K i have now found rear ball joints for my car.

What I did was remove the ball joint, measured it then checked out a couple of different one's to find out that they are the same as the front ball joints

Nissan do not list a separate part for the ball joint they list the control arm with the ball joint fitted and they are expensive. You can buy aftermarket ball joints and just press out the old ones and press the new ones in. I got mine from my local suspension place.

This is the confusing issue with nissan in regards to ball joints I rang 2 different nissan spares and one told me I had to get the whole set as you said then I rang another and they sourced me just the two ball joints on there own, this was from berwick nissan by the way.

yea i have replaced the rear ball joints now and yea nissan just list the whole arm but once i pull out the old ball joints for the rear i found that they were the same as the front. I'll put a part no. up tomorrow as i have the parts at work as i do all my own work on my car :D

    • 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.
    • 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.
