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 :)

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
