If its the same as anything (S1 I am assuming?) then it will be the same as R33 GTS-4. In my experience the GTR's have everything just a little chunkier. (front driveshafts for example)

Do us all a favour, and if you do get the Nissan one, can you ask the counter monkey to compare the part number to the GTR and GTS-4 and let us know the results?

Cheers

If the boot has split, and the grease is all over the inside of the wheel, what sort of life expectancy do you give the CV? I would replace it, myself, just to be on the safe side. Have you ever seen the damage a CV does when it lets go?

For your info, the stagea outer boot kit part number is 39241-50A92, and FAST shows it as being the same

for the 260RS, GTS4 and GTR.

You rock! :mrt:

I don't suppose you got the same info for the CV themselves?

Just take it to any reputable CV speciallist around you and get them to do it for you :P

nice and easy.. less down time than doing it yourself

and depending on what the condition of the CV joint is when you take it apart .. it may or may not need servicing. Dont stress its all too easy! just a few hours waiting around for them to do it

I second that. I had the same problem on mine - right cv boot. Took it to a CV joint specialist and had the boot replaced for $80. Apparently no problems with the cv joint itself. :dry: Hopefully yours is the same.

Has anyone actucally had their CV Joints replaced yet. (I'm particularly interested in hearing from Brisbane peoples). My boots are split and grease on the inside of the wheel. Now not ever having anything to do with CV's before (damn AWD FWD cars :) ) what are the costs like. And is it a job for any normal mechanic or is it better to see a CV workshop (see plenty of them in the yellow pages). My girlfriends pulsar is also in dire need of CV's too (because I just got the boots replaced on hers and the joints didn't last too much longer before the knocking started) so I just might as well kill all the birds with one stone.

if you can find a good ( reputable ) place then your FAR FAR better off just taking the cars to them and letting them do it. I have attempted to do the outer boot on a pulsar CV joint and it was a royal ass pain . these guys at the CV shops have

A) all the tools etc needed to do the job correctly

b) spare parts etc

c) the know how of what to do etc.

I know Dale ( stinky rooster ) has an abject fear of letting others do his mechanical work .. but I would dare say even he might agree with me on this matter.

CV joint place all the way

I don't think you guys read the post properly. I wasn't asking if it was an easy job for me to do but wether it would be better to take it to any normal mechanic or to take it to a specialised CV / Driveline workshop. Be fu**ed if I'm going to do something like this myself. And my cars rearley see a workshop either unless its something I really don't want to do.....this is one of those things. I really just wanted to know what costs are like.

Sorry for getting Off topic

Yeah I would take it to a C.V place. Because if you took it to your local mechanic he would probably just order in the parts from a CV place. My logic is that fixing CV joints is their ( the CV people ) bread and butter , so you would guess they would know them better than a standard mechanic.

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
