Although, if you're in south-western sydney, i highly recommend you stay away from any shop on Hoxton Park Road.

CV's aren't' hard to rebuild, if you don't have the tools then yeah, throw it towards your nearest garage. Any half decent "mechanic" can rebuild a CV, it's quite common to do since there are millions of FWD cars about.

Hey lads, going to be removing the front CV's from the stagea (1999, series 2 rs4 auto), as the inner boots are shot on both, and since I'll be replacing the coilovers to a new/ish set of bilsteins, thank you SK, might as well do this too while I'm at it. Ive left this for way too long, atleast a year now, but no sounds yet so I think the joint is still okay. Anyhows, I am looking for a decent shop in Sydney who is decent, and wont charge an arm and a leg for it. Any recommendations? cheers TIA

Awesome stuff. I should sell my R32 and get a V37 RedSport haha. Looking forward to this build.

So, first things first, it's had a service for all fluids (2x coolant as it has air/water heat exchangers instead of air/air), new air filters (they were terrible, and one was pinched when installed by NIssan's "technician"). Also, both the boot and bonnet gas struts were shot, so ebay sorted some new ones, the jack handle kept me alive for the first service It needs tyres (more to come on that...) and the brakes are horribly grabby, looks like they've been badly glazed sitting around in Sydney traffic. On the bright side there are no obvious leaks and it runs well. The car goes well with 300kw (stock, claimed, I'll put it on a dyno soon), does good skids and handles reasonably well eg in long medium g corners. It is no cruiser like the Fuga though and is noticeably jiggly on the average (poor) rural road and terrible on corrugated dirt. I'll get some road/race shocks in it shortly which should help.
