How often are you planning on changing your tie rod ends? It you consider how long they last and knowing that they are going to fit perfectly the price Nissan ask probably isn't too bad.

You may be able to get the parts through a place that does steering/suspension/wheel aligning work but I don't know if they would sell just the parts to you. At any rate you should get a wheel alignment after changing the tie rod ends so it may be better to get the wheel alignment shop to install them as well.

Btw, Nissan dealer charged me $120-$130 per tie rod end.

You get what you pay for when it comes to tie rod ends. You can see the difference in quality when you put aftermarket up along side an original nissan item.

Where abouts are you located? PM if in Melbourne as I can source genuine at a much better price than $150 each

I did mine a couple of years ago, got the bits from NIssan Moorooka in Brisi. The tierod were $75 each - these are pressed into the hubs. The rack ends (with the balljoint) that connect to the tierod ends were about $110 each.

The rear steering doesn't have a conventional tierod i.e. the rotating joint is attached to the hub. I don't think you will need to replace the tierod ends, maybe the rackends and the tierods.

Just an update.......

The tie rod ends/ rack ends i bought from pedders were no good - taper on the bolt wasn't wide enough so they didn't even take up the slack in the knuckle, causing a lot of headache. I am now chasing the genuine Nissan part number for left and right rack ends if anybody can assist....

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
