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,

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.

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.

    • If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.
    • Semi-correction to my blanket statement that you can't bend rubber hoses. It seems that you can get most of a result, by doing as this guy does. I wouldn't promise that the bends will stay in the hose forever. I think if I found they wouldn't stay, I'd get a larger hose and cut some 90掳s out to go over the bends I wanted to be in the smaller hose, as a reinforcement.
    • Just a heads up. Mine has just failed. When i turn the car on it just reboots everytime then the word "Android" shows up then goes to a black screen. I've aksed the company i got it from for some help but it's passed their 90 day return so they wont help. I have to swap back to my old system this weekend 馃槶
    • Does the car have to stay auto? If so, you might be looking at a ZF swap in future. 
    • Yeah its tuned relatively conservatively being dynoed at 525hp with every bolt on and top end of the motor built wtih HKS vcam and springs etc.
