Hello all,

I found out one of my tie rod/rack ends has a bit of play in it making it virtually impossible to get a good alignment.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows if there are rose jointed ones available? My google-fu must be busted, as I can find silvia ones no worries, but no R32 GTR.

Any help/ideas?

Steven

Don't know if these fit GTR but work well on my gts. Not genuine nissan but fron nissan they are about $200 a side.

Question about tierod link.

Are these any good quality wise compared to nissan ones?.

Are they easy to replace?.

Anything else should be done while rack partly dissasembled?.

does anyone know where to get steering componites at a decent price.

ie-- ball joints, tierod ends etc.

I done mine a year ago, sorry for the news, gts-t and gtr ARE different.

You have limited choices, 1. 2nd hand(this is what I went for), 2. New genuine. 3. Aftermarket from a proper Japanese tuning company. But beware, when i was looking, the aftermarket ones were about 6-700 a pair....

Good luck.

Let us know if you find anything else.

    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
