Hey guys, i am in the process of reco-ing the rack out of my 33 gtr, just wondering if there was any difference between the GTR models in the racks or are they the same? i.e internal parts etc.

also coz of the hicas on the R32's being hydraulic does it it make the steering rack up front different?

and can any body tell me whether you can buy outer rack ends in oz and if there is any models that are oz delivered that will fit R33 Racks?

Cheers

Darren.

Well apparently after going to the local spare parts shop, they said the R32,R33 are the same outer tie rod ends, which i assume would mean the same rack.

Approx price was like $28ea

Im probably just going to order some and then compare them with the old ones before fitting them, but im sure they will fit.

fingers crossed now that the rack itself gets reco'd ok.

ok well when the parts arrived they were not long enough compared to my standard ones up the threaded part and the tapered part was also not long enough, i tried a number of parts stores who each said they had the parts and when i went to check, they were all wrong. even tried pedders who have a listing on there website for them but when i went in same deal they were not correct parts when compared to OEM ones.

It is looking more and more likely that il have to buy genuine for R33 GTR Outer tie rod ends.

so if anybody has any more info or part numbers for these models and parts, let me know, id still like to find an alternative to genunie if possible.

You still after some outer tie rod ends? I've found a source for some R33 GTS-T ones. But I don't know if they are the same as the GTR ones.

The GTR and GTS-4 tie rod ends are different to all the other rear wheel drive Skylines.

The front wheel drive wheel hub carriers are totally different, and the much fatter ball joint taper means the tie rod ends are not interchangeable.

Many of the aftermarket tie rod ends listed for R32, R33, R34 fit normal Skylines o/k, but not the GTR or GTS-4.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
