Wow, they didn't come from the factory with a rear sway bar! :cool:

Anyway, quick search (which OP should have done):

Still doesn't say whether there are any holes there though ...

thanks, i did do a search and read that same thread some time ago, and yeah like you said, doesnt mention the pre-existence of mounting holes,

ive had a look and found some holes in the right spot (i think) but they dont appear to be threaded? should they be threaded or would the bolt need its own nut on the back?

and also, how hard is it to get the bar btw the car's under body and the exhaust pipe? especially if its a 2.5 pipe thats using the factory mounts, should there be enough clearence to wedge it thru?

thanks again.

I have a 3 inch cat back and I had to drop it to fit the rear sway bar on my R34 GTT.

Hmmm not sure if the holes need to be threaded??

ok good to know, cheers

so the bolts have their own nuts on the back? i thought they might have bolted into the chassis

the holes are already there & are threaded, its as if nissan forgot to bolt the swaybar in.

just buy the rear swaybar mounts & links from a GTST/GTT, and get your swaybar and bolt it up.

i done the exact same thing but upgraded to poly mounts & a GTR swaybar which is thicker

awesome, thanks a heap

You're thinking rear strut brace.

Almost all cars have a rear sway bar, and not having one is a major handling downer. It would be a good upgrade for any NA owner who was unlucky enough not to get one from the factory.

i heard theres no point putting in a rear sway bar in skylines because of the way the suspension etc

i was told this also but for the front STRUT bar also - the shop said 'wont do much cos of the suspsension design'

well i just put one on and its a massive difference, not only is the front end stiffer, but as a result of the new stiffness pushing down on each corner i can even feel the front suspension tracking over bumps better and not lifting the front corners of the car

but yeah im pretty sure the rears are pointless, - on our sedans anyways

do the mounting brackets on this bar look buggered to any one on here? its one some guy is selling but im sure it looks like some steel is missing from the mounts around the bolt holes, but he says they are good condition factory mounts, but he also says its a 23mm bar, would factory mounts even fit that thick of a bar?

any opinions on the condition of those mounts?

don't know the size but best to get it off a wrecked car so it comes with all the bolts.

alternatively, ring your local jap wrecker and ask them for the bolts holding the rear swaybar mounts up.

rubber bush looks but and they're cheap to replace anyway.

if you were in syd id give u my old swaybar + mounts.

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
