so going from stock, what diameter would be best suited as an upgrade for an R32GTST?

currently have coilvoers, adjustable upper arms and am getting castor rods in this week - hoping to install the castor rods and sway bars at the same time but i don't know much about suspension.

What type and diamter are you guys running on your R32 gtst's? And what diameter are the stock ones?

cheers

hahaha, The whiteline factory is only 2km away from my house on the C coast. :banana:

im getting

Swaybar - Extra Heavy duty blade adjustable 22m (front) =$195

Swaybar - Extra Heavy duty blade adjustable 22m (rear) =$220.50

Swaybar link kit - Spherical rod end (front) =$117

Swaybar link kit - Spherical rod end (rear) =$153

Seeing as its a GTS-4 i had to get all the GTR products but its still cheap.

getting the top of the line swaybars and links. Because of the discount it makes it that cheap and there standard swaybars and links cost more than the price im getting there best ones for :D

I keep hearing better stuff and even more popularity with whiteline nowdays.

(SAME AS THE R33 GTR AND GTS-4)

Swaybar - Extra Heavy duty blade adjustable 22m (front) BNF27Z

Swaybar link kit - Spherical rod end (front) KLC008

Swaybar link kit - Spherical rod end (rear) KLC009

(THE ONLY THING DIFFERENCE IS THE REAR SWAYBAR, ITS MADE IN A SIZE 24mm ONLY SO YOU WILL HAVE 22mm ON THE FRONT AND 24mm ON THE BACK)

I don't think you do ...just checked the web site and it states those parts are for "RACE USE ONLY".

What's the price difference between the adjustable and non-adjustable, does anyone know? Is it worth the extra dough for the adjustable ones? Somehow I suspect once these things are on the car most people would never "adjust" anything..

edit: NO price diff for adj./non adjs apparently according to web site, $229 for a GTT front sway bar + gst.

That's only a warehouse at Somersby, the swaybars aren't manufactured there.

The rear at 22 mm is too small, I always use a 24 mm on the 4wd's

Make sure to fit the dust covers plus greaze and regularly service the spherical links, otherwise they will wear out very fast and knock like crazy.

I need an honest opinion here... would swaybars improve handling for a daily? Or is it only for maniacs who like to take every single corner at high speed?

ABSOLUTELY they improve handling for a daily. They're the best bang for buck handling mod IMO.

u will notice the car sitting a lot more flat, the ride wont be compromised, but in tight parking situations with unlevel ground u will notice more inside wheel lift and the wheel spinning freely (unless u have a mech LSD or locker)

another question: ive picked up a set of sway bars(front seems to be 27mm, rear about 24mm) the on the rear part where it bolts to what i call the link, is vertical rather than horizontal. is there somesort of link kit for this, or have i just got the wrong one. The part came off a 2 door r33, trying to fit to r33 4 door.

what about bumps/potholes though on a daily ? My understanding of the way antisway bars work is if you hit a pot hole say mid roundabout it would be worse than without them ? Happens a lot in the inner city ..seems whenever I turn, wherever I turn there are friggin potholes

You have a shock absorber problem not a swaybar problem.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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 🍻
