Anyone know where to get Z32 Tie Rod arms locally? ... did a Steering rack mod and now my Tien arms are too long - way to long. Apparently the Z32's are shorter and the right thread.

i had a simular issue after fitting offset rack spacers for drifting application,
Remedy, cut out 30mm in the middle of the tie rod, machine out a 4mm thick tub with the same id as what your tie rod od is.
Slip the tie rod end into the new tub, Dtermine your desired length. And weld.

Done

Shot Barry.. Looks like i'll be driving this weekend thanks to you !! :) - recieved the rack today.. arms are useable but unfortunatly not the rack itself.. so if you want it back or if someone else is desperate for a Lefty rack.. let me know - i'll keep it in storage meanwhile.

Cheers guys
