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.

    • 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
