well then i dont know how they fucked up mine. some parts interpreters are retards. unless you can give them full details is just blows their mind. half of them have no idea about cars or parts, only know how to look up numbers in books.
Mr Repco told me that series 1, 2 and 3 bluebirds shared a part no. The only difference was import vs local models.
I took local, but haven't checked if they fit yet.

i rang around today. asked repco, i asked for bluebird tie rod ends and as soon as i said celica rack ends the person on the phone started abusing me saying that they wont work together!
they do.
i just tell them that thats what i have already so i know it works, followed by a "what do you care just sell me the parts cockfag"
may or may not say the last part......
well after they sell them to u....open both boxes and screw them together.... and add some smartarsed commentpeople in those stores dont know sweet bugger all...all they have is their parts manual.. and they have enough trouble dealin with that
baught them today. place called bersons. he was a legend. had them in stock too diddnt ask any questions, they are bluebirds 910 series 1,2 or 3. he was very interested in what i was putting them in too!
Thanks Brad!!
first post updated and correct i feel, anyone who has done the conversion have a read and let me know if i've missed anything. i think the tierod ends were the only detail that neede to be confirmed.
u can use ke70 rack end wif RA40 tie rod ends, this work !
are you sure?
you would have to get nissan balljoints pressed into the ra40 tierod ends wouldnt you?
and arnt ke70 rack ends the same as ae86, so they would not be any longer?
they physically fit but the taper is not the same so the fit is poor.
anyway so onto my story, i brought my s13 spindle day down to the parts supplier and go him to grab me an early bluebird tie rod. this tie rod is a poor fit. only half the taper is inside the spindle, and only half the thread sticks out the top.
this bluebird tie rod is listed as to be used with almost all bluebirds.
we even tried one from an OLD bluebird, but this was WAY too small.
the only bluebird tie rod we didnt try was from an early 90's one, u13 i think cause they didnt have it in stock.
WTF is the go? are my spindles not correct?! or are people getting different tie rod ends?!
