Hey guys,

Was changing my oil this arvo and noticed that my front driverside front driveshaft boot is in a word GONE. What would i need to fix this issue. You'll understand better when you see the pics.

I'm in need of a passenger side inner boot if you find an aftermarket or oem part to fit. There are wraparound ones you can temporarily use if you get stuck.

That one is certainly the worst I have seen, did you find the boot?

Sorry to see that Josh,

I probably don't need to tell you, but get it seen to pronto. I was a tight ass and left the boots cracked and separated for a few thousand kms on a honda. Instead of costing me a few hundred, it cost me a lot more because the uni joints went. The click on turning/accelerating sound that you get from worn unis.

Yeah im not driving it till I get it fixed. Crap timing as I was bout to drive it to cairns on friday for a holiday now I have to take the missos corolla seca.

That's the same one as failed on mine. I used these aftermarket ones: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/220865687512?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

You just need to specify the size you need at each end (~75mm & 27mm) & they'll send it to you within 1 or 2 days, at least it arrived that quick for me.

The boot was a couple of mm bigger than it could have been but the stainless ties held it OK (so I was told by the mech who put it in for me).

Hard to fit leon? Thats great news thanks for the link. Do you know what your measurement was by any chance?

I decided the same thing. Only bought the CV boot so I could get it done in my timeframe rather than waiting for the mechanic to order it in. The good thing about you being in Brisvegas is your specialist with most likely have one on the shelf

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
