hi all,

The problem is the RB20DET oil sump is touching and rubbing the stock 180sx front swaybar, and I assume particularly under braking this isnt the best for the balance or in terms of wearing the sump. And I assume an aftermarket 180sx swaybar would be in the same position, and thicker to boot so am looking at how to fix it up.

Either a slightly different shaped mid section on an aftermarket swaybar or an adapter/lengthener on an aftermarket swaybar for a 180sx (looking at whiteline) would be the ticket I suppose.

Any ideas on the way to go about it would be great!!

cheers :Pimp2:

Whiteline do what is referred to as there " big dip" bar which is a std S13/180sx bar plus an extra dip in it.

We use them on our RB20det sil conversions. If you have a drama cos a few of the sales staff don't even know they exist, I will track down the part number for you.

Cheers

Ken

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
