Tie rod ends are the same as ball joints, right?

If so, ring Nissan, they can organise those for you.

Otherwise do what I suggested before when you PM'd me, and search.

People here are happy to help, but you have to try and do some research.

Searching for ball joints found my thread from two months ago, and also enlightened me on my irritating wiper problem. Awesome!

And not sure where that relay was, but looks like the 4WD relay to me.

Tie rod end is on the end of the steering rack, the ball joint is on the ends of both the upper and lower control arms linking the hub upright together.

Ball joint go with what Ryan found in his topic, as for the tie rod end go to Nissan.

have had a search on the relay, cant find what it is only that its a bracket relay. will ring nissan tomorrow and see if they can find it out

ill buy the 2 lights, just in case one side is better quality, if so i can put both in and both sides will look the same :)

thanks for your help mate!

for postage ill go EMS/AIR

what postage would i pick ? b or c ?

thanks

Two headlights via EMS will be around $200... from experience :(

gave main north nissan a call about the relay, they couldn't even tell me what it done, only that they could get 1 for $150 in japan, 2-3 weeks wait, going to a couple of wreckers on friday, see if i can get me one :)

Is this a build thread or a repair thread? Are you just fixing this up to be a nice daily or do you want it to be unique?

If it's the latter, rip off the flares, find an aero bar and fit some aftermarket overfenders. :banana:

Granted these examples are not a M35, but you may get the idea...

What I'm getting at though, is that if you're planning on modifying it you may be able to save some decent coin in the long run by just getting it on the road, looking however it does, and then using overfenders instead of the standard stuff..?

but wont buying 4 overfenders cost more than buying one standard flare?

    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything. 
    • That is gates blue racing belt
    • Anyone found gates blue racing to be extremely tight/ almost impossible to install without moving the exhaust gear
