the factory ones are hollow yes?

i guess solid bars in a different metal may be firmer?

[Bis-e Bee]

I've e-mailed Selby's Sway Bars and asked for them to confirm the diameters of the front and rear swaybars.

I'll advise tomorrow if I hear from them

Works out at $250 a swaybar so total of $500 supplied, not bad really.

that's a little more than Sydneykid was quoting when he first did mine. I think the quote was about $460 for the set then.

$450 for swaybars groupbuy and I'm in.

I dunno about the rear wing though (angus), I love that rear aero though. You can have then wing and I'll take the rear bumper

and on the photos of the stock or not swaybars stephen - if they were anything other than stock someone would have offered to swap for your tred old standard ones (if you get my drift )

lol its not like stephen needs to use the swaybars anyway. he has a child seat in his car!!!!

[Angus Smart]

I spoke with Gary and he said there was a group buy in the making??

but selbys website says about 550 both delivered perhaps a bit more with gst..

gary said 230 each delivered.

perhaps the group buy is for c34's? as no body knows about it here?

Selby's has them for $250 a piece plus delivery, no option of pick-up??! I just got an email back from them and they havn't been very helpful, they seem to think the measurements on the website are correct and it's because the factory one's are hollow and these are solid, hence the smaller diameter.

Someone want to measure Andy's just to make sure? ahem.. his sway bars that is.

Nothing going officially, but you can definitely organise something with Gary.

Yeah, would love to have this clarified.

When you have the time, would you mind measuring the diameter of your swaybars Andy?

Ok, It is wet in Sydney so I have done the best I can tonight without getting soaked getting under the back of the car to check the rear.

The Front is 30mm (measured with calipers) as I originally advised and am confident to say the rear's are also as advised 27mm.

Gary (Sydneykid) is very accurate with his information and is very care full to ensure the correct information is posted and the right item was built to improve the car.

Yes, solid is stiffer than hollow.

Gary is no longer running Selby so maybe some "ass monkey" (love this term) has decided in their wisdom to reduce the size to save cost or they are just wrong.

If you are going to upgrade I would recommend going with Gary's original specs.

Tell Selby they have it all wrong.......LOL

LOL I hadn't heard the term "ass monkey" until I brought a few of the latest Ministry albums

I was emailing the pimply teenager with no t!t$ from the front desk I would say lol Maybe I need to speak to someone more knowledgable. Sorry if the above mentioned is anyone's sister or girlfriend lol

I asked for it to be double-checked but I think I was wasting my breath!!

I don't really want to pay for them to be manufactured to find some "ass monkey" has gone and reduced the diameter.

I would go elsewhere but there are not many other options within Australia.

[andy65b]

I have sent Gary a PM to see if he can give any clarification.

Mine were made in April 08, so maybe they all became light weights and reduced the specs. I don' know? LOL

Will let you know when I hear back.

Cheers

Andy

[andy65b]

OK, Sydneykid can do a group buy if enough people will do it.

He will have them made to the specs he previously posted.

So if you want the 30mm front and 27mm rear, Pm Sydney kid.

Do I take this as confirmation that Selby's did reduce the size of the sway bars?

If not, and it's just the wrong information on their site I will wait until I am ready. With the Nismo S-Tune mine handles find so I won't worry about Sway Bars until after the highflow, exhaust & ecu.

[andy65b]

Yes, I would say they are ass monkeys. LOL (who would up grade to a smaller bar, perhaps softer)

The only certain way of getting swaybars as per Gary's spec is to order with Gary.

I wanted all the handling mods done first, then performance. Getting a price on the exhaust tomorrow, did you get a quote from Charleston? Maybe we can ht them up for a 2 car price if you are ready to do it?

I'm not ready for the exhaust, I'll combine the turbo and exhaust all in one hit. I need to get the funds and then co-ordinate it. I believe they are going to see the dump pipe early next week so hopefully they will be able to whack something together and save me importing from Japan.

I didn't get any estimate

I didn't get any estimates yet as they were waiting to see the dump pipe, I'll probably keep the muffler and just have the rest of the exhaust replaced. I'll have to try and get some flow specs on the muffler somehow.

sydneykid is back online?

[mxfly]

I'm a bit wary of SK as there have been problems with him providing the goods after ppl have paid for them. I dont know if all this has been rectified yet.
