Tie Rod for R33

[predator]

Anybody know what cars the R33 shares the tie rod with? Does it share a common part with other Nissans such as the S14/S15, Maxima or something like that does anybody know?

General fact of the day: For those that aren't familiar, its basically the rod that controls the toe in/out of each wheel from the power steering and goes to the back of the disc on each wheel. If you're having massive problems with your car pulling to the right or left and its not alignment, could be that is bent (like mine). Commonly destroyed when running over a gutter, or some old bitch who should never be driving at that age at that time of night running into you

Mine is bent and either needs replacing or straightening. I know places will go "oh its an import don't know the part" .. so if i can track down a part might make it easier.

How hard is it to take off?

[Greg]

Its really easy. I've replaced my left one myself by just jacking the car up and unscrewing it. I had to buy a full hicas rack because wreckers don't like separating the tie rods. Hope this helps

[predator]

This is front end but i assume its fairly similar.. Did look rather easy, and i thought you should just be able to unbolt it and replace with another one.. wanted it driveable at that point, so didn't start unbolting myself. But cheers, will help!

How much did the whole HICAS rack end up costing you from the wreckers?

[Greg]

I got the hicas rack from skyline33 for $250 from memory but usually they are more than this.

Yeah i should have realised you were talking about the front end because u mentioned power steering in your frist post...oh well.

Hows your car? any panel damage or is it just the tie rod?

I thought if you took the tie rod end into repco they should have been able to hook you up??

you can buy them direct from nissan but apparently their are 3 different types so take one down and get them to get you the same type
