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 :)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
