I need to replace some tired tie rod ends in the Series 2.

I have searched and found that that some were going to use R33 GTR ones, but the threads do not have any feadback beyond that-

- if they fitted up OK?

- if there were any problems with wheel alignment, tyre wear etc?

I can get the originals from Nissan Aust ($89 each in stock) or Burson's have aftermarket ones for under $30 each.

What have other people used as replacements?

The LH front one seems to go before the RH one. Is it just worth replacing both at the same time?

Are the R33GTR ones the same as the R33GTST ones?

Anyone with wheel alignment specs for a stock Stagea?

Thanks Chook,

Is this part number the same for the Series 2 Stagea? Can you have a look on FAST?

looks to be same, couple variations for different models, pm me your VIN and i can confirm.

With S/H ones, be careful, I went thru a long battle til I got the correct one. If possible with new or used take the original with you.

OK I finally had the LH outer tie rod replaced on the Series 2 Stagea (1998 4WD).

This is what fits- Nissan genuine part No: 48520-23U26, cost was $87.

City Nissan Melbourne- parts centre Tel (03) 8383-8844.

The R33GTR aftermarket ones that were tried both did not fit! (Tried from Bursons and Repco).

Why is it that the LH outer always goes before the RH one?

Did they ever tell you if that part number was also compatible with R33 GTR at all? i need to replace mine, thats all and my local nissan dealership Quoted me $113.50ea

I think im going to ring the nissan melb number u have posted and ask directly, as my local dealership said they can get it out of melb over night anyway, so cut out the middle man?

Ring Nissan City Melbourne & give them your VIN no.- they will then give the right part number and a quote.

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
