Hey boys, as in topic title my drivers side drive shaft boot is wide open and I suspect it's been like that for a while as grease is all over suspension arms.

The question is what is the most cost effective way to repair the boot and where or to order whole new drive shaft from Nissan?

Anyone had this problem?

I have inquired at local drive shaft repair joint where for more common cars you can simply get a swap for a repaired DS, not for Stagea and he has never seen one repaired?

Thanks

David

The boot isn't that hard to change man I had never done one before and it only took me like an hour to do. So was not to bad, but if you find the part number let me know :-)

Are you talking about the inner boot or outer boot? The guy at the repair shop said that he could maybe find the match but inner is the problem???

just go to your nissan dealership and order some dont use universal ones as they aren't as good.......... ill look part numbers up or Daleo should know LOL

found this too.......... (note drivers side inner and passengers side inner are a different part number, but outsides are the same)

also try the search function next time as this has been covered a few times :)

Sorry man didn't mean to bring up stuff being covered, Thanks for the info and I'll try nissan first but part numbers will make it easy.

Cheers

Notice the part for the boot has a star, not a part number. Nissan ordered some of the other part numbers in for us but none were the inner boot. A driveshaft shop would be your best bet. Or there are also Various Nissan boots on ebay that look similar, could be cheap to try and order one off measurements...

Just a quick update on this issue,

After all the searching and calls to nissan I've decided to do it the easy way which is called Greg from Autosport Kirawee (02 9521 1388) who said yep we have them in stock and all done cleaned regreased and fitted within two hours for a resonable price what a service.

I have used them before for gtr work (4wd didn't work) very familiar with imported cars and performance kind of work.

Would highly recomend them especially if you not DIY kind of guy or just busy.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
