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 :(

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
