It comes with new bushes but unlike rears you have to use old links.

yeah, i tht the same thing wen i got my whiteline front sway bar kit..

no drop link kit..lol

but thats how they come..

anyways it felt so much better with the swaybar upgrade ay!

best money spent on the suspension eso far :P

i got an extra-heavy duty non-adjustable swaybar...

i think from memory its 27mm...

still to get the rear done..i just want less understeer...and its pretty much gone! :)

wat u end up getting?

you might want to hold off on the rear sway bar - they reduce traction out of corners and affect ride more than the front sway bar I found.

LOL i thought i was missing something too when i got mine. Good to know they dont come with them.

I have installed the front swaybar only. Will do the rear when i have time these holidays.

bumble bee - so the front swaybar alone made the car understeer less? I thought the rear was needed to dial out the understeer on r32's?

yeah bumble bee man has it arse backwards. stiffer front bar will give MORE understeer. to get rid of understeer you want a stiffer rear bar.

If you only have budget for 1 swaybar I would get the rear first, then do the front.

yeah most cars already have a fairly hefty front bar as from the factory they want to dial out any tendency to oversteer so they put a big front bar on to induce some understeering when pushing hard,

Yeah that makes sense. When mines pushed hard in the mountains round tight corners it just understeers heaps and the s14 infront pulls away lol

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Evening all. Got this odd issue with my R34 GTT. If I let the car idle for around 15 seconds or more (even when cold) and I jab the throttle a bit, a decently sized plume of blue/grey smoke comes out the exhaust. Doesn't smoke when idling alone, just when giving it some gas after idling. No smoke on cold start or from what I know, normal driving. Not 100% sure about smoke on decel but I don't think there's any. Any pointers on what I should start doing to troubleshoot it? Or if anyone has experienced the same I'd love to get some insight. Cheers.
