Sooo, I've done several Group Buys for Sway Bars now, and they've all gone very well, but I haven't really catered for you guys :blush:

Are any of you C34 drivers after Sway Bars or Whiteline alignment parts?

Feel free to post in this thread or send me a PM; I'm happy to help.

Cheers, Dale.

I'm not really clued up as to the differences in the subframes among the different models, so I'll have to defer to the more experienced guys on that. I'm going to have to pay more attention.:blush:

If we can ascertain what subframe it is; I'm sure we can find a bar to suit.:thumbsup:

my mate bought a 33 that was originally a gts (non turbo but converted in japland with turbo everything except rear way bar) all the mounting points were there under the car and on the lower suspension arms so we bolted a whiteline bar in there

Check out the Cusco ones while you're at it - may or may not be more expensive.

Had a quick look at their website - bars are about AU$350 but they don't seem to list Stagea ones so onoly the Sklyline ones known to fit would be of interest. Probably Aussie made ones would be a better bet.

$350? I'll be able to smoke that pricethumbsup.gif Should be around $230-$240ish.

^^ agreed.

can also use R33 GTR swaybar on front

Thanks for the tip; I'll get some prices together.

Cheers, Dale.

I'd be keen for front and rear AWD swaybars, anyone got recommendations for which thickness to go for on the rear one?

I would tend toward the 24mm due to the extra weight in the rear (a lot of glass & steel high up in the body) and this will also tend to reduce understeer.

I'm not really familiar with the handling bias of the C34 but I would imagine it is understeer biased.

Feel free to correct me.

Good prices!

Sway bars are the best bang for buck investment in handling. Worthwhile for a stock or modified Stagea. Improves cornering no end and there in NO DOWNSIDE - no harsh ride or other problems.

I have the 24mm solid rear which is a big upgrade on the stock but would not suggest a smaller one.

For the front the SK kit had 24mm made to special order but the 22mm should be ok as there is a tendency to understeer.

NB I painted mine black as even though they are an upgrade with no implications for reduced safety (the opposite in fact) they are considered a "modification" that might incur unwanted attention.

Cheers mate; I aim to please!

Does powdercoating void warranty? I've been enquiring about powdercoating rims and one dude said that it would compromise its structural integrity..

i'm pretty sure powder coating ovens wouldn't get anywhere near hot enough to affect the heat treatment of the metal used.

    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
    • Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.
    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 😪 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
