Arc (Auto Refine) R32/s13 Sway Bar Group Buy!


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Just got off the phone with ARC (the other ARC, auto-refine, not Abbey Road; common misconception) who make the hollow-type sway bars.

These are awesome sway bars, made in Japan of the highest materials.

The rear sway bar compatible with the HCR32 (R32 GTS-t) and S13 (Silvia) is technically discontinued, but if I order in batches of 10~15 of them they are willing to reprint some for us!

Price for this rear sway bar is 54,000 JPY a piece. ARC sway bars are extremely rigid and thick, but are hollow for weight savings.

Compatibility:

HCR32 (R32 GTS-t and other 2wd R32 variants)

S13 Silvia

We can also order the front sway bar for the HCR32 should you want a matching set. The price is 43,500 per unit, and there is no minimum quantity. There is no front bar available for the S13 Silvia.

Pictured is what is included in a typical ARC kit. This particular image is of the Z32 bars.

I will give 3 months for us to fill the 10~15 rear bar threshold.

These are coming direct from ARC (Auto-Refine) @ auto refine.co.jp

They will be shipped to you, anywhere in the world, at your expense.

You can contact me by PM or by email at mvevitsis at icloud.com

disclaimer: I am not making money on this sale. The amount you will be charged is the exact amount the item costs plus shipping. I just want one for myself, and need some friends to come along for the ride.

Please let people at other forums know to contact me if they wish to get an ARC bar.

Thanks!

I've got ARC swaybars front (fixed) and rear (adjustable) on my R34, they are rare and work a treat. Definitely a quality product.

But 54k yen is like $535 + shipping would be a fair chunk too, ouch :unsure:

They're pricey, but that's the original price they retailed for years ago.

This is for someone who appreciates the made in Japan quality.

Also, it is very hard to get a set of these and very few companies made *hollow* sway bars for the R32 GTS and S13.

Hollow gives you the benefit of increased weight savings.

Largus also made a set, but these are long discontinued as well.

Tanabe ones were not of particularly high quality

and KTS only makes the rear (no front).

PS These are 3 point adjustable in the rear so you can adjust your trim settings. The front is fixed.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
