I did a search around and couldnt really match up any info on CV joint maitenance for r32 GTR's.

I have the slightest Clunk developing in one my front right CV joints decelerating , turning and really wanting to fix the problem. (sounds like a Camira)

Whats involved with this maintenance ?

Some other threads in other forums on different cars recommend doing the whole assembley where others just change the faulty joints etc.

Should i do both sides?

Do i have to Chase up Nissan Genuine bits or is there a stronger upgrade Available?

I thought i would ask here as i have been caught out by bad advice from mechanics that didnt know or guessing with this import in my area.

Thanks again

Ive had a few of these things fail and take the driveshafts with them.

Get your wallet ready.

Best thing to do, is order a new CV joint (Inner is around $230 or so delivered depending on the discount you get from club affiliation etc) and the boot kit for $58 and get it installed, then throw the old one out. Driveshafts, new, are in the $900 mark also depending on discount etc

As for maitenance, just have a look once or twice a month to see if the boot is cracked or split, if it is, get it replaced - easy

Ok, what you need to do is get the rubber boots, and the actual cv joint :O

PM "Slide" he can get that stuff for good prices, and it will be delivered to you, so then its a simple swap - toss the old one and in with the new one

Or, if he cant help, ring PowerPlay Imports in Drummoyne and ask them to order the bits for you, they've ordered those bits before for my car - if you have to remind them just say its the same as Steve's white GTR

If you have any trouble, PM me and ill see what else i can do

This is a bit Scary!!! Have the R32's GTR spares ceased Altogether?... I have spent 2 days chasing part's for this maintenace and every nissan dealer i have spoken 2 has told me that they cant be boughtand none are in there system. Not even the whole assembly..

The CVjoint man's supplier dosent have them either

I managed to get the tech drawing from nissan.

which shows the whole shaft and the repair kit with part numbers .

Stessing!!!

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
