The main problem is there are NO swaybars in Canada, so they would be either coming from Japan or AUS. So either way I'm going to be paying out of my arse.

Buy Ozzie mate. No contest. :)

Oh, I had no idea you were in Canada. Should've read the whole post. :) Surely you can do better than sourcing from the other side of the world? None available in the US? They're odd shaped items so shipping will likely be pricey from all distributors this side of the globe.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
