boots from repco which cost $13.50 each. The part number is RRB033.

Depending on brand; My Castor rod bushes (superpro) cost $100~

$27 + $100~ = $140~ for parts

$360 for labour? im guessing wheel alignment done; $60~

So about $300 for labour?

I got camber, castor, steering rack bushes, subframe bushes & steering rack replaced for $300 labour..

hope that helps :D

Thanks Rekin

with the steering rack boots part number, are they for R32? or universal? how they fit to the car? cause one of the member on that thread said it not a very good fit???

also, where can i get that Castor rod bushes (superpro)?

cheers

Edited by subie

Im pretty sure the DIY is for a R32, they are the boots i bought for my R32, so there will be no problem for you.

Im not aware of how well they fit, got my suspension place to fit both steering rack boots for $30 labour. He didnt seem to mention any problems..

SuperPro is an australian bush company (http://superpro.com.au)

I got my Suspension workshop to supply and fit, but im pretty sure Supercheap Auto sell them.

I paid $50 each for genuine Nissan boots as I cbf screwing around with non-genuine generic items that need trimming etc.

Fitment was easy but took a while and setting the toe back by eye (counting threads).. was pretty close.. only 0.1mm out :D

I got my castor bushes through Brad at WA Suspensions and IIRC they were only ~$80, fitment and an alignment was nowhere near $500 either.

ok guys.. with the caster rod bushes .. should i get the after market (adjustable) caster rod and change the whole thing? or just changing the bushes? it an everyday car (never see track or drift)

also, I've got few quotes:

Pedders (local area): $450.00

- rubber boots $40 pair

- caster rod bushes $100 pair

- labour $220

- 4 wheels alignment $90

Luis drift Garage: total $340.00

- rubber boots $60 supplied and fitted

- KKR caster rod (adjsutable) $280 supplied and fitted

- then I have to do the wheels alignment else where

- gonna take me like 1.5 hours drive from my place to his

what u guys reckon?

cheers

hey ive got a cracked castor rod bush on my 32 and i just bought some adjustable castor rods from ISC Performance..there a trader on here..got em for like $180...im Getting new tyres soon so when they fit the tyres i'll get em to put the castor rods on too and get a wheel alignment

bugger if you were in vic i could help you out maybe someone from NSW can point you in the right direction.

its a pretty easy job if you wanna do it your self, theres plenty of "how to's" on these forums.

the difficult part would be getting the old bushes pushed out as u need a 10 ton press most suspension shops can do it though.

Luis drift Garage price is okay but 1.5h is a fair trek and you will still need an alignment, i dont see how they can work with suspension and not be able to do alignment.....

and pedders just suck.

ive got a r33 gts-t series 2 and am changing over the steering boots. My original boots had 48059 marked on them. Not sure if this is correct as they were quite difficult to get off (i had to cut them off in the end) After reading on here i decided to get the universal boot, rrb 000

i have put the 2 boots together. as you can see the end diameter will not fit over the steering rack. i could cut the last few rings off which could work or is there a better option ??

You're supposed to cut them.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
