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.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
