Swaybar Hits High Energy Sump

[PSI Parts]

I'm sure we are not the first ones to have this problem, so I was wondering what people have done in the past.

We have just installed the High Energy Pro Circuit Racing Sump and it hits the sway bar. I have spoken to Whiteline and they said that the only way to go is to get a custom one made. So I spoke to the original Selby guys and they can do one for around $280, but it will take 3 weeks, which is definitely not in my time frame as I want to compete in the CAMS run Time Attack series next month.

So I'm keen to see if someone makes an off-the-shelf version?

In case you don't know; Car is a 1998 40th Ann. R33 GTS25t, with a built RB25.

Mine hits the front of my sump but has so far only rubbed the paint off, Ill be very interested in what you find or do, I may need to jump on your band wagon because I will need to fix it sooner rather than later.

could you fabricate some new sway bar linkages to move the sway bar a little bit?

Honestly I've got nfi, just spitballin here.

In marks case with slight rubbing I normally machine up some neat alloy spacers and lower the sway bar down slightly away from the sump.

It is also possible to move the bar forward with a new pair of D bush brackets or elongating the holes

Brad, can you add that to my to do list please.

Thanks, Mark

Same issue with mine. Made worse with the custom engine mounts lowering the RB30 block. Notched the pan and spaced the swaybar D bushes.
