Hi from ohio usa haha . New to the forum search it often for stuff but need to create a profile to ask ?'s . So it's probably been covered but rwd stageas why did they not come with a rear sway bar and what can I use 🤔 I take it a s14 one will do. I've researched and found the 240sx s14 chassis suspension and steering are compatible. So will that work im building it to drift but currently love to cruise it when it's not being worked on haha. But I feel more control in the rear is needed. Definitely with the lil I've done to the suspension so far it's loose goosey in the rear. Any help would be appreciated thanks and cheers

I'm a little surprised there is no rear bar on your car, any sign that it was there but removed (mounting holes on the control arms and subframe?)

While there are differing opinions on sway bars vs spring rates, I am much happier with the stock boatlike handling being improved with relatively light aftermarket springs and reasonably heavy sway bars at each end.

It kind of depends what your expectations are from the handling, but it is likely just adding a sway bar won't transform a big wagon into a track weapon

 

Yeah I agree and I haven't jumped back under to look for signs that one was there but from the previous hours under it it didn't look like it had one on im the first owner in the US. And as for adding it for a performance mod for my track suspension, that's not my goal per say. at the moment I'm just wanting to get the rear under control a lil more until I get time to test and tune when all the suspension components finally arrive. It's a slow build for me just a project to enjoy and she runs strong rn so in-between down time for mods I keep it street ready if the weathers decent I cruise it to work lol. But my commute is highway and we'll let's just say the roads aren't smooth.

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
