Hi all,

I'm after advice from perth stagea or skyline owners who have had their cv boots replaced/joints overhauled, specifically recommendations on where to get it done. I need to get a front outer CV boot replaced on my stagea, and my mechanics can do it but I'm being charged about 3 1/2 hours of labour + parts for it. I searched the forums and found most people (stagea owners included) mentioning its about 88 - 120 dollars (supplied + fitted) for a boot replacement through a CV joint specialist.

I have taken it to 2 CV joint specialists in perth so far but with zero luck. One mob said they have to cut the cv joint just to replace the outer boot along with a new CV joint (!). Another place looks at it says no worries, books it in and then goes sorry we dont know what to do with this one. Called a few other places (so I dont waste my time) and they have no idea what a stagea or skyline is.

Worst case scenario I suppose I can try DIY but the lack of knowledge, tools and a copy of the FSM (in english) makes the mechanic option more cost effective. Just thought I'd check before I end up spending too much money.

Cheers! :(

If he questions what a Stagea is, tell him its basically a GTR. I currently have an R33 GTR in the workshop and he has the driveshafts to rebuild and new boots etc....so he should be able to do your Stagea.

Booked the car into Allan's yestarday, they were closed till the 14th of this month. I cant rave enough about how good these guys are, they took one look at the car on the hoist and went "this has the same running gear as the r33 GTR". The total cost of replacing both the inner and outer RHF boots was 160 supplied and fitted (a far cry less than the rest of the quotes), for once my wallet didnt get raped for owning an import. Wish there was more workshops like this in perth.

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
