The number I quoted was from the horses mouth (John??) when Whiteline replaced the rear bar on the RS4S all those years ago because the first one didn't fit. Admittedly the number is from memory. I am not sure whether they tested the factory bar or not but I reckon it was his best guess.

It will be interesting to see what Whiteline come back with.

Dude, not disagreeing with you on this at all. I'm sure you are right on the money. :thumbsup:

There was a spreadsheet I saw a while back on the forum; but I can't seem to dig it up right now.

Hmmm. I'm guessing the rear ones are 260RS compatible (since you list 2WD). Can you confirm?

The 260RS has the narrow subframe right? The rear will be fine if that's the case.

In reply to those concerned about the suitability of the GB bars for Auto applications; I've appropriated some images to illustrate the difference. The knowledgable C34 owners have told me the difference in width is 50mm (wider on Autos, narrow on manuals) the bar is narrow to suit the GTR subframe.

Disregard the text; it relates to the thread length on the links from the original thread.

As you can see the links do sit at an angle, but using the H/D Ball Links in the GB would see them not anywhere near as stressed; due to there increased articulation.

The horizontal thread is 35mm in length, what I'm proposing is for those that need it; I will supply a pair of 12mm long Stainless Steel spacers to fit on the thread to correct the angular misalignment.

This will still leave plenty of thread to lock the nuts on and the thread is High Tensile anyway (no bending). It won't completely eliminate the misalignment, but it will drastically reduce it. They'll cost $10.

Let me know what you think.

Thus far, there have been no orders made for bars; I am surprised at the lack of interest. The C34 Stagea owners that have bars fitted appear very satisfied with the results and have been very encouraging; I am at a loss to know why others would not the same benefit.

Cheers, Dale.

Hi Dale

I am interested in these but unlikely to have the money before the 15th (waiting on the tax man). What would I be looking at for a full kit posted to Tassie 7250?

Thanks

Tim

how much are they if you double up that tassie postage?

I'm limited to 20kg max, by auspost. A pair of bars swings in at 14kg. Give me a postcode, & I'll PM you; it's cheaper than you think.

Cheers, Dale.

      I am well aware as I did rant at him to buy a MX5, buy the 2.5 before he DIY'ed it, etc as well as do things to the holden. He will obtain a ND. It's the best of both worlds. They look great in person, definitely the best looking one. Just a matter of time now.

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
