Paul the local nissan dealer is great when you need parts. The girl there in the parts department knows her stuff, she'll find you anything you need to know.

For anything suspension wise, I'd recommend going up to WA Suspension in Ossy Park, R_Dirty_3 on the forums here works there so any questions, aim them his way :ninja:

And there is a 'workshop' thread in the WA section on these forums for places that have been recommended by skyline owners.

It is very likely you can get local alternatives too. I know they are available for 32 gtr and 33 gtst about 1/3 the price of nissan.

BTW I found in both cars I looked at that it is the inner part of the tie rod that wears (nylon joint) not the outer ball joint. So you might want to consider doing both inner and outer

Thanks for this info! I was rotating my tires last weekend and found my left wheel wobbling - Tie-rod end badly worn (don't know how it got a road worthy!) Jumped on the forum and after a bit of reading, decided to go genuine (read the story about taper diameters and lengths being different on alternatives). Called the local Nissan dealer and gave them the part # above. They called back 2 hours later and said they have it ready to pickup! I was expecting a 2 week wait and got a 2 hour wait instead! I am blown away by Nissan's support for a model that was never even sold here.

It cost $93. Out of interest, I also called Nissan parts in Japan - same part from Nissan Japan is 6300yen - which converted to almost exactly $93 on that day - coincidence?? :cool:

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
