Yep no bent rod make car handle good bar thing there. Get one.

Nissan are retarded. The rwd stagea also had no rear bent bar thing either

problem is that there basically aren't any commercial bars made to fit my car, so I don't know which to buy.

Surely someone with a gtt who has upgraded their bar will feel sorry for you and give you theirs!

Which is actually the same as all skylines and s chassis cars. (Nearly, as a disclaimer so I don't get sued)

Thanks for the help man! I'll check it out and report back

I have a stock auto R32 one at home which is 14mm or somesuch flimsy size. You could fit that and possibly not cause it to oversteer off the road.

If you do go buy a big Whiteline rear bar, then you simply must buy an even bigger front bar to go with it. Do not match an uprated Whiteline rear with the stock front one. If you make that mistake it will become an oversteery monster and flick you off the road into a tree sideways or backwards.

By the way, when I referred to your car as a RWD Camry, I wasn't attacking it. I was explaining why it doesn't have a rear ARB. If you were Nissan, making a RWD Camry that you knew that the buyers would only ever creep around city corners at low speed because they can't drive anyway, would you bother fitting an ARB to it? Answer, you wouldn't.

When I attack an NA Skyline for being a frustratingly slow bucket of shit that looks like it should be able to go fast but can't, you'll sure know about it, because it will be patently clear. I mean, turbo Skylines can easily be made fast enough to run with pretty much any car on the road in a straight line, but the thing about Skyline suspension design is that it isn't that great. They just don't handle as well as they should/could. And they can't be made to handle as well as they should/could either. They always fall short of expectation. Sure, they aren't bad, but they are nowhere near the top of the field. So, just for interest's sake, let's say someone bought an NA Skyline because they thought, "Oh well, it isn't fast and it can't be made to go real fast, but at least it will have excellent handling". There's a fatal flaw in that logic. And that is that the handling isn't excellent nor can it be made excellent. It can be good, pretty good. Not great.

I'm not trying to shitcan your car. Just being realistic about it. FWIW I started as a P plater in an HG Kingswood, and loved it and spent money making it go faster and did suspension work on it. All ultimately a complete waste of time (not least because I did eventually put it on its roof!). But all P platers have the same wrong beliefs about their cars and make the same wrong decisions and mistakes. I would caution you to not try to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Don't spend too much money on making improvements to an NA Skyline because at some point you'll be so invested in the car that you'll want to do a turbo conversion on it. Then you'll come on the forums and ask for advice and we'll all tell you to sell it and buy a turbo car because it simply doesn't make sense to do the conversion to an NA car, no matter how much other investment you have in it. And you will never get the value back out of any of the investment you put into it. Sure, you never will with any car, but it is worse with things like NA Skylines. For you to appreciate my point, consider a friend of yours asking you for advice on doing similar things to a Camry.
