the alloy bushes jammed in the rear cradle like this serve the same purpose as the Noltec sub frame bushes.

Yes the end result is the same and NVH is very much the same anyway.

staying on tie rod topic lol

im in 3 minds

JJR

Tein

Kazama

i wanna know which ones would last a while and be best to use.

looks like JJR arent too bad, but would they last ?

hhmmm

also they look pretty dodgy lol

rocket and VPW keep the full range of replacement rose joints, i have a set of JJR ones in cats car but with QA1 ends as the originals lasted about 2 event's before gettng sloppy. I ran ikeya formula rod ends on my 180 with no dramas for 3 years....

A mate in QLD recently snapped his stock tie rods and then after "upgrading" also snapped his JJR tie rod in his drift A31. Not the best quality by the looks of it, currently replacing them with tein tie rod kit that includes tie rods/tie rod ends and spacers for more lock. rrp $359 through www.isc-performance.com.

Any photos of the failures? I am amazed he snapped the std ones! Bend maybe, but snap? The material grade they use normally means they are very ductile....this is assuming he didnt right off the entire side of the car...in which case not the fault of the std ones :)

Ive got kts ends on ikeya rods at the moment

daily driving havent noticed any wearing yet but they havent been on long

might end up getting the ones dave has as I think they would probably pass regency down here

whats the point of you fitting them ?

you getting bump steer

or you just need new ends

if you want to do the rears do it properly and swap in a s13 non hicas rear craddle less hassle in the long run

its what Ive done

Edited by 1400r

I already have a diff in my rear with some bushes etc etc, so owes me too much money to swap to an S13 cradle. If anything i will go GTR that way i get all the alloy goodness, bigger shafts etc and then just get new shocks (again ;))

Yeh, i needed new ones so if im going ot be spending hundreds on Nissan OE, may as well spend a little less and get something that may end up better.

Im going to pull out my rears and make up some of my own :(

There is also these ones http://www.tuneagent.com.au/public/merchan...Item.aspx?id=22, they also fit the R34's.

Australian mob plus they come with a 1 year warranty. Look to be of pretty good quality, and for the price you cant go wrong.

Just orderd some myself, so gonna see how they go.

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
