John,

Tie rod ends are replaced complete and you're best to try sourcing genuine Nissan, even good secondhand as opposed to the taiwanese replacements from Rare Spares. Unless of course you don't mind replacing them just about annually.

Cheers, D

Thanks Dennis and ydr...

The good news is that the local Nissan dealer has them in stock. Part# 48520 0\L25 if anyone's interested.

The bad news is the price $166.90 for one!

Will look for good secondhand tie rod ends (while the genuine items gather more dust in the warehouse). No rush, current ones are still good enough.

John,

With your steering linkage as well, you can buy a/mkt boots that go on the knuckles/joints to help keep the water and dust out of so far good joints. Does wonders for the life of the steering.

To change the subject a little, there has been lots of discussions about rack 'n' pinion conversion, maybe try fixing the old before embarking on the new. Replace the worn bushes in the idler arm with urethane/ester, rebuild the steering box, will all contribute to much tighter more responsive steering & feedback.

For those that are interested, along with Mag86, we are trying to develop a steering box brace which will improve steering feel by leaps n bounds and maybe a brake master cylinder support as well.

Cheers, D

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
