Guys,

I need to buy both front steering shaft rubber boots, after markets one, but no one seems to have them, checked with Repco, autobarn and supercheap.

where can I buy them from? any online shop?

im in NSW---near blacktown-castle hill, kellyville :thumbsup:

NOTE - NIssan doesn't have any stock currently in australia, its $49.95 + GST each..too expensive anyway...

Cheers

well when you consider the alternative to not getting those replaced and having dirt and grime get in there, $50 is not bad at all. Buy a barina/ excel if you want to be a stingy bastard :yes:.

From memory Repco/ supercheap have a universal fit steering boot.

Yep you can get universal boots

Ya got a universal one from Repco for $11....and comes with 2year 40,000Km warranty heheh :yes:, funny only one repco store told me that they have universal ones....

Cheers Guys...

if universal ones dnt suit you get some off another make of car that are similar. I used magna boots on my old silvia

This is the one I got from Repco Part number RRB000, I saw in another thread (CLICK HERE FOR OTHER LINK (DIY link whcih shows you how to change steering boot :cheers: )which used repco part number RRB003 not sure which one gona fit properly.

I had a closer look at both my one RRB000 and other RRB003 (pic below), when you count the round circles

RRB000 - 11 Turns

RRB003 - 14 Turns

which means my one is bit shorter..............oooh well will change it tomorrow :thumbsup:

Bit of a bump...

I've had a good search on here for info about steering rack boots- the trouble is I'm after REAR ones for my R33. All the threads I've come across are to do with the front ones.

Any hints? Its a fair bit smaller than the front boots are. Will try to post some photos if that helps.

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 ??

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
