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.

shit never really looked at that its a gt -4 ! lol sorry mate!

Hand break wont d oa thing cos its the fronts :P ... just get someone to stamp on the pedal :cheers:

havnt seen you out it a while how ya been anyway?

mayeb i will have a go myself... thought it could be tricky... gues I shouild be able to tackle most things after taking both turbos of adams 26! f**k doing that ever again.

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!

yeah ive got some prices and cheapest by far is 85 at some place down in Lonsdale. Not close but its a fair bit cheaper.

If lukes done all his 4 ill have a look at it tomorrow morning and see what i think.

my front left is going.

boostworx will do it for $120

actually booking in now

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.

Hi, i know this is an old thread, but i thought id try m luck.

I have recently had a split boot on my rear cv outer joint.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
