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..

Pictures of a front and rear Whiteline adjustable stabiliser bar install are on the Stagea Suspension thread.

:) cheers :(

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
