Does anyone know where you can buy a drivers side and passenger side boot kit?

My outer passenger and inner driver side have both started to crack damn it!

Any help appreciated.

thanks

any decent drive shaft place should have the boots, I got mine for my GTS4 in Brisbane from the Australian CV joint centre - about 2 years~ ago they supplied and fitted the boots(inner & outers) to the driveshafts - I took into them for about $70. The driveshaft nut that holds hub is VERY tight and I had to hire a huge socket set so I could get the bugger loose.

I dont know about any 'kits' - if you mean one where the driveshaft doesnt need to be removed, like the steering rack boot kits that you can get.

Check the specs of the grease they use against what nissan recommends in the workshop manual to make sure it is high grade enough, it will probably be better than what was available in 1990~s but check while you're at it. You will have to put grease in one side yourself and fit one boot to diff, the other side just bolts up.

You can get them from Nissan but they are about $70 each .

Go to any auto shop and get a universal boot kit , about $12 -15 each , they have the molly grease with the kit . You dont have to remove the driveshafts from the car to replace them .

Does anyone know where you can buy a drivers side and passenger side boot kit?

I have to replace the boots on mine as well as both sides have split and thrown grease all over the wheel :rofl:

I've pulled both drive shafts out .... can I take them to a CV-joint shop and get them to fix them up? ie. put new boots on, clean the original shafts and put grease in etc?

Thanks ! :(

G'day Jerry,

can you expand on your info for the CV joint boots?

Im going to be needing to do it at some stage soon...

also I need to do the steering rack ones! do you know or have you done it with the repco kit RRB033 I have heard conflicting reports about how good a fit they are with the GTR

would be great to find a way to do both sets of boots for less than a work shop!

thanks....

Ben ,

I dont know if you can match the steering rack boots with aftermarket ( i'm fairly sure you would be able to ) .

As for the cv boots , go to any auto shop with a sample boot and they will match it , failing that you can use the universal ones ( you cut to suit ) , there is 4, 2 on each driveshaft . You dont need to pull the shafts off the car to change but you have to release them so you can fit the new boots on . If you never done it before its best to leave it to a workshop as it is a bit of work on the gtr and i dont know your mechanical knowledge .

Why do you say you have to replace them ?Are they cracked ? Are they split ? If they are split you have to do them asap otherwise you get water in the cv's and then you have to replace them as well . The steering rack are not as critical but you should still replace them if they are split .

ahhh ok....

mech knowledge is ok, just a hoist would be nice, but I could do it all here as I have now got a nice workshop at home (in adelaide)

as for the boots....

steering is spilt for sure.....

and CVs some grease has come out of a hole somewhere!!!! no idea, cant see it...

but yes they are needing some work!

will look at getting a shop to see to them if they are that much of a bitch!

thanks

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
