Hmm, I have the 260rs stagea, with hicas, the guy at the import parts place says the r33gtr coilovers bolt right in to this car... Any truth to this? It's scheduled to be done in about 10 days.. If I need to rush other parts.. Hope I have enough time.

fronts will

although rears dont as the top hats and mounting studs are too wide, so can work if you swap and bolt in s13/r32 rear top hats ...

Ben c34 your inbox is full, where you located? I'm keen if they are in good nick ie no leaks

So from what I have read so far, a 22mm front swaybar and a 24mm rear is the go? No need for a 27mm swaybar in the front? I really want to flatten it out in corners but don't want excessive understeer either.

i know fulcrum @ stafford have a full set of std height shocks & springs if anyone wants/needs them.

The 27mm isn't available through Whiteline any more anyway, but in the Stagea the heavier 24mm rear bar is much more important.

Hey looking for front and rear sway bars for my M35 with Nolathane bushings and heavy duty links.

Who's selling them here in Sydney ?

Re:Sway bars

So looking at SuperPro and can get them through Supercheap Auto for $272 each excluding bushes.

There are three different sizes for both front and rear.

Front 26, 32 or 34 mm

Rear 20,21 and 22 mm.

Anyone know if there's any issues with the biggest sizes ?

Are they solid bars in each case or are some hollow? The C34 Stagea can be made to understeer badly with too much front anti roll bar and I suspect that for M35 also if you go for 26mm front and 22mm rear understeer is what you will get...but Dale will have a better idea.

[conan7772]

Anyone still making the M35 underbody brace ?

Or can someone send me specs and dimensions to build my own.

[Lakes101]

Dale is I'm sure I got one of him a few months back

[joshm35]

M35 front sway bars ares solid 32-33 mm

[Daleo]

OEM is actually 29mm hollow.

My 30mm solid bar went straight into OEM rubber "D" bushes and OEM shells.

[conan7772]

yeah hanging to tighten up the wagon,

hey Dale, how you going with my brace mate ?

Car's up on the hoist atm.

cheers

Just finally fitted the SuperPro sway bars front and back.

Massive improvement.

Went the biggest sizes and put them on the tightest setting straight away.

Well worth it

[conan7772]

After fitting the sway bars:

tighten up one thing, another shits itself..

the car was feeling perfect, tight and quiet.

now there's are massive knock and it feels shithouse again. Loose front end.

I put it up on ramps, jacked up each side, shook everything, can't find it.

if I swerve front left to right quickly I can make it knock on every turn.

then it keeps on knocking until the car stops swaying.

great,,,, off to the shop again
