On my S1 RS4T the rear anti-roll bar was about 18 or 20mm in diameter and hollow. I replaced it with a stock Whiteline item: BNR11 XX which was 24mm thick and solid steel. It gave a great improvement in cornering. I don't know if the bar I mentioned is a GTR bar but if so you should be fine. I believe S1 and S2 bars are the same - can't remember what the "V" in your car stands for. Can you get a hold of the GTR bar and (a) measure the diameter and (b) offer it up under your car to see if it has the same profile as your current bar? Or alternatively find a shop with a Whiteline catalogue and see if the reference i gave above is for an R33 GTR.

V = Auto

I currently have a 33gtr sway bar set sitting in my shed, the rear cradle on the auto stagea is wider than a GTR.

With some custom brackets, you could probably fit it, but with the standard GTR U clamps, it isn't going to happen

I haven't tried to fir my rear bar yet, some people reckon it fits and the link angles are dodgy but acceptable. Big Fella tried and reckons it won't work at all.

When I find some rubbers to suit I'll give it a bash, failing that I'll wait for someone to organise a groupbuy for custom to suit :P

I spoke with brad about this a while back. lol. front fits but back doesnt on an auto. im awaiting a confirmation from whiteline. :wacko:

I've come across posts on here of people getting them to fit and just living with the link angles with no adverse results..

Did you see chuckie's rear solid swaybar when it was off Lyle? He got it off Brad. fits perfectly, so ive been told. Think it was whiteline.

Thanks for all the replies guys. It seems a whiteline bar suitable for a GTR will fit with the links at an angle, but not a factory GTR rear bar. This is what I find strange, why does a whiteline bar for a 33gtr fit but not a factory one ?

It doesn't.

Get the right bar from Car Torque - I had them custom made based on my S1 RSFV factory bar.

And FWIW;

V!=auto

V=option pack with 16" wheels, body kit, and some extra electric goodies.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
