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.

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
