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.

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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
