I've e-mailed Selby's Sway Bars and asked for them to confirm the diameters of the front and rear swaybars.

I'll advise tomorrow if I hear from them :P

Works out at $250 a swaybar so total of $500 supplied, not bad really.

that's a little more than Sydneykid was quoting when he first did mine. I think the quote was about $460 for the set then.

$450 for swaybars groupbuy and I'm in.

I dunno about the rear wing though (angus), I love that rear aero though. You can have then wing and I'll take the rear bumper :blink:

and on the photos of the stock or not swaybars stephen - if they were anything other than stock someone would have offered to swap for your tred old standard ones (if you get my drift :P)

I have absolutely no idea who you are talking about ;)

Oooooh. you mean the guy with the "Will f*#k for Stagea parts" shirt :D

I spoke with Gary and he said there was a group buy in the making??

but selbys website says about 550 both delivered perhaps a bit more with gst..

gary said 230 each delivered.

perhaps the group buy is for c34's? as no body knows about it here?

lol its not like stephen needs to use the swaybars anyway. he has a child seat in his car!!!!

Technically I don't, it's in the R31 at the moment :) Sheesh that ugly green monster called jealousy rears it's butt ugly head again :)

Selby's has them for $250 a piece plus delivery, no option of pick-up??! I just got an email back from them and they havn't been very helpful, they seem to think the measurements on the website are correct and it's because the factory one's are hollow and these are solid, hence the smaller diameter.

Someone want to measure Andy's just to make sure? ahem.. his sway bars that is.

Nothing going officially, but you can definitely organise something with Gary.

Yeah, would love to have this clarified.

When you have the time, would you mind measuring the diameter of your swaybars Andy?

Ok, It is wet in Sydney so I have done the best I can tonight without getting soaked getting under the back of the car to check the rear.

The Front is 30mm (measured with calipers) as I originally advised and am confident to say the rear's are also as advised 27mm.

Gary (Sydneykid) is very accurate with his information and is very care full to ensure the correct information is posted and the right item was built to improve the car.

Yes, solid is stiffer than hollow.

Gary is no longer running Selby so maybe some "ass monkey" (love this term) has decided in their wisdom to reduce the size to save cost or they are just wrong.

If you are going to upgrade I would recommend going with Gary's original specs.

Tell Selby they have it all wrong.......LOL :P

LOL I hadn't heard the term "ass monkey" until I brought a few of the latest Ministry albums :P

I was emailing the pimply teenager with no t!t$ from the front desk I would say lol Maybe I need to speak to someone more knowledgable. Sorry if the above mentioned is anyone's sister or girlfriend lol

I asked for it to be double-checked but I think I was wasting my breath!!

I don't really want to pay for them to be manufactured to find some "ass monkey" has gone and reduced the diameter.

I would go elsewhere but there are not many other options within Australia.

I have sent Gary a PM to see if he can give any clarification.

Mine were made in April 08, so maybe they all became light weights and reduced the specs. I don' know? LOL

Will let you know when I hear back.

OK, Sydneykid can do a group buy if enough people will do it.

He will have them made to the specs he previously posted.

So if you want the 30mm front and 27mm rear, Pm Sydney kid.

Do I take this as confirmation that Selby's did reduce the size of the sway bars?

If not, and it's just the wrong information on their site I will wait until I am ready. With the Nismo S-Tune mine handles find so I won't worry about Sway Bars until after the highflow, exhaust & ecu.

Do I take this as confirmation that Selby's did reduce the size of the sway bars?

Yes, I would say they are ass monkeys. LOL (who would up grade to a smaller bar, perhaps softer)

The only certain way of getting swaybars as per Gary's spec is to order with Gary.

I wanted all the handling mods done first, then performance. Getting a price on the exhaust tomorrow, did you get a quote from Charleston? Maybe we can ht them up for a 2 car price if you are ready to do it?

I'm not ready for the exhaust, I'll combine the turbo and exhaust all in one hit. I need to get the funds and then co-ordinate it. I believe they are going to see the dump pipe early next week so hopefully they will be able to whack something together and save me importing from Japan.

I didn't get any estimate

I didn't get any estimates yet as they were waiting to see the dump pipe, I'll probably keep the muffler and just have the rest of the exhaust replaced. I'll have to try and get some flow specs on the muffler somehow.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
