Installed my whiteline front swaybar today

managed to pick it up for $175 s/h with the hd links on it too

with the old one out I was a little disappointed that they seemed to be the same diameter

but the mounting points for the links are closer to the pivot (less lever arm therefore stiffer bar) and the whiteline bar is solid where i guess the stock one is hollow

It was actually really easy to change, i didn't even jack the car up, just moved it onto the curved part of our driveway so the nose was off the ground a bit

Got bored this arvo so I threw one of these in my car

But unfortunately I've imposed a ban on driving my car until some other parts arrive, which will hopefully be this week - and THEN I can find out if it makes any difference :ninja:

Don't you have an emanage that needs to go in?

And yes, I'm aware of the irony of that comment. :P

Put your car on a dyno in case the afrs and timing are all wrong. Presumably its not the tunable type?

Its not tunable, but I doubt the afrs will be too far out. No doubt it also still runs a closed loop system, monitoring and self-tuning via the O2 sensor.

Sooooo your the one that got that! I thought it went to LEKS! Bastard! :P

haha so thats who I was bidding against :whistling: Fortunately, another quality part has come to Australia rather than Russia!

About bloody time Dunc!

I've been busy :ninja:

I cant do an Emanage install in 20 minutes :P

and yes, severe irony noted. You got that intake done yet? *ducks*

Funny you should mention that. Goes in tomorrow.

Also noticed now that the informeter is back in injectors are at 95%... Fuel reg is going in.

Spoken to the tuner too. Booked out for a month.

I haven't had my fcon as long as you've had your emanage :whistling:

So you're booked for 1 months time then? :)

If you take out the 9 months I was completely without my car, it's probably equal :P

Not booked in, waiting for confirmation from him.

You had 9 months of car off road to install emanage?

if only! You can still see my car in the crash repairers yard on google maps :D I cant wait till they update that tile one over summer.

R33 gtr strut brace should fit seeing my 260rs has one fitted from factory! Looks exactly the same as my mates on his gtr

Is anyone able to verify this 100%?

Thinking I'll get the HKS brace for my car, but don't want to spend that much only to find it won't fit...

Alternatively, if anyone has a R33 GTR on the Gold Coast, and was willing to spend a few minutes testing...

The strut brace on my 260RS is a spot on match for the one on a mates 33 GTR, I've had his in my engine bay to check this for myself and I'm going to order a 33 brace soon.

Put the hdi ebx back on.... Have lost boost on stall launch but when the boost does come on its f$&king scary.

My head down for another tune then out to eastern creek for a run.

Thanks for that; much appreciated!

Its not tunable, but I doubt the afrs will be too far out. No doubt it also still runs a closed loop system, monitoring and self-tuning via the O2 sensor.

The only self tuning the ecu does via the O2 sensor is at idle and cruise. As soon as you put your foot down the O2 sensor has no influence whatever so you really need to know what your afrs are at WOT and a check on the timing would be good as well.

The M35 ecu's definitely seem to self tune to a much higher load than the earlier cars Bob, and anything after 2004 should have a factory wideband sensor allowing the ecu full control of the map + or - 10%.

I agree though, it's a very smart idea to run a separate wideband for safety and nothing beats a tuned standalone if it's available.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
