hey im about to purchase some sway bars ( r33 gtst )and was wondering what size would be for everyday driving and occasional track days?

i was thinking 24 mm front and 22mm back (whiteline)

would this be ok?

do all bushes come with whiteline sways or they need to be purchased separate?

i have searched but couldnt find anything on sizes :D

i have just fitted 24mm adjustable front and 24mm adjustable rear to my R32 skyline and they are excellent.

biggest you can get from whiteline for the 32 - well worth the money and effort to put them in

not too stiff - perfect balance for street to match the bilstein shocks and whiteline springs i had previously fitted

I just chucked some onto the car on the weekend. BNF24X Front and BNR11X on the rear. So should be a 27mm front and 22mm rear. (these are the ones Sydneykid recomendded from his group buy). I'll let you know how they go, havnt driven the car yet.

Ok i quickly went for a drive, very impressed however now i dont really know the limit of the car. Will have to take it up the mountain tomorrow to get used to the new setup. While driving straight there are no downsides, if anything the car feels more solid and together. When going into a turn the car is just flat, incredibly flat. There is no sign of roll and its a bit weird to describe, you can't feel when the car is going to let go it just holds and you plant your foot and it just keeps holding until finally it starts to understeer (Bloody front heavy skylines!). Ill play around with the dampening tomorow night and take it for a good spin. Might get a wheel allignment aswell to make sure everything is in order since these and the HICAS lock bar install.

So far very happy :D

I thought you had it wrong PM-R33. But it looks like you're right. its 27mm.

from Whiteline site:

F Swaybar 24mm-h/duty Blade adjustable BNF24Z

F Swaybar 24mm-heavy duty BNF24

F Swaybar 27mm-X heavy duty BNF24X

Which is weird, coz that part number on the SK group buy was a 24mm.

Now i'm curious. Were the group buy front bars 24mm or 27mm?

Well in the Stagea suspension thread Sydneykid took pics of the boxes and they definetely said BNF24X so i'd assume he ment the 27mm ones and maybe just got mistaken calling them 24mm because there was a 24 in the part number. Maybe he can comment.

Is there such a thing as having too thick of a swaybar?

I think the stocks might be 20?

im sure ive got Whiteline 24mm front and back, have to check, but the front still has a tiny little bit of body roll but certainly no understeer like PM-R33 describes, i just get grip grip grip oversteer weeeeeeeeeee.

It might have just been the sharp corner i took or something on the wheel allignment might be out since i fitted the HICAS bar. I'll get the toe on the car checked while getting an allignment and ill have a proper play tonight :)

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
