If its the same as anything (S1 I am assuming?) then it will be the same as R33 GTS-4. In my experience the GTR's have everything just a little chunkier. (front driveshafts for example)

Do us all a favour, and if you do get the Nissan one, can you ask the counter monkey to compare the part number to the GTR and GTS-4 and let us know the results?

Cheers

If the boot has split, and the grease is all over the inside of the wheel, what sort of life expectancy do you give the CV? I would replace it, myself, just to be on the safe side. Have you ever seen the damage a CV does when it lets go?

For your info, the stagea outer boot kit part number is 39241-50A92, and FAST shows it as being the same

for the 260RS, GTS4 and GTR.

You rock! :mrt:

I don't suppose you got the same info for the CV themselves?

Just take it to any reputable CV speciallist around you and get them to do it for you :P

nice and easy.. less down time than doing it yourself

and depending on what the condition of the CV joint is when you take it apart .. it may or may not need servicing. Dont stress its all too easy! just a few hours waiting around for them to do it

I second that. I had the same problem on mine - right cv boot. Took it to a CV joint specialist and had the boot replaced for $80. Apparently no problems with the cv joint itself. :dry: Hopefully yours is the same.

Has anyone actucally had their CV Joints replaced yet. (I'm particularly interested in hearing from Brisbane peoples). My boots are split and grease on the inside of the wheel. Now not ever having anything to do with CV's before (damn AWD FWD cars :) ) what are the costs like. And is it a job for any normal mechanic or is it better to see a CV workshop (see plenty of them in the yellow pages). My girlfriends pulsar is also in dire need of CV's too (because I just got the boots replaced on hers and the joints didn't last too much longer before the knocking started) so I just might as well kill all the birds with one stone.

if you can find a good ( reputable ) place then your FAR FAR better off just taking the cars to them and letting them do it. I have attempted to do the outer boot on a pulsar CV joint and it was a royal ass pain . these guys at the CV shops have

A) all the tools etc needed to do the job correctly

b) spare parts etc

c) the know how of what to do etc.

I know Dale ( stinky rooster ) has an abject fear of letting others do his mechanical work .. but I would dare say even he might agree with me on this matter.

CV joint place all the way

I don't think you guys read the post properly. I wasn't asking if it was an easy job for me to do but wether it would be better to take it to any normal mechanic or to take it to a specialised CV / Driveline workshop. Be fu**ed if I'm going to do something like this myself. And my cars rearley see a workshop either unless its something I really don't want to do.....this is one of those things. I really just wanted to know what costs are like.

Sorry for getting Off topic

Yeah I would take it to a C.V place. Because if you took it to your local mechanic he would probably just order in the parts from a CV place. My logic is that fixing CV joints is their ( the CV people ) bread and butter , so you would guess they would know them better than a standard mechanic.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
