IMPROVING the R35 GT-R! Part 2 - Forged Performance Sway Bars
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- Join us on our multi-part journey to improving what is arguably the best car ever made. Inexperienced "tuners" can easily ruin the R35 GT-R's performance prowess by just throwing parts at it without giving any thought to how all the parts are going to work together. That is NOT how we do things here at MotoIQ!
In Part 2 of our series we install a set of Forged Performance sway bars.

I could listen to Mike explain car tech all day!
throw in some before and after test drives, thanks for your uploads!
Love these videos man! Keep them coming!
MOAR kojima! But I read countless discussions about how sway bars actually decrease mechanical grip; and how purely the springs would be the more optimum way to change an axles roll resistance. All the way to run withOUT the bars; but with high springs and shocks valved for such stiff springs. While kojima-san demonstrated the ease of changing the bar rate on the fly; am curious what does kojima san think about running Without sway bars? Heck some compare sway bars to "kinda like live axles" too. Cheers ^_^
That is only true if you take sway bars to the extremes of overall roll stiffness contribution.
Mike Kojima Thanks! Say if sway bars contribute to like 70% or more of wheel rate ; would you call that extreme? (And am stoacked that Kojima himself is replying back ^_^)
It's not really wheel rate, it is a separate calculation. 70% of total roll resistance is the high end of resonable.
Mike Kojima thanks again sir! If it's not the wheel rate; what would determine it if I may ask? Am learning here and I would love to know more.... but perhaps a RUclips comment wouldn't suffice such juicy topics (maybe a video on this plz? ^_^). I already read, like several times, your ultimate suspension guides on motoIQ and from that I reckon its a more complex calculation than simply the wheel rates ... I hope -pretty please- that you would go into which situations would a race can car do away with /minimize the sway bars use.
In my opinion, the only time you would do away with bars is if you had extreme stiffness in the suspension such as in a heavily downforce dependent car like a formula car and sometimes not even then.
nice videos. very helpful for my build
We would run a very small bar in the back of the GT3 GTR. Sometimes even remove an end link. Front bar was massive and always on full stiff! You need some back to back track testing for these types of videos :)
E46 bmw with those wheels in the background!
Love this very informative content guys! Make more if you can!! 💓
Mike, when do you decide to go with a stiffer bar or stiffer springs to improve roll resistance? Love this series!
You need to look at the ratio of spring stiffness to roll reduction vs the bars. You don't want to have too much in the bars or you get weird stuff like wheel lifting or a loss of traction on the inside wheels.
Another great video
Nice R32 back there!
on the rear of the gtr who supply the rear undertray fin. thanks
I made my end links weaker since I want them to fail before the bar mount rips out of the car
Tuning done right:
Step 1: Purchase 2021 Nissan GT-R
Step 2: Send it to Mike Kojima at MotoIQ
Step 3: Enjoy
Did you get the Forged bars recently? I thought they were revising their mounts so they stopped making them for a while (at least that's what Kim @ Forged told me).
We believe you are correct, we heard they are currently not available as one of our race prep customers tried to order some.
Do you have a link for these swag bars sir? I can’t seem to find them for sale on the net.
They got discontinued.
I wish Mike was my uncle!
And he wishes you were his nephew!
