Hey there guys,

Well it seems my tie-rod end bushes are split and are leaking grease so need a replacing, and according to this guide: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=107547

The tie-rod ends can be bought from Pedders Suspension for approx. $35 each. Pretty cheap compared to the $130 from Nissan. But on the Pedders site they have the same part number listed for the R32 & R33 GTS-T/GT-R but it doesn't have it listed for the R34. :blink:

So I'm just wondering then: could the tie-rod ends for the R32/R33 be used on my R34 GT-T? Any idea how much they might charge for labour to change it as well?

Cheers,

Andy

P.S - an allignment is definately needed after changing these yes?

Anybody have any ideas? I believe Pedders have a 12mm thread and 14mm thread version - any idea which one I need?

Need to go on a trip to Canberra this Friday so would like to get this repaired before leaving.

EDIT:

These are apparently the ones avaliable for the Skyline.

12mm thread 95mm long

12mm thread 101mm long

14mm thread 101mm long

Ok well heres another question:

I've been given the 12mm version and it doesn't fit which means I probably need the 14mm version. But when the bloke measured the length he said mine was 95mm long.

If the 14mm thread version only comes in the 101mm length, can I use the 101mm version instead of 95mm?

Well just so people know: I got the R33 tie-rod ends but they did not suit the R34 as they were too long, so we changed the steering rack arms (since one needed replacing anyway) to R33 ones as well and they bolted up perfectly.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
