R32 Gtr Toe?

[cochee_15]

Hi.

I recently had a wheel allignment done by a reputable specialist and they noted that lots of my alignments were way out of the acceptable limits. I have gathered a few parts to help correct these issues but am having trouble finding any information on how to adjust the rear toe?

So what I'm after is a product that will allow more adjustment. I was looking for Toe Rods but apparently they don't fit 32 GTR's.

Any help would be appreciated.

And just incase it helps I currently have Tein Coilovers and whiteline swaybars both front and rear and a hicas lock bar I also have rear traction rods and rear upper camber arms on the way. As well as Front upper camber arm and Castor rods.

OK the good news is what you need is very simple. not toe rods but tie rods

Assuming nothing is bent....

The rear toe on a GTR is controlled by a steering rack, exactly like the front every other car. The steering rack is called HICAS.

At the end of the steering rack there are a few pieces that require replacement over the years. From outside (hub) to inside (steering/hicas rack) they are:

Ball joint - there is a nasty little ball joint pressed into the hub. I have only ever found these at nissan. They are expensive if they need replacement, but if they are rooted it makes a hge difference to fix them

Rod End / Outer tie rod - this is the most common wear point in most cars, and suspension places that don't know gtrs often suggest they be replaced when there is movement. There are reasonably priced (ie not nissan) options to replace these. They are normally OK on GTRs because the inner tie rod end wears first....

Inner tie rod - this is the most common wear point on a gtr. There is a non-nissan option (sorry I don't have the brand or part number handy). There is a nylon bush on the end of the inner tie rod end that wears causing slop or movement in the racks/hubs. These often need replacement.

But....you said you needed to adjust the rear toe. Like most car's front steering rack, there is normally heaps of adjustment available in the factory setup. If they can't fix it with the factory gear you almost certainly have something else bent.....so the easiest fix is to replce the bent bit, then everything else will come good, the way nissan designed it. There are some cases where the factory toe genuinely runs out of adjustment, but this is normally only the case with extreme lowering or race car style alignment

That was exactly the answer I was looking for. Thanks for your help.
