K i have now found rear ball joints for my car.

What I did was remove the ball joint, measured it then checked out a couple of different one's to find out that they are the same as the front ball joints

Nissan do not list a separate part for the ball joint they list the control arm with the ball joint fitted and they are expensive. You can buy aftermarket ball joints and just press out the old ones and press the new ones in. I got mine from my local suspension place.

This is the confusing issue with nissan in regards to ball joints I rang 2 different nissan spares and one told me I had to get the whole set as you said then I rang another and they sourced me just the two ball joints on there own, this was from berwick nissan by the way.

yea i have replaced the rear ball joints now and yea nissan just list the whole arm but once i pull out the old ball joints for the rear i found that they were the same as the front. I'll put a part no. up tomorrow as i have the parts at work as i do all my own work on my car :D

    • Thanks mate 👍 The car was brought into the UK by a USAF mechanic until he was stationed back to the US, one owner later I bought her back in 2009. Luckily the only corrosion was on the sill seams, so once taken back to metal and treated and sealed all ok, I then undersealed the car myself and check yearly and treat any corrosion which to be honest is zero. She's garaged most of the time and hardly ever driven in the rain, but as you say most are rotten unfortunately, I was lucky in finding her as she was and still is in excellent condition.  
    • Stunning car.  Looks amazing!  You're in the UK?  How the hell do you stop your car rotting away beneath you?  British cars are the WORST I've ever seen in regards to rust.  Some of the cars SR Autobody have done are borderbeyond saving.
    • not a date code? or a foundry code? 
    • I have up to date pics of the engine build and turbo conversion over on my instagram @skpro_jects if you want to take a deeper look.   Basically the exhaust manifold is straight bolt on and the ports match (they arent any smaller than a 25 or 26 head).    the intake ports are different shape so the 20/25det manifold will bolt up but wont match properly or seal. You will need to port match using the 25det gasket as a stencil. Personally i ran the entire stock 20neo intake setup and have configured the swirl valves and torque valve to work based on my custom parameters to help with off boost response and spool. But this is using a standalone aem v2 ecu. The stock 20det ecu wont be able to control them.     
    • Hi. a little later but if the topic is here. So...the exhaust is the same and you can use 25/Turbo or any aftermarket? What about intake side? Is it too "plug n play" or? (i do not remember for 100% but i think that one intake to head gasket was little bit different than on the RB25 - i bought gasket kit way back) I know that even if it "plug" those butterfly swirls would cause ECU to be confused or?   Just asking for the info 🙂 and of course the RB25 things are easier to come by
