can you help the brother out???

Hello? Anyone?
I thought I'd increase this thread activity a bit to help in some small way in getting a response for Synchro.
Actually, I'm planning on installing these torsion bars, too, so I have a small personal interest here as well...

Synchro, now that you mention your concern over having the torsion bars oriented correctly, I thought I'd point out a slight ambiguity in Schlud's install procedure; here's a quote from the procedure:
"Each end will be stamped with a L and an R denoting which side the bar should be installed on. Right and Left are relative to FACING THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE [bold mine]. On the Nissan Motorsports bars the stamps are on the front of each bar (so the R should be installed on the passenger side with the stamp on the front wheel side of the bar."

If "facing the front of the vehicle" means standing outside of and in front of the car, then the RIGHT side is the driver side; however, Schlud mentions that the R-stamped t-bar goes in the passenger side.
If "facing the front of the vehicle" means from sitting inside the car, then there is no ambiguity. I kind of assumed that literature that comes with the t-bars would clear this up but I'm not sure as I haven't received mine yet. Well, just thought I'd bring this up in case I'm not the only one wondering & I hope this post doesn't divert any attention from Synchro's crisis.
Good luck Synchro & hopefully someone can shed some light here.
