Hmm, I have the 260rs stagea, with hicas, the guy at the import parts place says the r33gtr coilovers bolt right in to this car... Any truth to this? It's scheduled to be done in about 10 days.. If I need to rush other parts.. Hope I have enough time.

fronts will

although rears dont as the top hats and mounting studs are too wide, so can work if you swap and bolt in s13/r32 rear top hats ...

So from what I have read so far, a 22mm front swaybar and a 24mm rear is the go? No need for a 27mm swaybar in the front? I really want to flatten it out in corners but don't want excessive understeer either.

The 27mm isn't available through Whiteline any more anyway, but in the Stagea the heavier 24mm rear bar is much more important.

Re:Sway bars

So looking at SuperPro and can get them through Supercheap Auto for $272 each excluding bushes.

There are three different sizes for both front and rear.

Front 26, 32 or 34 mm

Rear 20,21 and 22 mm.

Anyone know if there's any issues with the biggest sizes ?

Are they solid bars in each case or are some hollow? The C34 Stagea can be made to understeer badly with too much front anti roll bar and I suspect that for M35 also if you go for 26mm front and 22mm rear understeer is what you will get...but Dale will have a better idea.

After fitting the sway bars:

tighten up one thing, another shits itself..

the car was feeling perfect, tight and quiet.

now there's are massive knock and it feels shithouse again. Loose front end.

I put it up on ramps, jacked up each side, shook everything, can't find it. :angry:

if I swerve front left to right quickly I can make it knock on every turn.

then it keeps on knocking until the car stops swaying.

great,,,, off to the shop again

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
