Is this the correct way to setup a whiteline rear swaybar on an r33 gtst it the only I can see to use all the nuts.

Wrong, you need 2 nuts on the bottom of the link bush. The spare one you have is the lock nut the stops the bush winding down the link rod. This is from my post in the Stagea section on Suspension...

You can't quite see it in the picture but there are 2 nuts below the link bush.

Hope that helps:cheers:

If you bought the standard 22mm bar then the bushes will fit perfectly. However if

you bought the oversize 24mm bar "non stock" then the bushes they supply present a problem as the largest bush the have and supply with the bar is 22mm.

They dont tell you this when u buy it. You have three choices, least desirable is:

1. You hand grind it out, this will never be right as you want max surface area in contact with bush to cover in grease to stop the squeaks.

2. you heat it or as Whiteline term it "blow it out" they dont reccomend it anymore as the smoke that comes of it is seriously bad shit.

3. Most desirable is you ring Peter at Fulcrum suspension in Qld 07 3892 9000

and ask him for a set of SPF1647-22K. He will then take these to the factory next door, lathe them to 24mm, freight them to u for the massive sum of $25.00 inc freight and get them to you within a couple of days and I live in Adelaide and their purple that at least matches a skyline colour.

It may sound like a bit of rooting around but its safer and provinding you put the white goo supplied in the bush bag on them NO SQUEAKS.

Sorry to drag up an old thread guys, But I recently purchased the whiteline front adjustable bar for my R33 GTSt, and it only came with the D-bushes, no linkages. The shop I got it from said that I am supposed to use the standard linkages, but I was under the impression the adjustable bars also came with the linkages???

Came somebody please clarify this for me?

thanks in advance.

The front adj bar i got came with bushes only.Hope that helps.It's the rear bar that has the linkages.

Yeah, I ended up speaking to whiteline and you are correct.

The standard linkages on the rear bar would not work with an adjustable swaybar, which is why they supply them. The front bar can use the standard ones...

Thanks for the reply anyhow, appreciated.

Without resorting to opening up another thread, does someone have a copy of the Whiteline instructions on how to install the front and rear (adjustable) sways on a 33 GTST? Mine didn't seem to come with any!

Thanks..

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
