R34 Tie-rod Ends Questions: R32/r33 From Pedders Useable?

Hey there guys,

Well it seems my tie-rod end bushes are split and are leaking grease so need a replacing, and according to this guide: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=107547

The tie-rod ends can be bought from Pedders Suspension for approx. $35 each. Pretty cheap compared to the $130 from Nissan. But on the Pedders site they have the same part number listed for the R32 & R33 GTS-T/GT-R but it doesn't have it listed for the R34. :blink:

So I'm just wondering then: could the tie-rod ends for the R32/R33 be used on my R34 GT-T? Any idea how much they might charge for labour to change it as well?

Cheers,

Andy

P.S - an allignment is definately needed after changing these yes?

Anybody have any ideas? I believe Pedders have a 12mm thread and 14mm thread version - any idea which one I need?

Need to go on a trip to Canberra this Friday so would like to get this repaired before leaving.

EDIT:

These are apparently the ones avaliable for the Skyline.

12mm thread 95mm long

12mm thread 101mm long

14mm thread 101mm long

Ok well heres another question:

I've been given the 12mm version and it doesn't fit which means I probably need the 14mm version. But when the bloke measured the length he said mine was 95mm long.

If the 14mm thread version only comes in the 101mm length, can I use the 101mm version instead of 95mm?

Well just so people know: I got the R33 tie-rod ends but they did not suit the R34 as they were too long, so we changed the steering rack arms (since one needed replacing anyway) to R33 ones as well and they bolted up perfectly.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
