Stu

cheers everyone, looks like the skyline part they ordered will be OK. Find out tomorrow i guess :(

$100 retail from Nissan, I will put the part number up once I get it in case anyone needs to know.

buy aftermarket

its only like 40.00 more for a pair

The R33 tie rod ends are half the size of the stagea end, they have nearly 10mm play in the housing on the hub... most definately not a SAFE replacement.

3 different tie rods outers for Stageas, depending on model, year, 4wd/2wd, MT/AT etc

48520-0cu25(2wd)

48520-15u25(4wd)

48520-23u25(4wd)

2 different for R33, both are same part # as 2 of the 3 Stagea tie rods.

48520-15u25(2wd)

48520-23u25(4wd)

best to ensure you are getting right part for your car. pm me your vin and ill let you know.

I am not 100% but think the correct one is an R34 GTR. I went through this a couple of years ago. It was the fourth one I got from the wreckers that was correct.

From memory the first one was for a smaller dia tie rod. The second was the correct dia, but the threaded section was too long. I cut it shorter but then discovered the thread depth was now too shallow. The third was the correct dia and length but the taper was too small.

Fourth time correct. The length from the center of the taper pin to the end of the threaded section is approx 90mm.

It was a sod of an experience. And verx exxy, as with allthe running around I chopped out two tyres.

well i've ordered the 33gtr tie rod, hopefully its right, my reasoning behind it was that the 33gtr/gtst/ stagea all have the same chassis, so i figured the steering and suspension would be similar, anyways ill find out next week when it gets here

also interesting to note that extension housing seal is the same as 32/33 rwd's and also subaru 4wd's

how did you go? i have a S2 stagea and I ordered the R33gtr tie rod from bursons.. went to install it to find the threaded part far too short to fit the nut and split pin back on.

Look at my previous post, it gives all the pitfalls.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
