If you know the thread pitch of you tie rod ends then this is quite easy. For example if the tie rod ends have a 1mm pitch then 1/2 a turn would equal approximately 1mm off your measurement. Remembering you have 2 tie rod ends so the 1/2 turn is 0.5mm for each end or 1mm in total.

Do you have a laser distance finder/measuring device? Possibly at work.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Having a little trouble with some of the figures mentioned in this thread.
If the tyre diameter is 818mm and the width is at the front of the tyre is 1406mm and at the rear is 1409mm (that's how I interpret the OP's figures):
The 'toe-in' on each tyre (assuming equal on each) will be (1409-1406)/2 or 1.5mm.
Using basic trigonometry, the sine of the angle of the 'toe-in' is 1.5/818 (opposite over hypotenuse) = 0.0018337408312958.
Using inverse sine this equates to an angle of about 0.105degrees.
Does that make sense or have I got it all wrong?

Thank you. Trig was not my thing 35 years ago and still isn't. Lol. You are probably very right, Plasma and Peebee are also bang on.
My memory was 2 degrees but it seems outrageous. Maybe I remember 0.2 degrees whoch makes way more sense.
Thanks everyone.
