you don't need to necessarily go for a larger sway bar as such. It would be more correct to say that a sway bar with a greater tortion strength. You can get sway bars that are adjustable for street and track. This shortens the distance between mounting points to give the sway bar a greater tortion strength, thus giving better road hold during cornering. Then you can adjust them back out to normal(better than standard) when you are driving on the street. I believe whiteline do these but maybe not, you may have to do a little research.

Skyla, you are spot on with your explaination of the sway bar. The force that is applied to one side of the sway bar creates an equal force on the opposite side of the sway bar...in other words, it tries to keep your wheels on the ground.

3LIT3 FORS3: You don't have to fill your car with petrol either... but,

Yeah you don't HAVE to do it, but its advisable, since, to install the front swaybars you need to

take off other parts to get to it...

All NA SKYLINE hv No rear stablizer..The 33/34 GTR rear one will fit all GTST/GTT. Its 26.5mm(lash type) vs gtst 18mm(solid type).  

For NA, as the rear A arms are missing mounting kit....u need to source that parts to fit the stablizer ;)

Just stuck my head under the back of my R33 GTS25 - hello, sway bar. Looked under the back of of a colleagues R33 GTS - no sway bar. And confirmed that I was looking at the right thing by looking under another colleagues R33 GTS25T - sway bar there as standard by the sounds of things (can you tell we have a lot of R33 owners @ work?!).

My car seems to be one of the elusive 'Type S' GTS25's though, it has a few goodies I haven't seen on other GTS25's - eg variable capacity muffler.

ok guys the R33 GTR rear swaybar fits (i just put one in) and is a great improvement over the stock one. make sure you get new bushes from nissan to fit the bigger swaybar, i did it the hard way and spent about 2 hours expanding my stock bushes with a knife :)

haven't fitted the front yet, thinking about selling it and getting an adjustable bar instead.

I finally fitted the rear sway bar (whiteline) today, it was a simple bolt up job, and has made the car much more stable with high speed cornering.

Greg, just out of interest what sizes of the front and rear GTR sway bars?

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
