Ok.....well there has been alot of talk of swaybars in a couple of threads. Whether they fit from s13 etc. I have never got a definate answer that they do ...except for the rear. GTR Ben informed us in another thread that the front s13 doesnt fit.

Well i have emailed whiteline about whether we can get them made up . Peter from whiteline emailed back and said that we can but they need a car to model it off etc. They can just have a bar ...but they would prefer a drivable car. I am finding out how long they need it for and whether the prices will be the same etc..

Depending on how long they need the car ( have to take it to whiteline in minto) i might offer mine ....mine is a daily driver and need it to get to work...and minto is about an hours drive from me .....so could be a problem

any way this thread is just to inform u guys and see how many people might be interested. Nothing definate at the moment.

FYI

there are a few A31s in this buy I noticed as well -

Seem to be coming from Whiteline too so it might be worth investigating if we can mention to whitelines we're from the same buy - seems to make up the number nicely :)

Especially seeing that whiteline would make it up, sell it to us, and them off a car we provided.

yea saw that post and asked the guy who was organising it and trying to find out whether the s13 front swaybars fitted for it. I asked him whether they would work and he wasnt sure....and never got any extra response from him.

when i get home from work i should know how much and how long they need the car etc ...

from peterat whiteline 'G'day Alex,

Initially we would like a car for a couple of days. This will enable bar sizes/design work to be undertaken so we can produce matched bars to balance up the chassis. Any further development may be possible at a later stage dependent upon predicted production numbers etc.

Pricing would remain consistent with similar products and a Group buy price would be available for a buy of 10 or more items. '

ok so they will need a car for a few days ....too_much_boost expressed interest volunteering his car...do u still want to do this?

And if we can set a group buy then we prob can get em cheaper aswell

I can give you all a DEFINITIVE answer on this..........the S13 whiteline blade adjustable swaybars DO fit onto cefiros' and Laurels. I know this for a fact because i have fitted them myself.

I know that there has been alot of confusion as to fitment of these items.....so i decided to "bite the bullet" and purchase some whiteline swaybars and hope for the best.........it worked out i was right.

A friend of mine also removed an aftermarket swaybar from his cefiro and swapped it for an item from an S13 (front) it bolted up perfectly.

I hope this helps all of you out. Perhaps somebody could put this information as "sticky" for other cefiro/Laurel enthusiasts.?

the only thing i have been thinking about is that the s13 ones were made for the s13 ....with either ca18 or sr20 in them ....cefiros are different with a heavier eng etc .... will they perform as well.

im not too fussed on this though ...just thought i would bring it up....

Riverside.. they are not exactly the same.. and a S13 silvia bar will not fit a S13 with an RB motor.. thats where the problem is. The sump hits. With a 4 cyl motor, no problems at all!

I have pictures showing the difference if you really want me to upload them all etc.

The A31 bar from a 6 Cyl powered car has a much larger portion at the front to clear the sump.

I hope this is clear?

If someone could demo there A31 (WITH A RB MOTOR) for whiteline I would be very happy. They probably still have my spare A31 Swaybar and links.. if they havn't throw it out.

If someone is sorting something out, give me an email.

Riverside, I just looked at the other post and noted you have a RB motor.

Hmm, odd. Maybe the whiteline bars clear a little more, maybe the aussie Cefiro's are slightly different.. who knows.

My engine is also lowered 15mm so this doesn't help.

I may have another loook with the Whiteline bar. (I have a whiteline CA18 27mm adjustable front bar) maybe this is the problem. How different are the SR20 bars?

Maybe this is the problem I am having? If you have fitted a SR20 Whiteline bar to your A31 with RB motor and it fits though, I will take your work for it :P

In theory the S13 with RB SHOULD be the same as A31 with RB........but i can not confiently comment on that as i do not own an rb S13.

I have fitted the whiteline swaybars to BOTH RB and SR powered A31's and C33's.........without any issues, The RB powered A31 had the sump sitting quite close to the bar bt it did NOT touch. (I simply asked for the largest blade adjustable swaybars available for S13, so i am unsure if i have CA or SR items, i doubt the aftermarket items are different anyway)

I imagine that the lowering of your engine may be the main issue.

Thanks Riverside.

Well I know for a fact with my engine the Stock S13 bar doesn't fit with my RB engine lowered etc. The sump was resting on the bar when I installed the engine..

Maybe you have the SR20 Whiteline bar and it allows more clearance. Whiteline do supply a CA and SR S13 bar.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
