Hey guys, im in the process of putting in my CV joints and there seems to be an issue where while I’m tightening the CV - HUB nut, it is pulling the stub axle on the diff out. I can see on the passenger side it is slightly out which I thought is normal. However on the drivers side it’s pulled out a lot further than the passenger side. I have the longer CV on the drivers side and shorter one on the passenger side.  Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do? 
cheers

Is the suspension at full droop? Try pushing up the lower arm with a jack. Careful not to lift the car off the chassis stands

yeah the suspension is at full droop. Okay I will try lifting up the lower and arm putting it in like that. If that was not to work, do you think that the issue might be with the stub axle circlip? As I was literally just able to pull out the stub axle with my hand and not a lot of force.

      In case you haven't come across it, there's also https://nissan.epc-data.com/ Go by VIN or drill down into your specific model and year and it'll have references for pretty much all the OEM parts. In very similar diagrams. Linked against amayama as well for ordering. Though they can be a bit slow and can be better to search around to get the parts locally.

      Just in case anyone finds this in the future, here's a diagram sent to me by Nissan to identify these hoses. I ended up finding them through EFI Solutions though because Nissan reckons they need to order it from Japan, with a total cost of approx $110 inc. So it as cheaper with EFI anyway. https://www.efisolutions.com.au/blow-by-hose-rb25det-r33-wc34-c34-c35 https://www.efisolutions.com.au/blow-by-rocker-cover-hose-rb25-r33-wc34-c34-c35

      OSGIKEN STR2CD 'wear'

      This is an older post of mine but I just thought I should update it and explain what the problem was. Long story short the friction plates were below their service limit. New they are around 4mm, and service limit is (according to OSG) 3.5mm In addition the crank seal gasket wasn't sealing 100% anymore and that led to an oily clutch. Not sure what came first and why the clutch was worn after just 10,000km .. but all good now. OSG refresh kit via Nengun

      Penrite ATF FS

      By MarcusH · Posted

      My r34 GTT auto transmission is slowly letting go, slipping every now and again, tiptronic deciding to not keep it in 1st / 2nd when flooring it, taking longer to shift so I’m going going flush it and replace the filter and hope it lasts a bit longer.    I’ve got 10L of Penrite ATF FS at home and I’m going to use it for it unless ye completely recommend against it.  Penrite list it as compatible. i understand I should be using Castro Transzmax however it’s quite expensive and I already have 10L of the ATF fs. Has anyone here used atf fs for there got or heard of anyone? Or am I silly for even considering anything other then Castrol  Thanks for your advice
