Wow, they didn't come from the factory with a rear sway bar! :cool:

Anyway, quick search (which OP should have done):

Still doesn't say whether there are any holes there though ...

thanks, i did do a search and read that same thread some time ago, and yeah like you said, doesnt mention the pre-existence of mounting holes,

ive had a look and found some holes in the right spot (i think) but they dont appear to be threaded? should they be threaded or would the bolt need its own nut on the back?

and also, how hard is it to get the bar btw the car's under body and the exhaust pipe? especially if its a 2.5 pipe thats using the factory mounts, should there be enough clearence to wedge it thru?

thanks again.

I have a 3 inch cat back and I had to drop it to fit the rear sway bar on my R34 GTT.

Hmmm not sure if the holes need to be threaded??

ok good to know, cheers

so the bolts have their own nuts on the back? i thought they might have bolted into the chassis

the holes are already there & are threaded, its as if nissan forgot to bolt the swaybar in.

just buy the rear swaybar mounts & links from a GTST/GTT, and get your swaybar and bolt it up.

i done the exact same thing but upgraded to poly mounts & a GTR swaybar which is thicker

awesome, thanks a heap

You're thinking rear strut brace.

Almost all cars have a rear sway bar, and not having one is a major handling downer. It would be a good upgrade for any NA owner who was unlucky enough not to get one from the factory.

i heard theres no point putting in a rear sway bar in skylines because of the way the suspension etc

i was told this also but for the front STRUT bar also - the shop said 'wont do much cos of the suspsension design'

well i just put one on and its a massive difference, not only is the front end stiffer, but as a result of the new stiffness pushing down on each corner i can even feel the front suspension tracking over bumps better and not lifting the front corners of the car

but yeah im pretty sure the rears are pointless, - on our sedans anyways

do the mounting brackets on this bar look buggered to any one on here? its one some guy is selling but im sure it looks like some steel is missing from the mounts around the bolt holes, but he says they are good condition factory mounts, but he also says its a 23mm bar, would factory mounts even fit that thick of a bar?

any opinions on the condition of those mounts?

don't know the size but best to get it off a wrecked car so it comes with all the bolts.

alternatively, ring your local jap wrecker and ask them for the bolts holding the rear swaybar mounts up.

rubber bush looks but and they're cheap to replace anyway.

if you were in syd id give u my old swaybar + mounts.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
