Tie rod ends are the same as ball joints, right?

If so, ring Nissan, they can organise those for you.

Otherwise do what I suggested before when you PM'd me, and search.

People here are happy to help, but you have to try and do some research.

Searching for ball joints found my thread from two months ago, and also enlightened me on my irritating wiper problem. Awesome!

And not sure where that relay was, but looks like the 4WD relay to me.

Tie rod end is on the end of the steering rack, the ball joint is on the ends of both the upper and lower control arms linking the hub upright together.

Ball joint go with what Ryan found in his topic, as for the tie rod end go to Nissan.

have had a search on the relay, cant find what it is only that its a bracket relay. will ring nissan tomorrow and see if they can find it out

ill buy the 2 lights, just in case one side is better quality, if so i can put both in and both sides will look the same :)

thanks for your help mate!

for postage ill go EMS/AIR

what postage would i pick ? b or c ?

thanks

Two headlights via EMS will be around $200... from experience :(

gave main north nissan a call about the relay, they couldn't even tell me what it done, only that they could get 1 for $150 in japan, 2-3 weeks wait, going to a couple of wreckers on friday, see if i can get me one :)

Is this a build thread or a repair thread? Are you just fixing this up to be a nice daily or do you want it to be unique?

If it's the latter, rip off the flares, find an aero bar and fit some aftermarket overfenders. :banana:

Granted these examples are not a M35, but you may get the idea...

What I'm getting at though, is that if you're planning on modifying it you may be able to save some decent coin in the long run by just getting it on the road, looking however it does, and then using overfenders instead of the standard stuff..?

but wont buying 4 overfenders cost more than buying one standard flare?

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
