Nissan are retarded. The rwd stagea also had no rear bent bar thing either

Surely someone with a gtt who has upgraded their bar will feel sorry for you and give you theirs!

Which is actually the same as all skylines and s chassis cars. (Nearly, as a disclaimer so I don't get sued)

I have a stock auto R32 one at home which is 14mm or somesuch flimsy size. You could fit that and possibly not cause it to oversteer off the road.

If you do go buy a big Whiteline rear bar, then you simply must buy an even bigger front bar to go with it. Do not match an uprated Whiteline rear with the stock front one. If you make that mistake it will become an oversteery monster and flick you off the road into a tree sideways or backwards.

By the way, when I referred to your car as a RWD Camry, I wasn't attacking it. I was explaining why it doesn't have a rear ARB. If you were Nissan, making a RWD Camry that you knew that the buyers would only ever creep around city corners at low speed because they can't drive anyway, would you bother fitting an ARB to it? Answer, you wouldn't.

When I attack an NA Skyline for being a frustratingly slow bucket of shit that looks like it should be able to go fast but can't, you'll sure know about it, because it will be patently clear. I mean, turbo Skylines can easily be made fast enough to run with pretty much any car on the road in a straight line, but the thing about Skyline suspension design is that it isn't that great. They just don't handle as well as they should/could. And they can't be made to handle as well as they should/could either. They always fall short of expectation. Sure, they aren't bad, but they are nowhere near the top of the field. So, just for interest's sake, let's say someone bought an NA Skyline because they thought, "Oh well, it isn't fast and it can't be made to go real fast, but at least it will have excellent handling". There's a fatal flaw in that logic. And that is that the handling isn't excellent nor can it be made excellent. It can be good, pretty good. Not great.

I'm not trying to shitcan your car. Just being realistic about it. FWIW I started as a P plater in an HG Kingswood, and loved it and spent money making it go faster and did suspension work on it. All ultimately a complete waste of time (not least because I did eventually put it on its roof!). But all P platers have the same wrong beliefs about their cars and make the same wrong decisions and mistakes. I would caution you to not try to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Don't spend too much money on making improvements to an NA Skyline because at some point you'll be so invested in the car that you'll want to do a turbo conversion on it. Then you'll come on the forums and ask for advice and we'll all tell you to sell it and buy a turbo car because it simply doesn't make sense to do the conversion to an NA car, no matter how much other investment you have in it. And you will never get the value back out of any of the investment you put into it. Sure, you never will with any car, but it is worse with things like NA Skylines. For you to appreciate my point, consider a friend of yours asking you for advice on doing similar things to a Camry.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
