So I replaced my power steering rack and front tie rod ends (and rubber mounts) - All good accept I can visibly see that my wheels are not truly aligned - I did originally measure the distance between the centre tie rod to the edge of the boot (using a template but never recorded the measurement) and wound the tie rod to what I thought was the original position but its obviously not right.  So I then referred to the GTR manual and its telling me that L = 126.50 which is nothing like my measurement.  Is this L measurement standard with the GTR & the GTS-T?  

Can anyone provide me their measurements from the boot edge to the front of the lock nut for the tie rod.

Obviously the intention is to get a proper wheel alignment but being the cars currently unregistered I want get it in the best position with a fresh set of tyres before rego.

Thanks all

You don't need any measurements. Just set string lines up next to the car, parallel to the car and each other. Set the wheel straight ahead. Set the tie rod lengths so that the wheels are parallel to the string lines, then wind them out a little bit to get some toe-in.

There are tutorials all over the place on how to do this stuff.
