anyone has one for sale?

been looking for 1..

heard lots of stuff that the s13 ones dont fit.. (due to sump clearance)

what abt GTR swaybar? would they affect the handling? (mounting points are different)

s13 is the same just go buy em from bursons

ive got an rb engine... i would be perfectly sure if i got sr in mine..

have you tried yourself kris?

there havent been any definite discussions about this one..

ordering it from selbys would be the perfect option, but they went bankrupt right?

The S13 swaybar just touches the sump in a A31.

I belive whiteline took over the selbys line and now are back in action.

so is it actually wearable??

well i went to autobarn and they said they dont make it for a31..

if it touches, it will slam the sump when the swaybar moves does it? if i hit a corner, it will flex for sure

for the ten billionth time, s13 will not fit! neither will anything else. GTR mount points are different (I think) cause of the upper control arm and different knuckle design.

A31 is a unique, one-of shape. I have contacted Fulcrum asking what the f*@# happened to selbys and all they said was they will be producing sway bars using all teh old selbys gear and info but they haven't started producing the sway bars yet. As far as I understand they moved into the old selbys shop in Sydney. I found a web page the other week claiming they have the selbys family working for them, producing custom sway bars. I'll try and find it again.

Mine had a S13 bar in it, compared to a stock ceff swaybar, the part where it bends around the sump area is a few inchs shorter than A31, hence the s13 just touching the sump.

I would be still using it if it didnt foul my 6.5 ltr sump, the stock ceff swaybar also hits my sump :)

Kris has a S13 swaybar in his A31, post so pics up for us man.

s13 will fit the suspension geometry and it will definitely work well with SR20 engine...

currntly stuck wit the rb20 but if i use swaybars exactly for a31 i would still be able to use it for the sr20

so selby is still stuck with the finances...

id take any custom made ones.. i wonder what huddy put on his ceffy

Yes of course it would fit perfectly with an SR... I think thats the whole point we are all trying to make

If any one is interested, all I need Is a standard front sway bar and have it sent to a guy I found to use as a template/sample. Then we can all have actual heavy duty, adjustable 27mm A31 Cefiro swaybars!:P

C'mon people! Real, actual A31 front sway bar!

yep , fits perfect , all you have to do is bolt it to the lca instead of the strut (let the connecting arm hang down instead of up) . simple , so i'm assuming r32/s13 are very similar and should fit , when i start stripping my car down i will take pics and post up a thread instead of spamming lol

do you have the contact number? i saw fulcrum website they said they took selbys and puts them back to life.. but then i emailed them to order it n then nothing happens :s

called them and they said they gonna call me back... dont hear shit from them since then..

if you have any more custom made front sway bar, id be happy to be your trash can :ermm:

oh and is the front tension bar important as well? i saw kris had it fitted on his..

just wanna know if its worth my 150 bucks

      Fender flare widths across front/back of car

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!

      And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
