Hey researching for my new project, stock r32 for drift.

Does anyone have any idea on pricing for whiteline sway bars?new or used? :laughing-smiley-014:

Be throwing one in the front... and whether i should just go for heavy duty or blade adjustable..?

(please have mercy..)> :D:thumbsup::( (DESTROY!!)> :domokun: random*

For a thread with only 5 posts there sure is alot of confusion going on.

If you want a price on the swaybar you could always ring Whiteline & ask them. Or your local Repco or similar sttore as they sell them.

If you want to help your car drift putting a stiffer sway bar on the fron will help it - undertsteer.

If it is an R32 GTS-T the cheapest thing to do is get a rear sway bar off a GT-R.

If you must have the Whiteline gear get the adjstable bars.

Stiffer front swaybar without an upgraded rear swaybar will work miserably for drift, definitely get the rear one first. You'd be much better off getting both at once though. And having them adjustable is quite helpful.

Quick question:

Will you notice any difference if you get two different brand sway bars?

I currently have custom made Kmac rear sway bar.. But might get whiteline for the front (due to cheaper pricing)

So should i go back to kmac n get a front one made up as well?

I'm gonna go with blind :worship: joke. Doesn't help that the site now reduces the size of all the pics now though.

They're called stabilizer bars in the price list. Swaybars = stabilizer bars = anti-roll bars.

Siddr20: I doubt there would be a difference between swaybar brands. But ring up the two companies and ask them where they get their spring steal from. If they get em from the same place, they're gonna be pretty damn similar.

The particular source of steel is not important. The diameter(s) of the sway bar & the length of the lever arms are the important things. So check the outside diameters & the inside diameters also if the bars are hollow.

Sorry, my mistake, I made a couple of assumptions there, just thinking we were comparing brands. Checking the diameter is a must when buying swaybars, I dont think there are any Australian companies that make hollow swaybars though, so that makes things a bit easier. Arm lengths dont have to be worried about too much as they have to be kept pretty constant to fit the car.

hey i got new front one you can have it for 100, it is the adjustable type. Left over from my RB26 conversion.

it funny actually as i pulled a full set of cuscos out to fit whiteline ones to the S13. Thw whiteline ones offered a better solution and worked better. They are heavier though.

get the largest gtr rear one and match it with mine and you will be laughing (i left my laptop at home so i dont have the whiteline part numbers in front of me)

i found when i had my R32 that a 24mm (i think) rear sway was absolutely insane for my car drifting........had coilovers and section front and rear camber arms as well, but once the sway was in with just a standard front any corner and the tail would come out with minimal effort. found it nice for my style driving

I can 2nd that.

I have an R32 with the following suspension.

whiteline springs and unknown shocks

front castor arms

whiteline adjustable rear swaybar set to medium.

the car drifts like a champ. :P

no front bar needed.

^^^^

its all about the "grip" with you Salad.............LOL

-personally i think each to there own, comfort is more important then what people "say" you should have based on there experience.

In any motorsport your aim is to maximise grip... So what's wrong with trying to get more grip?

Comfort? I dont think so with your 14/12 kg/mm springs :blush:

    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
    • Yes, ther are plenty of [racist statement alert] terrifying 50+ yr old ladies of a certain ethnic origin who have no demerits yet still manage to park their cars on top of roundabouts, hanging out of multistory car parking structures and other wild shenanigans. Somehow they puddle through years of driving without ever attracting the attention of the cops, yet the whole time, they are an instant away from doing something spectactularly stupid.
