No ,thank you for commenting.

I tried to find some new bearings for the inner cv, but I can't find any. Do you know where I can get some? The drivers side is dry as a bone haha

The pass side had a failure 2 nights ago. It all of a sudden let go and I got some serious vibrations. But thanks to grant he gave me his reco one.


For a reco I'll only need new boots, grease, and inner bearings? As I believe the outside cv is non serviceable?

Becasue I'm lazy or CBF I swap my bad ones for Reco's from John. I think the price is good.

No need for the hassle of removing, pressing or getting greasy.

But yeah, if you're a DIY'er and handy on the tools then it's likely cheaper to do it yourself. Your own labour is free.

Yah I called him yesterday. It's in the low mid 1000's for a drivers side as he doesn't have many left and mine wouldn't be exchanged.
Now looking at rebuilding it instead.

Just need to find the bearings and cage etc.

Doesn't look like you can buy just the bearings online. I'll just re pack with grease and new boots and see how long it lasts I think.

Unless someone knows someone who can get them?

i've got nothing....I just take borken ones to a driveshaft shop, pay the bill, get nice reco-ed ones back. Everything that happened in between is black magic to me.

haha same to me, the more i research, the easier it looks though. A machine shop would and should be able to whip something up a little oversize to help with stuffed inner cases etc. But I am not in the loop so would possibly cost an arm and a leg.

So I've bought new boots and i'll inspect the bearings and see how i go :) 

Missed out on some reco'd driver side shaft last night by an hour :( was $120

I usually look at the cost of parts + my time at $100ph vs a shop. Usually i am forced to do it myself :P 
Sorry, but how do you get good prices from the shop? Last time i went in they wanted $500 just to put a timing belt kit on :/ and 3k for injectors installed for a friend. $450 for a drive shaft... Among other times i've been in and sent mates there... I just can't in good conscious recommend them anymore... I've removed the shop name from your post.

Thanks for trying to help though :)

My friend reco'd my drivers side for me, and helped do the whole job. The drivers side didn't need much prying at all, we probably could have gotten away with leaving the diff cover on. 

 

@Duncan You should give recoing one a go. We cut the boots off, soda blasted the inner case, used a punch and hammer to remove the inner cv bearing carrier off the spline, cleaned everything thoroughly and re greased. Very easy. 

 

Now there is zero shudder :)

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)

      Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 1999

      By Bman1296 · Posted

      For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
