In the past week or so the front right cv boot on the stag has split. As its only just recently happened its making a hell of a mess on the backside of the weel and under and around it all.

How hard are they to change? Ive been told buy Xmetal N15 pulsar boots fit, can anyone confirm this? Can some one give me a how to change it? Its on the RSfour stagea.

Also some tips on doing cheffs 260 stag would be helpfull cos both of his have been gone for a while now and if its a diy well do his soon too ;)

Ive changed all mine but then realised i didnt to the ties up tight enough and now i have grease all under my car.

Its pretty easy to do, Wheel off, Middle nut out, losen end of drive shaft and take it out. A rattle gun is very handy to use also.

Also once u got it off take it to the C.V joint and drive shaft place in edwardstown, same rd as doyle crash but closer to south rd. They are roughly $15bucks each with grease.

Could work. Might be able to leave the rotor on and handbrake and undo it that way. Only one way to find out i guess.

Mines 4wd to, shouldnt make any difference. Just do the end ties on the boots up tight.

shit never really looked at that its a gt -4 ! lol sorry mate!

Hand break wont d oa thing cos its the fronts :P ... just get someone to stamp on the pedal :cheers:

havnt seen you out it a while how ya been anyway?

mayeb i will have a go myself... thought it could be tricky... gues I shouild be able to tackle most things after taking both turbos of adams 26! f**k doing that ever again.

if the boot has split and most of the grease is out DONT just put another boot on it chances are water/grime has already got into the joint and will still stuff up, better of hitting up S.A suspension in pooraka and getting a bearing kit done with new boot! just not worth all the effort for it to stuff up in a couple months!

yeah ive got some prices and cheapest by far is 85 at some place down in Lonsdale. Not close but its a fair bit cheaper.

If lukes done all his 4 ill have a look at it tomorrow morning and see what i think.

my front left is going.

boostworx will do it for $120

actually booking in now

Digging up an old thread here. I've done the rightfront drive shaft inner boot on my R33 GTR. I rang SA suspension and they only had a part number for an R32. My question...... Do the R32 and R33 GTR's use the same boot. If anyone knows for sure and it is the same, I can buy the boot and do the job over Easter, otherwise I have to take the shaft out to try and find a match.

Thanks.

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
