Steering Rack Question?

[85URK]

Hey guys, i am in the process of reco-ing the rack out of my 33 gtr, just wondering if there was any difference between the GTR models in the racks or are they the same? i.e internal parts etc.

also coz of the hicas on the R32's being hydraulic does it it make the steering rack up front different?

and can any body tell me whether you can buy outer rack ends in oz and if there is any models that are oz delivered that will fit R33 Racks?

Cheers

Darren.

Well apparently after going to the local spare parts shop, they said the R32,R33 are the same outer tie rod ends, which i assume would mean the same rack.

Approx price was like $28ea

Im probably just going to order some and then compare them with the old ones before fitting them, but im sure they will fit.

fingers crossed now that the rack itself gets reco'd ok.

ok well when the parts arrived they were not long enough compared to my standard ones up the threaded part and the tapered part was also not long enough, i tried a number of parts stores who each said they had the parts and when i went to check, they were all wrong. even tried pedders who have a listing on there website for them but when i went in same deal they were not correct parts when compared to OEM ones.

It is looking more and more likely that il have to buy genuine for R33 GTR Outer tie rod ends.

so if anybody has any more info or part numbers for these models and parts, let me know, id still like to find an alternative to genunie if possible.

You still after some outer tie rod ends? I've found a source for some R33 GTS-T ones. But I don't know if they are the same as the GTR ones.

The GTR and GTS-4 tie rod ends are different to all the other rear wheel drive Skylines.

The front wheel drive wheel hub carriers are totally different, and the much fatter ball joint taper means the tie rod ends are not interchangeable.

Many of the aftermarket tie rod ends listed for R32, R33, R34 fit normal Skylines o/k, but not the GTR or GTS-4.
