This is a picture of the boxes that the Whiteline stabiliser bars were in, showing the part numbers.

They are R33GTR stabiliser bars, the R32GTR rear stabiliser bar (BNR26) won't fit. I had absolutely no problems fitting the front stabiliser bar, but the rear was a bit tricky. The standard bar is several mm smaller in OD than the Whiteline bar. So the critical measurement was the INSIDE of the U bend, as per the following photo;

Std_Vs_Whiteline_Rear_Bar_Marked.jpg

I have seen a couple of Whiteline GTR bars where the OUTSIDE of the U bend is the same as the standard bar. This means the inside of the U bend is 10 mm or so too close together. This means you can't do up the bolts on the D brackets.

If that is the case with your bar then send it back to Whiteline, tell them how much it is too narrow across the U bend and they will replace it.

cheers sk, so r33 gtr front and rears fit no problems yeah? is there any other additions to the suspension that is worth lookin at from whiteline? im getting tein coilovers, and the whiteline swaybars so far... so what else?

cheers

Hi Brad, I really liked the extra caster using the KCA332 adjustable bushes. Made a huge difference to the handling and steering response. Plus it took away that vague feeling around centre and added a bit of feel to the steering. The standard front rubber bushes where a bit worn on ours and it also removed a little shake, shake, shake going over bumps.

I didn't lower ours very much (25 mm front and 10 mm rear) so I didn't need any camber correction. The front ended up a nice 0.5 degree negative and I adjusted the rear using the standard adjuster.

It's all in the Stagea Suspension thread.:)

Well

I fitted my GTR sway bars yesterday and they make a big difference.

The only thing that i noticed was that YES, the sway bar is a little too short.

But the links on the end for me just bend out to counter that... meaning my rear sway bar looks like this

______/ instead of what my mates s14 looks like |_______|

If that bad, do i need to remove it and get another bar?

First two are right side, bottom one is left side...

Seems a little extreme for me, but it still works fine....

If i move the bar like, 5mm to the left, it would even the bends out to be almost identical/perfect...

But, if i need a new sway bar... what a bitch of a job...already waited two weeks for them both..

****EDIT****

Car was sitting on the side of the road there, leaning to the left hand side, on flat ground the two things point about the same angle... anyway, should i look to replacE?

sk?

isnt there a straight fit stagea one rather than the gtr one, as it obviously doesnt quite fit right ? :confused:  

cheers

Hi Brad, I used the part numbers in the previous post and they fit perfectly. If you get one that doesn't fit perfectly, it is a manufacturing fault (it does happen). Measure up how much it is out and then send it back. Whiteline will replace anything that isn't spot on for specification. :P

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
