Hi all. So I've had a bit of a look around on the site and I think I've worked some stuff out. But still have a few Q's.

Q1. Does the Stag share all Suspension Arms and Bushes with the 33GTR or just some of the bushes?

Q2. I've heard that there is not much gain from fitting a new Front Swaybar so I was just gona get the rear (probs Whiteline). True/False?

Q3. I was just gona use Sydneykids Part Numbers from his Group Buy. These should still be correct shouldnt they?

I did a search of the part numbers he used on the Whiteline website and they come up so assume they will still be fine.

I'll be going into a few suspension places on the weekend and getting a few quotes etc. But I just wanted some thing to go in with. Cause as we all know their gona go "It's a What" :)

< As you can see its a RS Four S.

Thanks to all in advance.

I will let you all know what the suspension places say.

True for me. I bought the rear one and it made a huge difference. Put the front one on a few months later but I didn't notice any significant improvement. Other people's experience may be different.

Q1. Im in the same boat as you mate :) No idea

Q2. You have the stockie on? it is after all just a length of metal, I like the front one on if for nothing else but fighting the torque monster.

Get a rear one though, it makes a huge difference

RS4S has a larger rear swaybar (24mm hollow) so the upgrade to the whiteline 24mm solid bar isn't as big a jump as the auto versions. The increase in rate is something like 70% (from memory) from hollow to solid bar. It doesn't make a huge difference like on the autos.

I am having a senior moment regarding the change in front bars.

SK's part numbers should be fine, Use tein s-tech springs. I am running 24mm swaybars front and rear, feels nicely balanced, order shocks from heasmans sydney and the rest of the stuff locally, get the swaybars from SELBY as that is the company SK used to get them made by.

I upgraded my rear sway bar with a White Line item... had that flimsy 19mm hollow thing now to a 24mm solid. WORLD of difference. Handles like a Sedan :happy:

One thing I did note when ordering, ALL GTR bars are the same. If you check BOTH Selby and White Line sites ALL the GTRs have the same part numbers/options. I also cross referenced the Stagea listing on the Selby site, same numbers!

For what ever reason why some one would, you could bolt up a solid 27mm item. As the Skylines also share

the same design as their GTS / GTT counter parts.

front and rear bars made a huge difference for me but I've got a S1 Auto. You don't even have to really replace the springs straight away if you don't want to. The standard rates are quite good as it is and a little more comfortable as well. Depends if you planning on lowering it a lot or just a bit. You can still lower the car with the stock springs as your moving the lower spring seat. Order the bilsteins from heasmans and get them to machine extra circlip grooves in so you have some more height settings to play with, get the bushes from whiteline and and bars from selby. You should be able to order all the parts yourself and then just take them into which ever shop you choose to install the gear for you. But if you do plan on changin the springs as someone else said the tein s-tech springs seem to be quite popular. Might be quicker than getting whiteline to make some up.

Hey Guys probs should have said that I already have full adjustable coilovers all round. Its already lowered and quite a hard ride. So i'm only lookin at gettin bushes and swaybar. Hopfully if putting a new rear bar on it will stiffen up the rear enough so i can soften the suspension up a tad.

Out of interest, what Coilovers are you running?

Im running 'Super Flex Wagon by Tien' direct out of Japan (not Aus specs) with 6kg springs.

I personally wasnt very impressed, but the new rear sway bar brought the bar up that much

more to make me satisfied. Although, I wouldnt mind it a little bit stiffer :D

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
