hey guys, thanks for all the responses really helpful. I ended up finding a mechanic who builds skylines as a hobby so he always has a bunch of parts laying around, so he checked it out for me, i replaced my tie rods and the ends, and one of the upper control arms, he also helped me out with some body work and he did it all for like 300 dollars. he told me that my other control arms were still good and that the other mechanic that looked at them was trying to hustle me lol. I'm putting in a cold air intake soon, and hopefully a turbo depending on whether i decide to ship my car back to canada when im done studying on the island. ERO54N, i'm getting a paint job on the car soon, when i do ill definately take some pictures and post them here.
once again thanks alot everyone
