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:

i could be interested pending prices

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.

Cheers mate; I aim to please!

Best description of the benefit of fitting Sway Bars :thumbsup:

Mine are also powdercoated Black; stealth FTW!

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.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
