hi everyone im in need of some help please.

first of all when it comes to suspension i dont really know much at all so here it goes:

i have an r34gtr and i have been told i need new tie rods or tie rod ends and i cant find any for a r34gtr.

now my next question is that i need some caster rods and i got some but was told they are the wrong ones and they are for a r34 gtt so does anyone have a pic of an r34gtr caster rod?

now my last question, now if you follow from the front tyre and go inwards towards the middle of the car you see where it joins up by a bolt or something and thats where i have noticed a leak, so is that the caster arm or something?

thanks.

scott.

Castor arms for 34 GTR's is a pain. Every idiot who sells them online states they are the same across all Skylines and even S1x cars... I can tell you they are not. They are a wishbone shaped design. Have a look underneath, easy to see that they are a V shape. I wanted to upgrade mine and couldn't find any options - but there should be some offset bushes out there...

thanks heaps mate, thats the answer ive been looking for that not even big named suspension places could help me with which ended in me getting the wrong ones. ill look for those bushes because thats all that needs to be replaced with them anyway. time to find some tie rods too.

thanks.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
