Get underneath and twist the tie rods/rack ends; I bet there's a clunk. I just had an alignment on mine, and this has disturbed the inner rack ends; which have developed a knock.

They appear to be the same as V35 and 350z rack ends from my search of common part numbers. Can anyone confirm?

V35/350Z ball joints are the same. I've just had mine fitted and the car feels amazing.

eBay is the place to get them. Nissan will only sell the entire setup, at $800/side.

I also checked Ebay but with no luck finding them today

You need to get a computer. It'll make things much easier compared to trying to use your phone. Not trying to be an asshole, just trying to help!

Pretty sure this is where I got mine from, but with the exchange rate they're cheaper now: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-FRONT-LOWER-BALL-JOINT-NISSAN-350Z-03-09-/250697175942?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a5eb75386#ht_863wt_891

How long did they take to arrive? I'm looking at getting my rack ends through him.

is there a front and rear set of these?

cos I can occasionally hear clunking from the rear...

Let me know if you locate the clunking at the rear. Mine started making a clunking noise a month or so ago & unable to work out what it is. Seems totally random, not just turning a particular direction, accelerating, decelerating, bumpy or smooth road - can't get a handle on it. Audible from outside too.

Less than a week. Pretty happy all round with them - very quick (coming from Taiwan) and very cheap).

Isn't the rear clunking normally the sway bar links/mounts?

That's pretty good then. Looks like I'm placing an order.whistling.gif

Sway Bar mounts & links are normally fairly repeatable; they either do, or they don't. They also load & unload fairly regularly, so they tend to be fairly vocal.

There is a ball joint in the upper "A" arm in the rear, the rest is bushes. Shouldn't be too hard to apply some leverage to the arm to check for noise.

Mine is exactly the same...random...

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
