You would have to make a high steer arm.

I've seen where they pick up on the standard point and the king pin like to toyota arms.

Jake heres some pics from the Thread that Wendle posted in the Nissan Bible may help with seeing where the New posi of the tie rod will be ..........But from memory without reading back through that thread Carlton had the tapers for the TRE's cut back through from the other side to raise it even further .....so you will have to take into account that the tierod will be lower than pictured



Cheers Dan

Here is a close up of the J Mac Histeer arm, give John a ring 9671 5800 he might do one for you but I don't think so, your best bet would be to go and have a talk to him.
