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

      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.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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!
