so going from stock, what diameter would be best suited as an upgrade for an R32GTST?

currently have coilvoers, adjustable upper arms and am getting castor rods in this week - hoping to install the castor rods and sway bars at the same time but i don't know much about suspension.

What type and diamter are you guys running on your R32 gtst's? And what diameter are the stock ones?

cheers

hahaha, The whiteline factory is only 2km away from my house on the C coast. :banana:

im getting

Swaybar - Extra Heavy duty blade adjustable 22m (front) =$195

Swaybar - Extra Heavy duty blade adjustable 22m (rear) =$220.50

Swaybar link kit - Spherical rod end (front) =$117

Swaybar link kit - Spherical rod end (rear) =$153

Seeing as its a GTS-4 i had to get all the GTR products but its still cheap.

getting the top of the line swaybars and links. Because of the discount it makes it that cheap and there standard swaybars and links cost more than the price im getting there best ones for :D

I keep hearing better stuff and even more popularity with whiteline nowdays.

im assuming this would suit 32R as well?? do u need the link kit??

(SAME AS THE R33 GTR AND GTS-4)

Swaybar - Extra Heavy duty blade adjustable 22m (front) BNF27Z

Swaybar link kit - Spherical rod end (front) KLC008

Swaybar link kit - Spherical rod end (rear) KLC009

(THE ONLY THING DIFFERENCE IS THE REAR SWAYBAR, ITS MADE IN A SIZE 24mm ONLY SO YOU WILL HAVE 22mm ON THE FRONT AND 24mm ON THE BACK)

Swaybar - Extra Heavy duty blade adjustable 24m (rear) BNR26XZ

  • 4 weeks later...
  • 3 months later...

I don't think you do ...just checked the web site and it states those parts are for "RACE USE ONLY".

What's the price difference between the adjustable and non-adjustable, does anyone know? Is it worth the extra dough for the adjustable ones? Somehow I suspect once these things are on the car most people would never "adjust" anything..

edit: NO price diff for adj./non adjs apparently according to web site, $229 for a GTT front sway bar + gst.

That's only a warehouse at Somersby, the swaybars aren't manufactured there.

The rear at 22 mm is too small, I always use a 24 mm on the 4wd's

Make sure to fit the dust covers plus greaze and regularly service the spherical links, otherwise they will wear out very fast and knock like crazy.

I need an honest opinion here... would swaybars improve handling for a daily? Or is it only for maniacs who like to take every single corner at high speed?

ABSOLUTELY they improve handling for a daily. They're the best bang for buck handling mod IMO.

u will notice the car sitting a lot more flat, the ride wont be compromised, but in tight parking situations with unlevel ground u will notice more inside wheel lift and the wheel spinning freely (unless u have a mech LSD or locker)

another question: ive picked up a set of sway bars(front seems to be 27mm, rear about 24mm) the on the rear part where it bolts to what i call the link, is vertical rather than horizontal. is there somesort of link kit for this, or have i just got the wrong one. The part came off a 2 door r33, trying to fit to r33 4 door.

what about bumps/potholes though on a daily ? My understanding of the way antisway bars work is if you hit a pot hole say mid roundabout it would be worse than without them ? Happens a lot in the inner city ..seems whenever I turn, wherever I turn there are friggin potholes

You have a shock absorber problem not a swaybar problem.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
