the alloy bushes jammed in the rear cradle like this serve the same purpose as the Noltec sub frame bushes.

Yes the end result is the same and NVH is very much the same anyway.

staying on tie rod topic lol

im in 3 minds

JJR

Tein

Kazama

i wanna know which ones would last a while and be best to use.

looks like JJR arent too bad, but would they last ?

hhmmm

also they look pretty dodgy lol

rocket and VPW keep the full range of replacement rose joints, i have a set of JJR ones in cats car but with QA1 ends as the originals lasted about 2 event's before gettng sloppy. I ran ikeya formula rod ends on my 180 with no dramas for 3 years....

A mate in QLD recently snapped his stock tie rods and then after "upgrading" also snapped his JJR tie rod in his drift A31. Not the best quality by the looks of it, currently replacing them with tein tie rod kit that includes tie rods/tie rod ends and spacers for more lock. rrp $359 through www.isc-performance.com.

Any photos of the failures? I am amazed he snapped the std ones! Bend maybe, but snap? The material grade they use normally means they are very ductile....this is assuming he didnt right off the entire side of the car...in which case not the fault of the std ones :)

Ive got kts ends on ikeya rods at the moment

daily driving havent noticed any wearing yet but they havent been on long

might end up getting the ones dave has as I think they would probably pass regency down here

whats the point of you fitting them ?

you getting bump steer

or you just need new ends

if you want to do the rears do it properly and swap in a s13 non hicas rear craddle less hassle in the long run

its what Ive done

Edited by 1400r

I already have a diff in my rear with some bushes etc etc, so owes me too much money to swap to an S13 cradle. If anything i will go GTR that way i get all the alloy goodness, bigger shafts etc and then just get new shocks (again ;))

Yeh, i needed new ones so if im going ot be spending hundreds on Nissan OE, may as well spend a little less and get something that may end up better.

Im going to pull out my rears and make up some of my own :(

  • 1 year later...

There is also these ones http://www.tuneagent.com.au/public/merchan...Item.aspx?id=22, they also fit the R34's.

Australian mob plus they come with a 1 year warranty. Look to be of pretty good quality, and for the price you cant go wrong.

Just orderd some myself, so gonna see how they go.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
