Gtr Prop Shaft Cv Boot Replacement

[chus13]

Hey guys.

I'm wondering whether anyone knows where to find a replacement prop shaft cv boot for my car. I can't find any information anywhere and I don't know whether there is a compatible part from another make/model that I can replace it with.

I'd like to avoid going to Nissan if it is possible because they want crack prices for any spare parts, and I'm broke because of this car.

Cheers.

I presume you're talking about the front shafts?

Sorry to say it mate but genuine only. There are some very ordinary alternatives but they're exactly that, very f**king ordinary.

There is a very good reason your car most likely has the very first boot that was ever put on it from new, the genuine boots are brilliant quality. The rubber is really high quality and twice as thick as the aftermarket replacements. The genuine boots nearly stay there without clamps, the aftermarket nearly don't stay there with clamps!

Same deal with engine coolant hoses, go genuine as they last 20 years!

What Paul linked, you can buy the boot replacement kits from Kudos at that price for your CV shafts. Best to do inner/outer if the other one looks suspect as well.

You could also try your local power steering and CV shaft shop. I source genuine through mine and it's much cheaper.

Alternative is to use Nissan Part Numbers and get the items from Japan at a cheap price but wait like 3 weeks.

in regards to the coolant hoses why do people use silicone all the time is it just because it's cheaper everyone who has spoke to me has sworn by silicon and says it's better but I'm not sold on the idea.

I actually want original rubber looking items

I must admit I bought a full silicone kit but then thought stuff that, I can't see the silicone lasting 20 odd years so I'll stick with genuine. Cost a f'ing bomb for a whole set of genuine hoses but hopefully it was worth it.

You cant beat oem.

That link is expensive because it includes the grease aswell.
