Hey everyone,

I am after some Tie Rod Ends for my R33 GTR.

The genuine nissan ones are around $100 each, are there cheaper after market alternative's available?

Also is it best practice to just replace the worn out one, or replace both left and right?

Called them up, said they are marked for the R33 GTs-T, and in the comments says "Will not fit R33 GTR"...dammit lol.

I might go and grab them anyway as i am in the area. If they fit, they fit. Otherwise can return.

$35 like you said.

Have you used those ones on a R33 GTR before xalmon?

Checked out the ones i got from Bursons.

No go, they are heaps smaller then the ones i have on there.

Didn't even bother to fully open them up as they won't fit.

Ill try pedders, otherwise I think i will just go genuine from Nissan for $100 each :(

Definatley looked on eBay, I do need the outer tie rod ends.

the ones being sold for the R33 GTR, are not compatible. More so of a scam/false advertising. Check out the pics in both the R33 "4WD" and RWD ones, pics are of the same item. They are the exact same ones i got from Bursons. Probably sweet for a R33 GTS-T, but the R33 GTR part is different. Its quite bigger physically. Its a bit fatter and the thread at the top is longer.

I have done a search on a forums for the ones sold on eBay, found a user stating they don't fit. He could have gotten his money back, but as usual you have to pay return shipping. Probably voiding any effort of a refund.

Ended up just ordered some in over the phone from my local nissan dealership.

$111 for one >_<

Not sure if ill do the other one at the moment, as it has no play....

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)

      Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.

      SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!!

      The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
