M35 rear sway bar query

Hi all, I'm wanting to run dual exhaust on PNM35. Problem being the right side is hindered by the sway bar. 

I know a Y50 Fuga sway bar will fit and allow for dual pipes. I currently have a whiteline S/B installed and you all know the benefits of this. 

I don't think Fuga sway bar will afford the same benefits, so my query is will a Z34 rear sway bar fit our stags? (affordable aftermarket ones are available).

Cheers

The rear suspension of the Z33 350Z is the same as the M35 Stagea, the V35 Skylines, Y50 Fuga's and even E51 El Grands (plus the SUV versions)... The Y50 was available with dual exhausts, hence the swaybar fits the Stagea.

However the Z34 370Z rear suspension is the same as the V36 Skyline, Y51 Fuga (AUS Infiniti Q70), plus SUV models and so different to the M35 Stagea, and will not easily fit..

Looks like you need an uprated Y50 one to give you what you need... Might also need to move your carbon canister to fit the extra muffler in... Sure that Cam had to muck about with something like that when he installed his dual exhausts...

I still need to find out if Y34/F50 is same as Z33/V35/M35... There's always small differences and wasn't sure how similar things were with M35 being AWD option.

 

In regards to dual exit exhaust, I'm planning my system to split between the diff and the spare wheel well. From memory it should clear the sway bar. (3" single to 2.25/2.5" twins)

Y50 is what you want. I have one on mine which allowed me to run V36 dual exhaust. Nick is correct, I had to move the carbon canister to allow for the muffler.

Of note, if you are looking to put a V36 exhaust in there, you will need to "massage" the driver side muffler to clear the spare wheel well.

Alternatively, you could always do a large single and then split it off after the sway bar to twin outlets.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
