I don't have a circlip in mine (race car) haven't for years. it can't fall out unless something else is wrong because it is held in at the hub end, and the hub is held to the subframe by the control arms

thanks for the quick reply

i thought the circlip was there to keep the diffs seal against the shaft. if there is any movement at all wont oil leak out?

drag-on-silvia, I hope you don't mind me hijacking the thread for a minute. While we are on the topic of front shaft does anyone know how to remove this boot (pictures below) from the front shaft? I am trying to remove that metal segment of the shaft that houses the bearings.

Cheers!

HI manage13 the metal disk in the end of the shaft will pop out quite easily the best way is to remove the shaft from the car and just give it a light tap from the hub end with a soft hammer and the disk will pop straight out then you will find there is a circlip that holds the bearings on the shaft so is a fairly staight forward proccess of removing the circlip the bearings will then slide straight off the splined shaft. Assembly is just as simple slide the new bearings on install the new circlip and boot repac with new grease (supplied with the new boot) replace the disk that seals the shaft and reinstall. Might be a good idea to have the shaft checked though as if the cup itself has excessive wear new bearings alone will make no differance if the shaft is clicking while on lock. and you may need to soarce some good condition secon hand shafts.

Just a quick business plug here just for the benefit of forum members that may not know.

If people are looking to replace CV boots look no further than Pedders. An original cv boot from Nissan is about $90 each however I dropped of my old boot to Pedders Dandenong and they matched it for $35. The kit contained boot, two metal clamps and greece.

Big thumbs up to Pedders Dandenong for great customer service too! Dropped my old boot off at 4pm and was called 11am the next day informing me the boot was ready for pick up.

Hi manage13 you don't know that Pedders part number you were supplied do you? I'd like to buy the boots you are talking about.

All, I have attached the front drive shaft section from the manual for reference; though I am sure that this is no match for personal experience.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
