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.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
