In the past week or so the front right cv boot on the stag has split. As its only just recently happened its making a hell of a mess on the backside of the weel and under and around it all.

How hard are they to change? Ive been told buy Xmetal N15 pulsar boots fit, can anyone confirm this? Can some one give me a how to change it? Its on the RSfour stagea.

Also some tips on doing cheffs 260 stag would be helpfull cos both of his have been gone for a while now and if its a diy well do his soon too ;)

Ive changed all mine but then realised i didnt to the ties up tight enough and now i have grease all under my car.

Its pretty easy to do, Wheel off, Middle nut out, losen end of drive shaft and take it out. A rattle gun is very handy to use also.

Also once u got it off take it to the C.V joint and drive shaft place in edwardstown, same rd as doyle crash but closer to south rd. They are roughly $15bucks each with grease.

Could work. Might be able to leave the rotor on and handbrake and undo it that way. Only one way to find out i guess.

Mines 4wd to, shouldnt make any difference. Just do the end ties on the boots up tight.

if the boot has split and most of the grease is out DONT just put another boot on it chances are water/grime has already got into the joint and will still stuff up, better of hitting up S.A suspension in pooraka and getting a bearing kit done with new boot! just not worth all the effort for it to stuff up in a couple months!

Digging up an old thread here. I've done the rightfront drive shaft inner boot on my R33 GTR. I rang SA suspension and they only had a part number for an R32. My question...... Do the R32 and R33 GTR's use the same boot. If anyone knows for sure and it is the same, I can buy the boot and do the job over Easter, otherwise I have to take the shaft out to try and find a match.

Thanks.

      Rust repairs completed, doors back on! pretty much totally back together running now. All future repairs will be fiddly wiring getting everything back up to road condition.  hasn’t  taken that long considering the condition I got the sub. note my helpers keeping the back seat warm 😂

      Thanks heaps Duncan and GTSBoy. I'll get my old man to sit in the driver's seat and turn it on and off while I test with the meter. Or maybe other way round, depending on whether he remembers where his glasses got to

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.
