Sway Bars, Track and AutoX?

Apollo8642

This guy really make his own life difficult doesn't he.

You get on here arguing semantics with people that clearly know more about this topic. I specially think this is really funny sense you write on your first post "I haven't been on a track yet but "canyon" running (in ohio we have crazy hills) the car felt ok with 255/285 tires, stock alignment (which in the rules of alignment are horrible) and a Whiteline front bar set to full stiff." then claim to have a track experience, on top of that then try to bash me for my setup. So you're either a pathetic liar, cause you seem to be contradicting yourself a lot, or your just another internet forum idiot, that spends more time on the forums then driving his uumm.. leased car, or both.

You also said "I have plenty of track time, probably more than you." "I'm not getting on a track where I know my skill will out do the car." "I've probably raced longer and more than you" It's funny you say that cause you have no idea who I am, or my history in motorsport, and for you to make that assumption really shows that anthing you say has no real validity here. The more you talk the less people respect you, and what you have to say about any matter on this forum. Furthermore I would think someone that is as talented as a driver as you want people to think you are, could grasp the idea of what makes a good driver. That skill is not based on the performance level of the vehicle, but on the drivers skill level to be able to control that vehicle, and make it perform to the best of it's abilities. This is one of the most obnoxious thing I've heard you said so far "I'm not getting on a track where I know my skill will out do the car." This shows everyone how much full of sh1t you really are.

So some history on my Nismo. The first owner bought the car in 2009, he had an oil cooler put on it, and started racing from day one. The first time I drove the car was on a track. The only things that have happen to this car when it was in it's stock form and racing, was fuel starvation issues (still is an issue), I have boiled the clutch fuild once, and I have of course over heated brakes but who hasn't, but luckily never any glazing, or anything serious no real issue there. I've never had any of the other problems you listed. Never cooked my diff or engine oil, never rolled the car, and the Nismo seats are good enough for HPDE's or club track days, and if the car was in full race trim it would be a whole nother matter.

Unlike you, I race my car. I don't read every little issue someone has, or trying to figure out the best setup of what my car needs. I'm out there figuring things out on my own for the most part, and I do all the work on my car. I could have easliy dropped $1000 on bars, and more renting out a skid pad for testing for a day. Thankfully on this forum I'm lucky to find like minded individuals that have real experience, that are willing to help out, and share their knowledge, and that saves me time, and money in this area.
You're getting into an argument about book intelligence over hands on experience with your comment "I have enough intelligence before I get on the track to read other peoples issues with this particular car and correct them before hand." I think it's more intelligent, and better in the long run to be able to run a car, figure out what it's lacking, and what changes it needs, then read it some place. I'll listen to any person's word that has the proven experience, then someone that read it in a book or website. Top with, I'm experiecing it all myself, and I have something to base what someone is saying, instead of taking it for face value, and maybe not understand what's going on fully.

Good day to you sir I said good day

So what have we gathered from all this.... LOL. Basically Synolimit feels that i dont know ****, and is too good of a driver for his 370. Then Apollo8642 feels Synolimit doesnt know ****, and is the only one man enough to jump his 370.

GSS138

I'm guessing that Syno is secretly Bobby Rahal. We all just got trolled by the master.

There are a few people on here that I listen to their opinions. The track rats. They have spent the money and did the driving and have the experience trying to improve. Others have good ideas that can be used. Still others, I don't know........................they have good points now and then.

Researching sway bars, came across this jewel. This helped me solidify my sway decision (hotch) and man up and get into an AutoX!

Just a heads up for people looking for just the hotchkis front bar. I bought the hotchkis and installed it today. Hotchkis sells the front by itself on their website, look for the bar 22441F, this is the front bar:

HOTCHKIS SPORT SUSPENSION SYSTEMS, PARTS, AND COMPLETE BOLT-IN PACKAGES » Blog Archive 2008+ NISSAN 370Z G37 G37S G35 SPORT FRONT SWAY BAR - HOTCHKIS SPORT SUSPENSION SYSTEMS, PARTS, AND COMPLETE BOLT-IN PACKAGES

Amazon Both Bars:

Amazon.com: Hotchkis 22441 Sport Sway Bar Set for Nissan 370Z, G37, G37S and G35 08+: Automotive

I bought both front and rear on amazon for $362. Front one by itself on the hotchkis website is $265. Sell the rear on eBay for $200 and your front bar price will be $162.

I wish I knew they sold it separately when I bought mine. Hotchkis is the way to go.

You sir are a miracle man.

Currently I'm running eibach front and rear bar with the front on stiff and rear on its softest setting. KW v3 coilovers and 275F 305R nitto NT01 tires. Would it be worth considering switching to hotchkis front and stock rear bar? Or would the difference be negligible at this point? I autocross the car frequently, do a HPDE or two a year, and daily drive it.

Sigh...why don't I ever see these fun posts until it's page 5. So much crap coming out of someone's mouth it's ridiculous. Why do I wish I was just a bit closer to Ohio???

Megan370z

thank you for the info !

I need to buy another front one because mine kept grinding on the road due a previous weak coilover setup (KW3)
