Just a little off topic but can anyone tell me if the actual front drive shafts are the same as the GTR. Because I am wanting to replace all my inner and outer cv joints (starting to get noisey so figure I'll do all of them) and I can get new GTR shafts online for a pretty good price. This way I can just rip out my shafts and put the new ones in.

Hi all,

changed all CV boots on my S2 Stag this weekend & have some info re: the inner boot on the passenger side.

I dont have a part number but do have a photo of which I will attempt to upload below. The 1st one is the old boot, 2nd is the new one.

Is that a Nissan part or generic?

Generic, I think. I cut the boot off the passenger side thinkin it would be the same as the driver side........NOPE.

I then had to do a frantic ring around to find a steering place near me that was open on a saturday arvo, lucky for me I found one.

They charged me $40 for the privilege. Still I'm not gonna need to change them for ages now.

Repco part for LHS inner is 100-013. Just did the Left on mine yesterday. Was nearly up the creek as I got it all apart and Repco was closed. Luckily I know the right people and was able to get one and get the car back together on a Sunday afternoon.

I have a S2 Stagea, i'm planning on changing the front CV boots over the weekend.

I have read all of this thread.

Changing the left side seems easy enough, i'll attempt that first.

With the right side I need to undo some suspension. Plus I was wondering how the inner part is attached? Eg how does this come out. Or is it just sitting in there?

I bought some boots on Ebay, total cost around $80 delivered, Might of been cheaper at Repco but I don't have a trade card.

Thanks in advance,

Brendan

By tierod, I ment castor rod. The castor rods have aftermarket bushes, I think these made things hard to get back together. I was considering getting adjustable castor rods just to get it back together. But undoing the lower arm, made it possible for me to get it back together.

Hopefully I did it right. I marked the inner bearing housing placement. But after putting it back together I think I should of also marked the bearing and shaft placement as well.

Now I got to do the driver side. Still not 100% about getting the inner out of the driver side. Sounds like a couple of screwdrivers can do the job.

Ditto on going to CV CENTER in Dandenong, went there today, friendly and excellent service.

Had the outer cv's + all boots replaced on driver and passenger side, completely shagged.

Car is sooo nice to drive now.

unless you have the proper tools to get the strap tight enough on the boot I wouldn't bother, just pull the CV's out and drop them off to get done cost ya like $100 labour for all 4 and you wont have any nasty leaks and have to do it again.

    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
    • Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.
