For the price (around $120-140 per side) not something i would waste a day or 2 on, even the CV specialist said he had some trouble with it...By the time you buy the boots and the packing grease its just not worth it.

If you are keen to do the job click on the link below and ask for a price for the boot kits only. You don't have to bid or buy at this point but be sure to specify inner or outer and give the details asked (such as model, year, 2 or 4wd auto or man etc). His prices for the complete cvs are good and he has a range of boot kits (ask for the cost of posting to Aus): http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-220086277.htm

was under mine today on the hoist having a look for ya and wouldnt be too hard to pull em, when you get it off, keep the boot in one peice if possible and take it to an repco or autopro and get em to match up an aftermarket boot off something else, aslong as its close you will be alrite, and will only cost you about $25 -$35 for a boot kit man,

any problems man i can get mine on the hoist and take some pics for ya. let me know

Was talking to a mate bout this the other day. My left front boot is split. He fixes/mods cars on the side. He recomended that if I did the boot I may as well do the whole cv, as time n effort it takes, may as well change it all whilst your there. their not expensive so may as well so you don't have to do it all again.

Well i took the wheel and caliper off thismorning.

Looked at the grease and shit mess it had made and thought ehhhh this has to be fixed today. Started getting over it quickly and called CV driveshafts and steerting here in south aus at lonsdale. Put it back together and drove their. I arrived had it on hoist in minutes and after a quick look said it should be pretty easy. 2 hours later and $176 and both the front outer boots were done as once it was on the hoist we could see the left side had started to weap aswell.

And confirming they were the same as N15 pulsar boots :(

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
