I don't have a circlip in mine (race car) haven't for years. it can't fall out unless something else is wrong because it is held in at the hub end, and the hub is held to the subframe by the control arms

I don't have a circlip in mine (race car) haven't for years. it can't fall out unless something else is wrong because it is held in at the hub end, and the hub is held to the subframe by the control arms

thanks for the quick reply

i thought the circlip was there to keep the diffs seal against the shaft. if there is any movement at all wont oil leak out?

drag-on-silvia, I hope you don't mind me hijacking the thread for a minute. While we are on the topic of front shaft does anyone know how to remove this boot (pictures below) from the front shaft? I am trying to remove that metal segment of the shaft that houses the bearings.

Cheers!

HI manage13 the metal disk in the end of the shaft will pop out quite easily the best way is to remove the shaft from the car and just give it a light tap from the hub end with a soft hammer and the disk will pop straight out then you will find there is a circlip that holds the bearings on the shaft so is a fairly staight forward proccess of removing the circlip the bearings will then slide straight off the splined shaft. Assembly is just as simple slide the new bearings on install the new circlip and boot repac with new grease (supplied with the new boot) replace the disk that seals the shaft and reinstall. Might be a good idea to have the shaft checked though as if the cup itself has excessive wear new bearings alone will make no differance if the shaft is clicking while on lock. and you may need to soarce some good condition secon hand shafts.

Just a quick business plug here just for the benefit of forum members that may not know.

If people are looking to replace CV boots look no further than Pedders. An original cv boot from Nissan is about $90 each however I dropped of my old boot to Pedders Dandenong and they matched it for $35. The kit contained boot, two metal clamps and greece.

Big thumbs up to Pedders Dandenong for great customer service too! Dropped my old boot off at 4pm and was called 11am the next day informing me the boot was ready for pick up.

Hi manage13 you don't know that Pedders part number you were supplied do you? I'd like to buy the boots you are talking about.

All, I have attached the front drive shaft section from the manual for reference; though I am sure that this is no match for personal experience.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
