Must have been overnight from Japan ;)

Straight from Nissan. They'll tell you it's overnight, but in reality it will take 4-5 weeks for your new boost to arrive. OEM boost though, it's worth the wait. Much higher quality than aftermarket boost.

careful with ebay, its probably made in china. not all boost is the same, chinese air is inferior to japanese air

This.

Personally I would never buy boost on ebay, chances are it's poor quality. Chinese boost is made in low-altitude factories, so it comes out much poorer than the stuff from the high-altitude factories in Japan. America has been releasing some good boost lately as well though, so could be a good time to upgrade your boost to some aftermarket American boost. Just be prepared to wait for it, America are slower than Japan when it comes to exporting boost.

And Australian Air is about to be the worlds most superior AIR with the Carbon Tax going through.......

Is this like where u pretend to ask a question for someone but that someone is really u? Nathanau is ur friend really you? Don't be shy now

hahahahaha usually people ask a question and pretend its for a "friend" because they are embarrassed to ask for them self. I see no reason to be embarrassed asking about boost? unless im missing sumfin, Mebbie i should given its an XR6 FORD hahahaah which i personally hate fords but as for cars there ok i guess, id just never own one.

I wont dirve anything but Skylines or some Italian cars :) , soon to be a GTR 34 or 35 with some clever financial accounting ( yay) and upward from there :)

Anyhows back to my mate who added Boost to his XR6 Ford...... After they installed it, apparently the car ran well on 10psi till it blew out one of the plastic pipes, so they turned off the boost. He has ordered metal pipes for the factory intercooler which get fitted today. He has also ordered an upgraded exhaust. AS for the ECU .... apparently the car runs well using the aftermarket boost so can only assume that whoever owned the car prior has had the ECU tuned ? or whatever was required to make it accept the aftermarket boost. Once he puts his new pipes in, he is going to run it on 10 PSI. I am still unsure how it will turn out after he uses the car over time. BUT in terms of technicalities so far " kinda all good" ....

Will it fit a Stagea? Can I buy some off you? If you're going to part out your car I call dibs on your boost.

You're mate still got aftermarket boost for his xr6. Shit son. Now they turned the boost off. I wonder if the aftermarket boost comes with a 12 month warranty? Do you know?

Im guessing his boost controller has a warranty but i doubt that would cover any damage the controller might cause with a backyard install job. If a mechanic did it, it would probably be covered in total.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
