Nismo Vs Whiteline Swaybars

[BOZ22N]

Hi,

As the title says I am trying to choose a sway bar combination. I have been looking at SK's group buy whiteline stuff and noticed that the adj sway bars are 24mm front and rear.

On greenline’s website the nismo ones are non-adjustable and are 27mm front and 23mm rear. I don’t mind the rear being a little softer but is 27mm at the front just too big? Would you be able to adjust a 24mm bar to be as tight as a 27mm one?

My car is a R33 GTS-T which is trying to be a track car (well one day, eventually, maybe )

Anyone with some first hand experience would be great.

Cheers,

Ryan

If i read it right the whiteline front adjustable ones will be as stiff as a nismo one when adjusted all the way across?

And visa versa with the rear?

If you're going to track it the ability to tune front/rear roll stiffness (which will help you balance understeer/oversteer) will be pretty useful. I'd go for the whileline adjustables.

im running nismo swaybars in my r33 gtst,

it works perfect with my setup

Mate there is little point getting a Nismo one as the locally produced ones are just as good. Plus if you are going to track it def go the adj ones as you can easily tune your setup to suit the track on the day.

good luck getting the whiteline front swaybar link set on full hard. the bar will only adjust to 3rd and 2nd hole consecutivly. unless i guess if u got some other kind of linkage.

[Trust33]

sk how do i attain full hard setting?

[SevenAngryPenguins]

you sure it was that hard... i got mine into the second hardest hole no problems at all

[Trust33]

how? maybe im not trying hard enough.

whatchya mean craig? couldn't get the link down to the last holes or were you worried about the angle once you got it there. or does it foul on something?

the trick to installing sway bar is that the car has to be level left to right both front and rear when you try and fit it, otherwise the sway bar does exactly what it is designed to do - put pressure on the opposite side. If you cant get the car level jack under the lower wheel until it is level, then the bar will fit fine.

nismo sway bars are hollow (most jap sways are) and a lot lighter than the whiteline bars

but whiteline do have the advantage of being adjustable unlike the nismo's

You can do 45 push-ups in 30seconds though....

Swap the link to the front of the upright/hub.

it doesnt foul on anything. as far as i can remember, and i do remember the angle it was sittiing at was a bit disturbing, it was installed a long time ago, it was giving me shit trying to get it any harder than that setting. but i have never tried installing it with all 4 wheels off the ground. still i dont see what difference it will make by doing that.

to me, driving the car up onto ramps sounds like it could work.
