As title says. Did some research and found out that there a 2 different screens. One Toshiba for the later models of June 2000. For the 99 model Gtr it was a sharp screen.

New or used

Must be in immaculate condition

Was about to link you the JDMautolink thread on SAU but looks like you've found it :) i believe people have purchased from ebay once they have serial number for the screens

Is it a case of the polarized film on the screen that has cracked, etc? If so, it's a relatively easy fix to replace the film which makes a hugeeeee difference. I did mine several months ago soon after I bought the car as the film was severely cracked. Took around 2 hours in total to do but most of the time was spent on just removing and cleaning off the old film. I have a fair bit of the film left over from when I did it so would be happy to assist if needed.

Yeh its the polarized film the screen itself is in good condition. I seen the DIY to change it but I'm not too confident with such fine work. Plus I didn't want to crack the screen.

I'd really appreciate your help man that would be awesome :)

Yep thought it might have been as it's the main reason why people end up replacing the screens. IMO best to replace the film first and see from there if you still want to replace the screen because the cost difference is huge. I went through the DIY steps and it was pretty straight forward but i know what you mean that it seems a bit daunting. If you wanted, you could post me your screen and I can replace the film, test it on mine to make sure it works properly and that I've got the film on the right way and send it back to you. Then all you would need to do is to plug the screen back in and off you go. Otherwise I could send you some of the film and talk you through it over the phone whilst you're doing it so. Pm if you're interested. Cheers Chris

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.

      This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.

      Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
