Guys,

I need to buy both front steering shaft rubber boots, after markets one, but no one seems to have them, checked with Repco, autobarn and supercheap.

where can I buy them from? any online shop?

im in NSW---near blacktown-castle hill, kellyville :thumbsup:

NOTE - NIssan doesn't have any stock currently in australia, its $49.95 + GST each..too expensive anyway...

Cheers

well when you consider the alternative to not getting those replaced and having dirt and grime get in there, $50 is not bad at all. Buy a barina/ excel if you want to be a stingy bastard :yes:.

From memory Repco/ supercheap have a universal fit steering boot.

Yep you can get universal boots

Ya got a universal one from Repco for $11....and comes with 2year 40,000Km warranty heheh :yes:, funny only one repco store told me that they have universal ones....

Cheers Guys...

if universal ones dnt suit you get some off another make of car that are similar. I used magna boots on my old silvia

This is the one I got from Repco Part number RRB000, I saw in another thread (CLICK HERE FOR OTHER LINK (DIY link whcih shows you how to change steering boot :cheers: )which used repco part number RRB003 not sure which one gona fit properly.

I had a closer look at both my one RRB000 and other RRB003 (pic below), when you count the round circles

RRB000 - 11 Turns

RRB003 - 14 Turns

which means my one is bit shorter..............oooh well will change it tomorrow :thumbsup:

Bit of a bump...

I've had a good search on here for info about steering rack boots- the trouble is I'm after REAR ones for my R33. All the threads I've come across are to do with the front ones.

Any hints? Its a fair bit smaller than the front boots are. Will try to post some photos if that helps.

ive got a r33 gts-t series 2 and am changing over the steering boots. My original boots had 48059 marked on them. Not sure if this is correct as they were quite difficult to get off (i had to cut them off in the end) After reading on here i decided to get the universal boot, rrb 000

i have put the 2 boots together. as you can see the end diameter will not fit over the steering rack. i could cut the last few rings off which could work or is there a better option ??

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
