lets be realistic here.

odds of him holding a D1 licence? 1%

odds of him obtaining one within a year? 2%

From my conversion using the RB crossmember, the oil pan actually rested on the sway bar, with no clearance at all. I used the stock R32 sway bar and "customized" it to fit the 240 chassis. Had to cut some off each end, hammer the ends flat again, and redrill for mounting holes but works extremely well.

Who cares if he is in D1GP or not, thats not even the point. He asked a question and it was answered, no need to bash something not provable without going into too much trouble. Its just a waste of time.

remove the 2 things that the sway bar mounts on, with the studs sticking out,

put in longer studs, i welded the bolt head to the metal things, get 2 more longer bolts and make some spacers out of metal 1/2 inch spacers should do it.
