On myR33 GTR I could buy three of the front boots from my local Auto 1 store as generic boots and had to get the last one from Nissan.

= 3 reasonably priced boots and 1 expensive one.

You should be able to at least get 3 generic boots to fit your R32 - good luck

I've had no luck with Autobarn/Supercheap - even though the R32 GT-R was sold here, there's not even a listing for them in their books. Both also called suppliers, but to no avail. Might see if I can get some measurements, and see if I can get another model to fit like you have done.

What sort of $$$ do Nissan charge? I need 1 on my 32 GTR too :down:

I haven't called them up to find out to be honest, but you can bet it would be a rude amount. I just thought I would find generic boots somewhere, but maybe not? Looks like it's going to be a bitch to install them too. Has anyone done this before - inner/outer front CV boots?

I have the same issue. Need some boots for the front drive shafts. I went down to Nissan Dandenong and I was met with a worker that had a prophetic hatred towards imports. When he asked me what car the boots were for he replied to my answer saying "imports don't belong here"

So I am faced with a dilemma here, still looking for some front drive shaft boots. Does anyone know the part numbers? Or alternative place to purchase these boots?

I just go down to my nearest driveshaft specialist, nissans seem to be generic. Haven't paid more than 20 bucks for a boot yet.

hossboss if you still need a place to get some from in Bris pm me, can also show you how to change them, the only real pain is taking the driveshafts out. Esp the driver's side front.............

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
