Well ladies and gentlemen,I found the answer to my own question. Just in case anyone else ever needs to know the Nissan part number is 55154-30POO. This is for the ball joint assembly and yes,the three letter suffix really is POO. ;) Must mean something different in Japanese. Fulcrum Suspension outlets can also get them for you. $80 each.

tierod ends on r32 are actually installed in the rear hubs and from memory the genuines are about the same price.

The steering 'arms' that fit directly to the rack are about $120 each genuine. If its the ones in the hub then you should consider replacing the other hub bushes.

Fulcrum actually developed their tools for replacing the R32 hub bushes on my car in Brisbane, the way all the links on the hubs stick out makes it very difficult to use a normal press to do the job.

Yeah due to the space and angle its almost impossible... well actually I found it totally impossible to use a conventional press ended up just giving in and taking it to a place on Kamholtz Court who funnily enough are the Gold Coast Fulcrum Specialists and they had no problems completing the task. I never knew they had a specific tool just for this application... glad I lucked out and took it to a fulcrum place.

just replace it when something goes wrong.

ive heard from a lot of sources that R33 front tie rods fit and they are much thicker

Yep there is a slight size difference but its negligible and they are much beefier and cheap as chips as a lot of ppl buying front cuts for RB25's usually throw away these parts and are glad to make anything from them.

yeah.. those guys did mine about 12 months ago as well.. They are pretty good with the old skylines.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      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.
