Tie Rod Ends For A Gtr - Where To Buy Cheapest?

[Booki]

Hey everyone,

I am after some Tie Rod Ends for my R33 GTR.

The genuine nissan ones are around $100 each, are there cheaper after market alternative's available?

Also is it best practice to just replace the worn out one, or replace both left and right?

bursons sell oem replacements for 35$ retail.

change both.

Thanks! Will call then up tomorrow!

Called them up, said they are marked for the R33 GTs-T, and in the comments says "Will not fit R33 GTR"...dammit lol.

I might go and grab them anyway as i am in the area. If they fit, they fit. Otherwise can return.

$35 like you said.

Have you used those ones on a R33 GTR before xalmon?

I got mine from Pedders. Not sure if they sell GTR ones but worth a shot if the ones from Bursons dont fit

How much where they from pedders? I just picked up the ones from bursons. They are road safe brand and say they suit R32,300zx. Hopefully they fit! $70 for two

Checked out the ones i got from Bursons.

No go, they are heaps smaller then the ones i have on there.

Didn't even bother to fully open them up as they won't fit.

Ill try pedders, otherwise I think i will just go genuine from Nissan for $100 each

neg, i got them for my GTT, but was asked if my car was 2wd or 4wd, so i assumed they had them for the 4wd skylines.

sorry i led you on a wild goose chase mate.

took 30 seconds on ebay to find a shop full

They weren't much from pedders and they have a few different sizes. Had to measure my tie rods and matched them up

Definatley looked on eBay, I do need the outer tie rod ends.

the ones being sold for the R33 GTR, are not compatible. More so of a scam/false advertising. Check out the pics in both the R33 "4WD" and RWD ones, pics are of the same item. They are the exact same ones i got from Bursons. Probably sweet for a R33 GTS-T, but the R33 GTR part is different. Its quite bigger physically. Its a bit fatter and the thread at the top is longer.

I have done a search on a forums for the ones sold on eBay, found a user stating they don't fit. He could have gotten his money back, but as usual you have to pay return shipping. Probably voiding any effort of a refund.

Ended up just ordered some in over the phone from my local nissan dealership.

$111 for one

Not sure if ill do the other one at the moment, as it has no play....
