Sooo, I've done several Group Buys for Sway Bars now, and they've all gone very well, but I haven't really catered for you guys :blush:

Are any of you C34 drivers after Sway Bars or Whiteline alignment parts?

Feel free to post in this thread or send me a PM; I'm happy to help.

Cheers, Dale.

I'm not really clued up as to the differences in the subframes among the different models, so I'll have to defer to the more experienced guys on that. I'm going to have to pay more attention.:blush:

If we can ascertain what subframe it is; I'm sure we can find a bar to suit.:thumbsup:

my mate bought a 33 that was originally a gts (non turbo but converted in japland with turbo everything except rear way bar) all the mounting points were there under the car and on the lower suspension arms so we bolted a whiteline bar in there

Check out the Cusco ones while you're at it - may or may not be more expensive.

Had a quick look at their website - bars are about AU$350 but they don't seem to list Stagea ones so onoly the Sklyline ones known to fit would be of interest. Probably Aussie made ones would be a better bet.

$350? I'll be able to smoke that pricethumbsup.gif Should be around $230-$240ish.

^^ agreed.

can also use R33 GTR swaybar on front

Thanks for the tip; I'll get some prices together.

Cheers, Dale.

I'd be keen for front and rear AWD swaybars, anyone got recommendations for which thickness to go for on the rear one?

I would tend toward the 24mm due to the extra weight in the rear (a lot of glass & steel high up in the body) and this will also tend to reduce understeer.

I'm not really familiar with the handling bias of the C34 but I would imagine it is understeer biased.

Feel free to correct me.

Good prices!

Sway bars are the best bang for buck investment in handling. Worthwhile for a stock or modified Stagea. Improves cornering no end and there in NO DOWNSIDE - no harsh ride or other problems.

I have the 24mm solid rear which is a big upgrade on the stock but would not suggest a smaller one.

For the front the SK kit had 24mm made to special order but the 22mm should be ok as there is a tendency to understeer.

NB I painted mine black as even though they are an upgrade with no implications for reduced safety (the opposite in fact) they are considered a "modification" that might incur unwanted attention.

Does powdercoating void warranty? I've been enquiring about powdercoating rims and one dude said that it would compromise its structural integrity..

i'm pretty sure powder coating ovens wouldn't get anywhere near hot enough to affect the heat treatment of the metal used.

    • 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.
