I did a search around and couldnt really match up any info on CV joint maitenance for r32 GTR's.

I have the slightest Clunk developing in one my front right CV joints decelerating , turning and really wanting to fix the problem. (sounds like a Camira)

Whats involved with this maintenance ?

Some other threads in other forums on different cars recommend doing the whole assembley where others just change the faulty joints etc.

Should i do both sides?

Do i have to Chase up Nissan Genuine bits or is there a stronger upgrade Available?

I thought i would ask here as i have been caught out by bad advice from mechanics that didnt know or guessing with this import in my area.

Thanks again

Ive had a few of these things fail and take the driveshafts with them.

Get your wallet ready.

Best thing to do, is order a new CV joint (Inner is around $230 or so delivered depending on the discount you get from club affiliation etc) and the boot kit for $58 and get it installed, then throw the old one out. Driveshafts, new, are in the $900 mark also depending on discount etc

As for maitenance, just have a look once or twice a month to see if the boot is cracked or split, if it is, get it replaced - easy

Ok, what you need to do is get the rubber boots, and the actual cv joint :O

PM "Slide" he can get that stuff for good prices, and it will be delivered to you, so then its a simple swap - toss the old one and in with the new one

Or, if he cant help, ring PowerPlay Imports in Drummoyne and ask them to order the bits for you, they've ordered those bits before for my car - if you have to remind them just say its the same as Steve's white GTR

If you have any trouble, PM me and ill see what else i can do

This is a bit Scary!!! Have the R32's GTR spares ceased Altogether?... I have spent 2 days chasing part's for this maintenace and every nissan dealer i have spoken 2 has told me that they cant be boughtand none are in there system. Not even the whole assembly..

The CVjoint man's supplier dosent have them either

I managed to get the tech drawing from nissan.

which shows the whole shaft and the repair kit with part numbers .

Stessing!!!

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
