do i need any grease/gasket goo as well?

easy enough to do while i'm changing spark plugs?

also, CV boot replacement quote of $200 (front driver side only). is that reasonable? or should i get a quote from a specialist CV place?

many thanks all

Yeah you need both and you need the half moons that go with them......

as for the cv boot get another quote i wouldnt pay more than 150odd

CV boots are a PITA to do - look for a specialist - they are generally a bit cheaper.

PerformanceNissan on Ebay sell OEM gaskets and other things for RB's ex-USA. Very reliable service from them.

I paid $15ea for inner & outer front CV boots from a local auto spares shop(since changed owners). Changed it myself a while back, PITA but well worth it to see how it all comes appart & goes back together.

^^I'll see your $120 for a cam cover gaskets and raise you a full OEM engine gasket kit delivered for $200.

They were wanted in a hurry.lol When you live out of the city it is difficult sometimes getting parts.

When I pull down the G to turbo it I will take you up on that offer.

I would also consider paying the extra for a full gasket kit and sticking whatever you don't need on the shelf. Usually within 2 years you will need one or more of the other gaskets.

If you haven't done a 100,000km service, consider ordering the "60,000 mile" service kit while you are at it and get him to combine postage.

thats the guy i got my timing belt kit from

$260AUD to my door!!!!!!!! and it was all genuine nissan stuff too (the kit had waterpump and the pulleys too)

I was quoted $360 for a VRS kit. Will make some enquiries if I can get it cheaper.
