Do Skylines have CV joints or something similar?

[chatmaster]

Ive been thinking about this problem with both GTS-t's and GT-R's. with GTS-t's its a rear wheel drive with four wheel steering so the wheels that are driving are also steering somewhat. similar with the GT-R's they would have a setup on both the front and rear since they are 4wd some of the time and steering with all four wheels. ive never come across this before untill i was asked about it... what mechanism does it use to drive the wheels and steer them? ive never heard anyone talk about CV joints or anything similar before so im asking.

thanks for your help guys much appreciated.

The HICAS system on the Skylines only moves the rear wheels a couple of degrees in either direction. It only activates over 80 Kph when exiting corners hard. In the R32 it is hydraulic and the R33 Electronic controlled by a separate computer in the boot. There are no CV joints or similar

Question: Do commadores and falcon's have CV joints? I know this is a dumb question, but i want to be sure of this FWD's have CV joints because they steer with the drive wheels??? I've never really understood the CV joint.

CV joints are really only uses on cars with massive castoring on the driveshafts like FWD cars.

They are certainly not on live axles or basic IRS systems like Falcodores.

what are the joints referred to that go between the diff and half shafts and hub and half shafts

surely these are what chatmaster is referring to

they have a similar rubber boot to cv joints
