M35 Front Ball Joints

Recommended Posts

So I took the car to get wheel aligned today, and it needs new front ball joints and bushes.

Bushes are easy. Looks like I want the eccentric SuperPro ones, as suggested by the suspension guys (http://superpro.com.au/find-superpro-parts-for-my-vehicle/part?id=SPF3297K).

Has anyone replaced the front ball joints? Any idea where to get a replacement set from?

Paul, no price yet, he was waiting for some callbacks.

Josh, nice find. Anyone know if V35 ball joints are the same as NM35? I know some stuff matches up, other stuff doesnt fit because of the front drive shafts.

$70 isnt too bad I guess. If theyre the same as V35/350Z I'll give Nissan a call too.

Car Torque should be, they're the Adelaide distributor. But doesn't it seem like a lot for a hunk of eurethane with some metal in the middle?

Does anyone know if V35/350Z front ball joints are the same as NM35s?

For those looking for this information later...

The V35/350Z front ball joints should be the same, and you have to get them from ebay as Josh showed above, i.e.: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-FRONT-LOWER-BALL-JOINT-Set-NISSAN-SKYLINE-V35-01-07-/190450769457?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c57c01e31#ht_2375wt_1180

Only available from Nissan complete with the spindle. I was quoted $806 per side. $1612 vs $70... I know what I'm doing!

ahh ok thanks. need to take it somewhere with one of those cards to get codes, engine light and the 4wd light is staying on the dash, not sure if that smashed relay might have been the 4wd relay.

its alright, i worked out what the noise was, it wasnt the fuel pump, it was the 4wd pump constanly working becuase the relay is half stuffed lol, got a new one on the way. the car is still classed as a repairable write off anyway so i still cant drive it on public roads :(

    • Doing it this weekend. For sure this time. Thank you forum gods.  And im running map sensor now with the haltech. Still have the AFMs attached to the mushroom dome shaped air filter things
    • Actually, it is probably pretty legit. I mean, it's still woke feminazi bullshit academia, but you would have to agree that it is very likely that there would be a correlation between wanting a loud exhaust and scoring at the unpleasant end of the scales for dark triad personality traits. The fact that they found it didn't correlate with narcissism and only with psychopathy and sadism definitely shows that the loud exhaust thing is more of a "f**k you" than a "look at me", and I reckon that rings pretty close to most of the dickheads who take it to the extreme. Remember, this is correlation with tendency to be closer to one end of a personality trait scale than the other end. Of course someone who is at the literal opposite end of the psychopathy scale is going to be so considerate of others that they wouldn't even think about wanting to upset anyone with a loud exhaust. So the finding isn't that "you are a psychopath". Just that you score more towards that end of the scale than someone who doesn't like loud exhausts (on average, not necessarily even for specific individuals).
    • Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.
    • Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.
