Stu

buy aftermarket

its only like 40.00 more for a pair

The R33 tie rod ends are half the size of the stagea end, they have nearly 10mm play in the housing on the hub... most definately not a SAFE replacement.

3 different tie rods outers for Stageas, depending on model, year, 4wd/2wd, MT/AT etc

48520-0cu25(2wd)

48520-15u25(4wd)

48520-23u25(4wd)

2 different for R33, both are same part # as 2 of the 3 Stagea tie rods.

48520-15u25(2wd)

48520-23u25(4wd)

best to ensure you are getting right part for your car. pm me your vin and ill let you know.

I am not 100% but think the correct one is an R34 GTR. I went through this a couple of years ago. It was the fourth one I got from the wreckers that was correct.

From memory the first one was for a smaller dia tie rod. The second was the correct dia, but the threaded section was too long. I cut it shorter but then discovered the thread depth was now too shallow. The third was the correct dia and length but the taper was too small.

Fourth time correct. The length from the center of the taper pin to the end of the threaded section is approx 90mm.

It was a sod of an experience. And verx exxy, as with allthe running around I chopped out two tyres.

well i've ordered the 33gtr tie rod, hopefully its right, my reasoning behind it was that the 33gtr/gtst/ stagea all have the same chassis, so i figured the steering and suspension would be similar, anyways ill find out next week when it gets here

also interesting to note that extension housing seal is the same as 32/33 rwd's and also subaru 4wd's

how did you go? i have a S2 stagea and I ordered the R33gtr tie rod from bursons.. went to install it to find the threaded part far too short to fit the nut and split pin back on.

Look at my previous post, it gives all the pitfalls.

    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.  
    • Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.     
    • @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!  
    • We import a lot of cars from Japan. I'd say that approximately 20% of our traffic is imported JDM cars (mainly consumer cars like the Mazda Demio, Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, Suzuki Swift, etc.). We also import a lot from the UK, but this has decreased after Brexit. Apart from the consumer vehicles, two of the larger, well-known dealerships frequently import iconic '80s/'90s JDM cars. I haven't heard of anyone importing from Australia, and they are not advertised (unlike Japanese ones), despite a lot of Maltese migrating to Australia in the '50s and '60s.
