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.

  • 4 weeks later...

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?

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
