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

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.

I got tools but nothing special, your typical <100 piece toolset ahaha
Though, I've never touched CV's before, and dont want to f*ck it up either...
I've never taken my car to a shop before (I usually do everything myself or ask the ole man for help) so appreciate the advice on that, will probably stay away even more now.
Regardless, any recommendations? 
Planning on going to the suspension shop in Rydalmere sometime soon after fitting the coilovers & cv's too for a good alignment.

I don't know of anything specialist about the Stagea and pulling it's CVs, but the ones I've worked on, are all damn easy.

Nothing "hard" at all, not even anything really technical or needing any crazy knowledge or precision.

Have a Google as you straight up might be able to buy decent replacement CVs/axles for the Stagea.

      R34 Gtt Fuel Pump Upgrade

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If you do mods that will draw more fuel, and check the fuel pressure at full load afterwards, and the pressure is still fine, then there is no (urgent) need to upgrade the fuel pump. Doing things "just 'coz" with no evidence or proven need is unscientific.

      Who puts a GT-V front bar on a GTT?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Could be worse. You could have an R33, which looks like a Magna was rear ended by a Maxima. Don't fret. It's a four door. No one really cares what it looks like at the front and rear ends.

      Power steering issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look, there is no way, no way at all, that you have an interconnection between your PS system and your AC. So just put that thought aside. The PS pump is the top one. The AC compressor is the bottom one. You cannot mistake them or their hoses. I do not understand what you mean by "tiny as metal needle". Is that "tiny as" as in "tiny as f**k?" And then "metal needle" as in what looks like an electrical wire poking out of a bit of conduit (in both photos)? I mean, it's clearly a single electrical wire, connected to a loom plug....on the AC compressor? I'm not that familiar with what that connection looks like, even though I had that part of my car (Neo25DET) partially apart today - I wasn't looking there). It could just be the clutch signal wire for the AC. The AC comp could be covered in PS fluid because....it is underneath and oil drips down.

      Oh yes!!  Just put my chassis # in here and it does say series 2: https://gtr-registry.com/en-er34-vin-table.php I actually feel less worried about the previous owner sniffing paint now. But honestly, this bumper makes it looks like a Mitsubishi Magna! Everything is nice and square until you get to the indicators 🥺
