Need Help With A Part In Townsville...

[racingr33]

I know that this is off topic but I am in a bit of a spot... I have driven my R34 turbo sedan from Perth over the top and am in Townsville QLD on my way to Mission Beach. Coming out of Mt Isa the R34 was pulling to the right under brakes quite severely. After having a look I found that my after market right hand adjustable castor rod had snapped at the adjustment nut... it is quite OK to drive but can be dangerous under heavy braking so I would prefer to fix it before continuing on to Mission Beach.. the questions is.. does anyone in Townsville know here I can buy a factory castor rod? I am pretty sure that castor rods are the same for 180SX/Silvia, R32/33/34 and 300ZX although it is possible that lengths may vary slightly but I would appreciate anyone based in Townsville letting me know if there is a local import wrecker or anyone wrecking a Nissan import privately....

Also if interested in reading about some of my trip you can read it on my blog at http://car-import.blogspot.com/

All sorted out.. I got onto Xtreme Motorsports at 17 Ingham Rd in Townsville and they were great. Not only did they have an R33 castor rod but they also fitted it for me for only $75 all up! So many thanks to those who responded to my post and special thanks to Extreme Motorsports for their help. Make sure you go and see them for parts or just a chat if you are ever in Townsville.

Check out their very good website at http://www.x-trememotorsport.com/index.html

Now onto Mission Beach!
