My rack is leaking on the my 12 6mt sedan. I know these have some steering differences which I believe is only in the tie rods for quicker steering. I cant figure out what rack I need to get to replace it with. Is the base rack the same? Meaning if I get any 49001 rack it will be correct as long as I use my tie rods? Can anyone confirm this or if you happen to know the correct rack with correct tie rods I should get please let me know.

 

If it is as you said, that the only difference is in the tie rods, then just get your normal steering rack for a G37 sedan and reuse your old tie rods if they are in good shape

 

Update. So there were some threads and posts saying that all base racks are the same and the difference is the tie rods. I went down this road getting a new rack with the base part number. Seems to be incorrect as my inner rods didn't not fit, different threads. I was however able to thread my outer rods on the inners that came on the new rack. The new inners were an inch longer so I threaded my outers on an inch further to achieve the same total length

 

Did you manage to snap some pictures of the differences?
Were the inner tie rods thicker or rack?
Were you using any aftermarket parts?

 

No pics, no AM parts. Inners on new rack had thicker threads.

 

Which car do you own and what brand tie rods did you try and end up using?

 

13 6mt sedan. Used the new inners that came on the rack and my old outers

 

Care to share the part number of the inners you've tried? Sport model should be Jk02a

 

Didnt notice the part numbers on the inners. I bought the cheapest reman base rack I could:

Advertised without sensor, but came with it. Also appeared to be OEM nissan. I called prior and they assured me it was OEM nissan, not AM
