Daleo's bracing, and the Superpro compression bushes give a much more pronounced handling improvement than the sways imo. Not saying 'don't get em' but increasing the spring rate isn't going to improv

Haha maybe I should get her to pull your sway bars off for me :P

Get some new tyres! Nankang's are RUBBISH! And in the wet it's like skating on steel wheels. Worst tyres this side of retreads.

I'll admit, I had some "help" from my 3 yr old son today; you guys like sticky tape, right?:whistling:

Mine arrived yesterday. Two days to arrive :thumbsup: and now it looks like it will take three days to unwrap! Your 3yo son did a very good job with the tape.

Thanks again for all your effort Dale :worship: - can't wait to put them on, although that could be a week away!

Mine arrived today also. My son unwrapped them & he was like a kid in an erm auto parts store lol.

There was only one minor issue. A bag of the grease busted open & the bag that was around that was also split so I've got black stuff all over the place :yucky:.

I don't suppose there's anything too special about that grease? I've got a few different types of 'standard' grease around if I can't squeeze enough out of the 2 packets supplied.

Mate, they really look great. All those gold anodised fittings make it look very pro, and even match my TV tuner lol. Thanks again Dale.

I fitted the front bar last night, I had some issues with the gold clamp rings, they seem to hit the chassis when clamped to the bar and only allow a small amount of bar travel. Has anyone else hit this problem? I was worried it would cause load on the links.

I only had to file a bit off the lower part of the clamp to make it work though...

Jules did tell me he'd had a similar issue with his, which manifested in a light knocking noise; but that Whiteline had sorted the issue. I believe due to the large diameter of the bar, the orientation of the collar will be fairly critical.

If you are installing these with the car on ramps this should be fairly straight forward, if on stands, it's a little more complicated. Scottys solution is a fairly simple one; grind or file the area to gain some clearance.

If anyone has a problem; please let me know.

Cheers, Dale.

I just fitted Ironpaw's bars today, same issue with the front locating clamps. I just filed a few mm off the upper half of the clamp and it gave me back all the travel the bar would need. They have to be clamped hard one side so when you lower the car they sit central giving the bar plenty of clearance. Other than that they are great.

We set the rear bar at maximum, (closest hole to the mounts) and the heavy front bar on the softer outside holes. How do they feel mate?

My clamps were sweet. . but I know they did shave a bit off them at time of fitting. . the knocking noise was an issue with the powder coating and bolt diameter which created the knocking but was all sorted. But mine was the R & D car so it was expected, the things I force my stag to do for others. . whistling.gif

I guess variations in cars would account for mm differences. .

Mine rock and I love them. . my settings are hard front & medium rear. . . . which Whiteline found offered the best results for street conditions.

It's f**king sweet as! Now I understand the "corner devouring" thing. Most of the body roll is gone. Cornering and the turning seems much sharper and precise.

Almost got self killed trying to take a hairpin too fast...I miraculously slid out the rear and slid over a traffic island while missing a sign post on the island and a parked ve ss sportswagon by inches...

Took the car to mt dandenong this Arvo...great place to put the car thru its paces!

Havent really felt any different comfort wise...I want to try the max setting on the front bars!!

Told ya :thumbsup:

BTW, all that "Corner Devouring" was obviously done on your private road; don't want people getting silly ideas now...:ph34r:

Glad you're enjoying them. :cheers:

Of course...I was strictly following the speed limit...just didn't brake enough :whistling:

Australia Post has let me down, and they STILL haven't arrived! :rant:

Hopefully they'll be waiting for me when I get back from Melbourne Thursday night. Serves me right for being optimistic with Australia Post...

Fitting them Saturday hopefully, going to follow Jules' suggestion of hard front and medium rear if I can work them out.

Couple of questions...

  1. Do they come with instructions on fitting/setup?
  2. Is the filing issue Scotty found only applicable if you fit them on a hoist/with the wheels suspended in the air?

No good mate, hopefully very soon!

I didn't open them up to check, but I believe they do come with fitting instructions.

I think it might be a good idea to slip the collar into position and check for clearance either way; saves removing them later if there's an issue.

If Scotty reads this; did you take a pic of where you were getting contact, or where you filed the collars for clearance?

I understand where you're talking about; but it might be good to illustrate for the others as my bars being a different diameter, don't have this issue.

If so could you please post them up?

Cheers, Dale.

Yeah I no Dale, all good! Australia Post can just be slack sometimes, esp in my area!

I got the impression reading other people's posts that if you put the car up in the air with the wheels suspended, you'd get the clearance issue. If you put the car up with the wheels supported you'd be all good. Just wanted to check this before I gave it a bash.

It will hit either way, and im not removing all those tray screws and the bar again. lol.

Before you put the links on, just test the travel of the bar and you will see what I mean. File the upper clamp a little, both sides of the flat section and it will allow more travel.

      R34 Diff oil

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      R34 Diff oil

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      Short shifter r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
