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.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
