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.............

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
