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.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
