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.

  • 3 weeks later...

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.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
