Looks nice Dale!

Whats the final day to get payment in for the group buy? Just had to shell out to the politician's retirement fund, so hoping I can wait until next Thursday?

Here are some pics of the Heavy Duty mounts for the Sway Bars; 5mm extruded 316 Stainless Steel; won't rust, bend or fracture.thumbsup.gif

Or you could just use these...whistling.gif

ill be installing mine this week. they look fantastic!

I thought I had better check the sway bars on my ARX before giving these uprated ones further thought. Haven't found the handling the sort of rolly boat others describe and wondered if they might not be standard.

The back one is 24mm and the front 29mm (measured with rule but should be pretty close - checked with rule in front and behind the bar). Both have just the one hole each end. Does the ARX have a bigger rear sway bar standard? I had read it is only 18mm standard. The 29mm front would match the standard size.

How could you tell if the front is a stock hollow? Tap on it? Seams visible? Cut in half with hack saw? Other?

They sound like the stock ones. From memory stock front is 30mm and rear is 24mm BUT they are hollow. So taping them nay give you the indication.

The GB ones are 32mm front and 27mm rear and both are solid so it is something like 70% stiffer than the factory ones.

Thanks. Will give tapping a try tomorrow.

Did more searching with some success for a change and found posts from 2008 where Sydneykid wrote yours was 18mm rear hollow and he replaced it with 24mm solid?

Anyone else checked what is on their ARX?

Its not as easy as tapping, but there is a massive weight difference. just another way...

Find some corners and pitch it in - you'll find the barge handling in there somewhere :laugh:

Stock bars are; front, hollow;30mm. Rear, hollow; 18mm

Whiteline Group Buy are Front, solid 32mm Blade adjustable. Rear, solid; 20mm Blade adjustable.

Thanks. Will give tapping a try tomorrow.

Correct. I used the same dimensions as the original Sydneykid bars (as fitted to Andy's, and others) 30mm solid front, & 24mm solid rear for my first Group Buy through Signature.

I have no reason to believe the AR-X has different OEM bars to any other NM35, and the part numbers back this up.

Thanks - Seem to have established my rear bar at 24mm is not stock. The front one has exactly the same finish so it might not be as well. Will have a better look for some sort of labelling.

Thanks. Will give tapping a try tomorrow.

Looks like the memory is starting to fail me.... lol

Just a thought... If anyone would post a DIY step-by-step on how to install the Whiteline goodies with as many photos as possible for us noobs, would be real nice of you "gurus"... ;)

Most things like this sort of DIY already exist on the forum.. You just need to search..

I will do some research but with the V35 is the sway bar going to be as noticeable as you guys in the Stageas? I already have BC Racing BR coilovers and a front Strut bar on the way (wonder if i should send it back and get sway bar instead) ? Any thoughts? I take my car mountain runs often and will be going to track

For dollars spent, I believe Sway Bars to be the most beneficial suspension modification you can make to any car.

I'm also running a set of BC's and they made a huge difference, but the Sway Bars are just the icing on the cake.:thumbsup: I'd hang on to the strut brace if I was you.

The V35 should be compatible with the 350Z bars Whiteline already make. If there is demand from the V series guys, I'll run a separate group buy, but so far there hasn't been an overwhelming response to the offer I've already made.

Cheers, Dale.

You have listed quite a few different parts, which ones do you need for front and back and do you need both?

You think its worth keeping the front strut bar and finally can you just add a V35 sway bar to your order :)

Ok guys, we're in the final week of the Group Buy and there are still four spots left :whistling:

There was huge interest in the lead up to this Group Buy and people had been nagging me for months. I'd really like to get it up to the 10.

Anyone who wishes to get on board; I welcome your participation, this is how we demonstrate to Whiteline that our vehicle is worth supporting. There's no point whining about the lask of aftermarket support, then waiting for everyone else to buy in first. We have a proven product; from an Australian company, what more can you ask for?

Be a pioneer; have something all the other Stagea drivers wish they had.

To be honest; if we don't fill this group buy, I'm very sad to say, I don't believe I'll be going to the effort of organising another one.

Thanks again to the guys who got on board and supported this venture, I really appreciate it. You've been a dream to deal with.

Cheers, Dale.

I guess that's the hard thing about organising a GB...you get all these people saying "yeah I want it" but when its time to pony up hardly anyone responds...

I'm looking at doing a Goodridge braided brake lines GB pending results from KV1...but think I can't be bothered dealing with the drama...

Also sucks that it makes you look lame in front of Whiteline as you've done a great deal in pushing them to get a product made for our car and now we can't even get 10 people to buy it! :unsure:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
