I have 24mm front and 22mm rear non-adjustable but that's cause I bought them for a steal at $150 for the pair. The car does have a bit more roll than I'd really like but is really very predictable when drifting on track at fairly high speeds (3rd gear 100+km)

Good to get more feedback, but i guess its not just the bars its the whole setup that needs to work together :)

Massive amounts of info here!

My thought process is:

1. Tein work pretty closely with Nissan so therefore my springs are matched nicely

2. Whiteline would test their products before releasing them and therefore HD front should match up to HD rear?

With the adjustable ones, do they set themselves looser or tighter than fixed? ie. does the second mount point go harder or softer than the equivalent fixed bar?

But how do they compare to a fixed bar?

From what you guys are saying, combined with checking out the specs on the site, I'm thinking I might go BNF24Z (Front, HD, 24mm, 4 point adjustable) and BNR11XZ (Rear, XHD, 22mm, 2 point adjustable).

No probs. They compare exactly the same as the fixed bars. The only difference is you have the flexibility to adjust if required. The only reason someone wouldn't get adjustable is if they didn't want to spend the extra. But to me, if your talking $50-60 a bar difference, just get adjustable and know that you can swap it around if required. I've never adjusted mine after installation, but one day it might be fun to try out and see what different settings do.

Errr man, that is a bit big.... What you measuring boi? :P

I would like to see how such big bars go anywhere near the body mounting locations!!

FWIW, it pays to remember that bar stiffness goes up with the 4th power of diameter. On that basis a 33mm bar is more than twice as stiff as a 27mm bar, and a 27 is already more than twice as stiff as a 22. Ergo, a 33 would be simply massive stiffness on a road car. Massive.

Check measurement with proper vernier required.

hrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmm well i used a ruler and then measuring tape...still got the same measurements. maybe i need to go back to primary school? totally fine with someone coming to check them out for me too =)

Lolololol..... All good, but i think your "tools" are a bit primitive :P

Good point my setup is as follows:

BC BR Coilovers 8kg F 6kg R (whatever the standard spring rates are believe that is correct)

Whiteline swaybars as before (24mm F 22mm R)

I also have lock collars for rear subframe (whether that makes a difference)

Adjustable arms all over and locked out my hicas

Similar setup to mine but i have the 27mm and 24mm bars...

What about 24 at the front and an adjustable 24 mm at the rear?

Per my first reply in this thread I have 24mm adjustables front and rear on an R32. So, not an R34, and therefore possibly a bit different. Nevertheless, having recently replaced all the other suspension components on my car (the new springs being a bit stiffer than the old ones) the adjustables are set the same as before (hard at front, soft at rear) my car has a definite tail happy characteristic mid corner. I take that to mean that what I posted in my first reply is even more valid than before - which is that your mileage may vary. What result you get really does depend on everything else in the car. R34s seem to require a little more bar at the front. So if it were me thinking about fitting 24s front and rear on a 34, I would still only do so with adjustables both ends so that I can add stiffness at the front as well as remove it at the rear.

If I were running stiff coilovers on a 34, I think I wouldn't go further than 24F22R (adjustable). If I were running Kings or similar springs that are not much firmer than stock, then I might prefer 27F24R (both adjustable still).

I don't see the value in saving a few $ on buying a fixed bar if there is an adjustable bar available. If you buy the fixed, you have to live with the result. You'll never know if it could have been just a bit nicer if you'd been able to adjust it.

      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.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
