Found this on eBay- still a overseas vendor, however, if you zoom in on the pics you can clearly see "Nissan" and "Tokico."


Old/ stock image? Maybe. NOS? Possible, but doubtful.

@ILM-NC G37S I was checking the PNs on eBay and found this as well. Seller is in the UAE, so shipping is pricey, but they have the entire set. Emailed the seller on eBay to see if they'd reduce the shipping cost if I buy all 4 and maybe send pics of the PN/Branding on each. May be another good source for OEM parts in addition to Amayama.

If the question of upgraded sway bars is to "just get them and take the win", the question is: which ones?

And shouldn't it matter which springs/coils you're using?

For example I have BC Racing BR divorced coils with the springs that came with them. Some have true coils, some have swift springs, some have other spring rates, and some have different coils entirely.

If I was ever to do sways I might consider switching coils, too.. it's just not very economical considering I already have coils.. and I'm trying to save for other things anyway. I know there are better options out there in terms of adjustability and comfort that cost more. These came with the car so it would have been different if I bought the coils myself. At the very least I would have bought true coils.

But the question remains: how do you decide which swaybars? And I forgot but wasn't it the case that the car has good fronts (or rears?) and only needs the other one? Or Do people tend to just put both? And then what about the end links?

CZP support is far superior and I really want to support them, but they cost more than Z1 and my OCD leans me towards Z1 because they sell related components and I already have Z1 rear camber arms .

Per my post above: https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-sed...ml#post4338763

I like Stillen because they emulate the size of the 370Z Nismo bars, are adjustable and can utilize the new bushing and endlinks I just purchased. I also like that they are a local company supporting our cars. I will likely buy from CZP or Z1 when they launch their Memorial Day sale. Stillen will host one as well based on my conversation with them earlier this week.

eBay screws a lot of people on shipping rates and policies. I cut back a lot in using their platform but that's my choice.

You choose where Amayama ships from: either Japan or UAE and also what shipping method (FedEx, DHL, EMS, etc). My last order (sway bar end links) came from UAE ($85 shipped all 4) via EMS and took about 10 days door to door (slow USPS notwithstanding).

Keep in mind that anything over (I think) $700 gets customs import fees added. Also, IDK if this new rule by the present cluck-in-chief that any inbound shipments over $800 get taxed affects global or just China parcels. Might want to be aware of that potential up charge as well.

Maybe split the order into 2 smaller ones?

All good points. Forgot about customs fees and weekly pivot related tariffs.

you bought stock sway bars? What happened to your originals?

Just the end links. After 17-years and 122K miles the rears are shot. Will just replace all 4 and be done with it. Eventually.

That's right. You were the one that convinced me to revisit the endlinks. I also purchased new front Swaybar bushings (running on the originals). That's when I started thinking I should try a set of new bars. I purchase from Z1, but Amayama may be cheaper, haven't checked.

In my case I kept hearing a clicking sound in the right rear end. At first I thought it might have been the infamous "axle click" that plagued some models but the clicking was more predominant when going over speed bumps or pot hole-ridden parking lots. Once I removed the rear wheel, it was clear the end link was shot. Very loose at the joints/bushings. Cheap fix. One of those "it takes longer to get to the project than it does to complete it" deals. Again, for a 17-year-old car with 122K miles, I can't complain. Even with shot end links the car rides better than my Zed/4 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks. He used an electrostatic gun of some sort to lightly cover the area in a few coats with a strong synthetic felt material that contained adhesive.

Guy is an artist. I take all of my cars to him for interior repairs. If he cannot fix (i.e. torn seat covers - he lacks the correct sewing machine), he will refer me to someone in his network that is equally as skilled and priced fairly.

He even used some industrial strength cleaner on the leather and the bolsters look brand new again.

The bad thing about Nissan/Infiniti shocks are the short travel. Fine for smooth roads but no so good if the roads aren't so good, as you are constantly riding the bump stops, which lead to a choppy ride. They chose handling over ride quality.

Which shocks would you recommend as replacements?

I like a firm ride! I did like the Tein Street Basis Z and the Enduro Pro Plus set to full stiff. But they did not last long at all. I hear that's a common issue with Tein shocks. That could because of my IPL springs though.
