Hey y'all,

So i went to replace my outer tie rod end and it looks like my inner is cooked as well. Problem is, the inner tie rod's part no seems to be completely unique, it's not the same as in the other Skylines. 

It's 48521-23U25. This is NOT the same as the GTTs or GTRs. If you look online, only place I can get them is Amayama (https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/48521aa325), but given that the "quantity available" is listed as ">1," it worries me that lead time on this will be infinite.

Wondering if any other ENR34 owners have found replacement inner tie rods that work and are readily available? Are tie rods not that deep and easy to interchange? I'm in the USA, so if anyone else has found em, LMK!

Also - it looks like this part for the Leaf is the same number, except there's a 0 added right after the U. Does this mean anything of value or are they completely different parts? 48521-3U025 - Inner Tie Rod 2007-2014 Nissan | Nissan Parts & Accessories Online

48521-23U25 doesn't seem impossible to find outside of amayama: https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-front-steering-rack-tie-rod-fits-nissan-r33-gts-4-r34-gt-4-c34-stagea-25tx-four-rs-four-rs-four-v?currency=USD

I would order it from Amayama and see what happens.

Appreciate the insight!

Talked to some local folks and they basically told me "it's not that deep." As long as the threading on the inside matches what's at the steering rack, everything else can be constructed-to-fit. There are full aftermarket kits I can use - probably better for my car overall since it's lowered. 

Example: GKTech M14 Super Adjustable Inner Tie Rod Set - Nissan Skyline R32 R33 R33, 240SX, 300ZX, 350Z / Infiniti G35 M14I-TROD-2 gktM145-TROD gktM14I-TROD - Concept Z Performance (These can be packaged with their "high misalignment" tie rod ends).

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
