Sorry guys, SAU stuffed up last night and didnt put my post up lol

First up, Car is:

R33 GTSt (1994)

Anyways, basically My Rear CV's are starting to click and im trying to find some replacements. Ive been asking around and cant seem to find anyone that can get me a new CV shaft or anything for. Has anyone found somewhere to get replacement CV joints or shafts, either new or recon.

At the moment im thinking im going to have to get mine reconditioned or buy second hand ones and either use them or get them reconditioned and swap them out

anyone else got any other ideas where i could find some?

Thanks mate

I'm not sure if it makes a different but someone has told me they think the balls have worn. That idea isnt one I'd thought of lol but I'm gonna see how much it is for a recon of the CV's, hopefully shouldnt be more then around $200 or so, I'm going to pull them out myself.

Ill post up all the info I can when I get prices on mine or get them done but so far:

- No CV/Driveshaft places seem to be able to get an R33 rear CV Joint or CV Shaft, have found where they will do R32 ones.

- Nissan may be able to help, I havent bothered to ring them yet. Think the price there will be a bit steep

- 2nd hand from a wreckers is an option, I got quoted $125 for mine (5 bolt pattern to the diff) or i think it was $85 for the 3 bolt pattern ones

- Recon... Well I'll let you know when I find out prices

I did see some CV shafts on Ebay but they didnt look right, im not sure if they had more stock and just werent showing it all or what was going on.

I also havent rung around places in Bigger cities, maybe in Sydney where a driveshaft place has more to do with skylines they might be able to help

Ill let you know what else i find out

Hi.

Hope you have success resolving your problem. Just one point- the only thing that causes clicking is wear in the cage- balls bearings are much harder than the cage material and are immersed in grease so wear in these is miniscule.I have seen oversize ballbearings used to take up cage wear. Not a very satisfactory solution as the larger ball has to fit into the machining in the joint which also sees hardly any wear. Many years ago when we used to be involved with racing minis cvs were swapped annually side to side to get 2 years use instead of 1 year then usually went into one of our road cars if needed. If you get stuck reverse them.

Thanks mate. Im hoping that they will have CV's that will fit, might not be specifically be for an R33 but are the same design. Ill just have to make sure that they will handle the power of a Skyline, not a Charade lol

Have had it over the pit today, and had someone else look and theyve confirmed its outer CV joints.

What I'll do is when I get them Recon'ed ill let everyone know how much it cost and post up some details. Maybe I'll even do a DIY or something with photos

They will probably come out of the car at the end of the month as I'm quite busy in the mean time and need a car. But I will post up my results and as much information as I can so hopefully I can help someone else out

Ok so I pulled my CV shafts out today, Its a bit of a pain but not to bad overall.

I will hopefully hear back on repairs etc by the end of the week, if anyone is interested I can ask what parts match up to the R33 parts?

Alright so Car is all back together and no more clicking so must have been the CV's. The outer CV's were replaced with new units, I'm unsure on what they came from as I was away on holidays and had someone else pick them up but they seem to have an ABS ring around the outside of them and look quite chunky and tough.

If anyone is interested I might be able to do a DIY to help out but will be purely up to interest.

I will try and find out what the CV's I got come from and give a price on the rebuild when I get the invoice for it.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
