Guys, I'm currently doing a Whiteline group buy for M35 Stagea sway bars, and a few people have expressed interest in Sway Bars in this section.

I'd need a minimum of 5 orders, and a maximum of 10 orders to justify it.

On the Stagea; we had had prices going from; Front 32mm adjustable, RRP; $320 GB; $235!. Rear 20mm adjustable; RRP; $285 GB; $210! A huge saving!

The V35 bars are basically the same prices, so I should be able to offer the same kind of prices!

Check the link in my sig for details on my current Group Buy (it is now closed though) and let me know what you think.

Cheers, Dale

The short answer; yes.

Sway bars are the best value single modification you can make to the handling of your car. Doesn't matter whether you plan to lower or leave at stock height, sway bars will make a huge difference.

As a stand alone mod; or in concert with lowered springs & shocks, you will have a more grippy secure feeling car in corners, and thats without touching on higher corner speed.

are these any benefit if my v35 is already fitted with the factory sports suspension pack??

I would say yes, I'd say your sports pack will likely be limited to springs and shocks. But if you'd like to measure the diameter of what you currently have fitted I can tell you whether or not it's different.

I didnt realise whiteline prices were that high... you can get a pair of cusco sway bars straight from japan for around $450. Although in saying that they are the non adjustable type.

Are you serious? $230 and $210 is too expensive for you? Have youy looked at the retail prices? Have you actually got quotes including delivery? If you can get your Cusco's for that price, landed in Australia; go ahead. Be aware, the Cusco's will likely be a hollow bar; and nowhere near as much an increase in stiffness as the solid Whitelines.

Perhaps you should run a Group Buy; so everyone can benefit from the savings. :thumbsup:

Do they have ones to suit a V36 sedan? If so I might be keen.

I don't know if they do, I'll have to check some part numbers, and see what's available. Also, they wouldn't be the same price as the group buy prices due to the individual nature, I need a minimum of 5 to do a group buy.

Cheers, Dale.

Hey

Im considering tracking my car in the near future just for fun, nothing serious as it is my daily car so this looks like a great 1st mod. The installation for these bars can they be done easily or is it better off just taking them to a mechanic to install. Also if i did get a mechanic to install what do you think should be charged for labour? just want to get a rough idea.

By the way i have 2004 350gt coupe Automatic, will these fit or is it only manuel??

Sorry for the nooby questions.

Yeah that was the landed price for the cusco's, but you are right, i believe they are hollow ( not confirmed ) and arent adjustable like the whiteline ones. They only offer about 30% improved stiffness i believe. But i guess it depends on how stiff you want them to be. I wasnt saying it was too expensive, i dont think i worded it right, more so comparing the price of the cusco to the whiteline... i just looked up the cusco as a comparison to those prices and was kinda surprised they were about the same cost.

Bars are the same for auto & manual. I't is a fairly straight forward job to do; I didn't even remove the wheel from my car, did the whole job on ramps.:thumbsup: As for cost, I fitted mine in less than 2 hours, but a buyer from my last Group Buy, was charged over $300 which is massively excessive. Talk to the mechanic who services you car.

Where are you located? If in Sydney, I may be able to help you.

All good.:thumbsup: The Whitelines will exceed 100% improved stiffness. Well worth the spend IMO.

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
