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

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.

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.

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
