Hey Guyz,

Just acquired an R34 GTR Vspec and looking to upgrade both front & rear swaybars to some aftermarket goodies.

There seems to be a decent variation in bar diameter when comparing Nismo (Has a 27mm fixed rear s/bar) to Whiteline (22/24mm adjustable) or example and wondering what others are using and current Front vs Rear setup including alignment.

Obviously your setup is relative to your preferred driving style and cars intentions (street vs track vs both) but would appreciate

any info to review.

Cheers,

Ben

Your heading down the right path,the sizes vary between manufractures

of sway bars because some are hollow and some are solid hence the

different sizes.I can't speak for the R34 but I had whiteline adj front and

rear on my R32 and transformed the car completely.My preferred set

up was full hard on the back and full soft front.Would highly recommend

getting adjustable though so can tailer it to your driving.As for wheel

alignment maybe search on the forum for others experience's with the

R34 but remember the wheel alignment has a huge part to do with the

extra fine tuning of the cars handling.

Thanks for the response Grunter. I would have thought the Nismo bars are a solid bar but it's certainly a good question to clarify vs Whiteline which are definetely a solid bar.

Surely there are some R34 GTR owners out there that have upgraded their swaybars?

Cheers,

Ben

Also very interested in what ppl are using. i have used whitline before on a wrx and was happy with resullt but due to being solid they re rather heavy. do like that they are adjustable and descent price.

Are ppl using the local goods or finding the jap stuff better.

Really need to do this as m spec has smaller dia swaybars than v spec for comfort reasons.....stupid!

also alignment recommendations from Jim - on whiteline website for r34 gtr

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
