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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
