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.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
