This guy sells the complete cv joint for less than Nissan charges for the boot. He may also be able to supply the boot only. Send him a question quoting your engine no and other details he asks for and ask if he will post to AU. (if he doessn't but he has the item I could get it for you and post it but i am hoping he does because a number of other members have indicated interest). http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-201624551.htm

Hey Guys I have just replaced my front boots with local Kelpro units at $15ea.

Part no':

Inner: CIB-228

Outer: COB-057

Only point I would make is that there is not enough grease supplied for the inner if you ask me, so grab some extra.

how would you rate the difficulty of the job mate? i've never done cv's before, but will probably be looking at it in the not too distant future ;)

Ok Guys its all pretty straightforward to do, probably the only special tools you need are circlip pliers and a vice is handy.

Firstly remove the shafts, there is a good description here on pages 10 & 11

http://www.scribd.com/doc/4964854/GTR-Engine-Removal

You will also need to pop out the cup that is in the diff housing, a couple of large screrwdrivers should do the trick (carefully)

Next I usually cut off the old boots and give the shafts a good clean ready for new grease & boots.

Below shows the drivers side, the passenger side should be similar (I only needed to do my drivers side, but the passenger side looks to be exactly the same procedure). :whistling:

You need to remove the circlip that holds the bearing assy (part A) to the shaft (part B) in the pic below.

Remove part A from the shaft and you can now slip on your new boots.

Replace part A and circlip (grease the splines) and complete assembly as below.

This is just a matter of packing the bearings and cup with grease and fitting the new boots. Make sure there is no grease on the part of the boot that will be clamped to the shaft & cup (under where you tighten the stainless ties).

Tighten the stainless straps by stopping them rotating with a flat blade screwdriver whilst gripping the strap with locking pliers. Bend the strap over once, bend down the tabs to keep in place, and bend once again over the tabs and cut off the excess.

Reinstall the shaft in reverse order of taking it out.

I think this covers it if you get stuck on anything let me know.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck,

Jon.

In theory it shouldn't need an alignment as you're not actually adjusting your tie rods, just disconnecting them to remove the shafts and putting them back. Unless you have some really worn components, they should bolt back up in the same position they were in.

However I reckon it's always a good idea to have things re-aligned when you've done any suspension or steering work.

Well im preping to do this in the next week or so. Wouldn't mind doing it tonight but I need to use the stag to go jetskiing tomorrow so might noit be a really good idea incase i dont get it back together... dont see why i wouldn't though..

Went to see my local repco for the boot. Qoted the Kelpro CIB 228. He matched it to a Repco unit they had in stock part number 100-039. Comes with straps and grease. Cost me $13.60 with my trade card.

Will post up how I go and might ask the woman to take photos while i do it so i can make a how to however i dont think shell like the idea of it.

Good luck with the boot install. Let us know how the Repco unit fits, it's good to have alternative boot options that don't cost $100 or so each from Nissan!

      Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.

      https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.

      PAR specifically offers stock ratios in their gearset and you could do whatever ratios are physically possible supposedly for no extra cost. I agree 6 ratios is better than 5, the factory 2nd gear is equivalent to the Getrag 2nd gear if you account for the differing final drive ratio though. The Getrag 3rd gear with a 3.916 final drive is equivalent to a 1.6 2nd gear in the FS5R30A. I'm about to swap the transmission out on my car, I'm tempted to send the one I have now out for rebuild with the standard "cross ratio" gearsets out there to see if it really makes such a big difference the next time I pull the transmission.

      This is what I was looking at next:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/engines/tomei/tomei-rb26-28l-short-block-assemblies-p-45479.html as we can’t bore the cylinders out in hk so better just buy the whole lot in one and install then retune. Everyone saying the weak link are the bolts holding the rods together. I already did valve springs, arp head bolts, hks racing coils, nismo fuel pumps and pressure regulators, injectors etc for the top of the engine.
