Hey Guyz,

Just acquired an R34 GTR Vspec and looking to upgrade both front & rear swaybars to some aftermarket goodies.

There seems to be a decent variation in bar diameter when comparing Nismo (Has a 27mm fixed rear s/bar) to Whiteline (22/24mm adjustable) or example and wondering what others are using and current Front vs Rear setup including alignment.

Obviously your setup is relative to your preferred driving style and cars intentions (street vs track vs both) but would appreciate

any info to review.

Cheers,

Ben

Your heading down the right path,the sizes vary between manufractures

of sway bars because some are hollow and some are solid hence the

different sizes.I can't speak for the R34 but I had whiteline adj front and

rear on my R32 and transformed the car completely.My preferred set

up was full hard on the back and full soft front.Would highly recommend

getting adjustable though so can tailer it to your driving.As for wheel

alignment maybe search on the forum for others experience's with the

R34 but remember the wheel alignment has a huge part to do with the

extra fine tuning of the cars handling.

Thanks for the response Grunter. I would have thought the Nismo bars are a solid bar but it's certainly a good question to clarify vs Whiteline which are definetely a solid bar.

Surely there are some R34 GTR owners out there that have upgraded their swaybars?

Cheers,

Ben

Also very interested in what ppl are using. i have used whitline before on a wrx and was happy with resullt but due to being solid they re rather heavy. do like that they are adjustable and descent price.

Are ppl using the local goods or finding the jap stuff better.

Really need to do this as m spec has smaller dia swaybars than v spec for comfort reasons.....stupid!

also alignment recommendations from Jim - on whiteline website for r34 gtr

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
