Honeslty I didn't know you could replace the boots...
TBH I've bought them now, but its good to know I can replace the rubbers if needed.
Is replacing the boots a faff? Where do I get the rubber boots from, ebay?
Plus the car is going on track, so I feel its better to replace for new units...
This is where I've ordered them from:
https://www.hardrace.co.uk/front-lower-ball-joint-0070135.html
They are in Bradford, they trade under "Apex Performance" (K-Sport/BC Suspension suppliers etc
I'll keep you posted if the fit or not....
I'm actually pretty upbeat at the moment.
I also spoke to a InTrax suspension yesterday who can supply me with some really good coilover options.
We have been discussing about the best suited coilovers and potential spring rate development for the car, specific to my needs.
It has be...
I may have bought a new turbo....
GTX2876 (.86) Gen2
Massive shout to Owen Developments who did me a deal on it.
I've had a few other quotes, but the nice lady gave me a price I could not ignore and stuffed it on my credit card...
At the present moment it looks like there is very little options to purchase ball joints separately.
I also spoke to somebody at Nissan who told me that the Nissan UK and Europe side of the business and not interested in supplying these products anymore.
However I have a couple of people who...
Lets regurgitate this.
Where did you order your ball joints from in the end?
I'm seeing lots of ball joints for the Nissan, but I think these are all non fitting items.
I have seen a couple of ball joints that are the following:
Can you remember if those spec's are what you ordered or a...
Good news overall it seems!
Regards the rebuild, it depends on how much your budget will allow?
For me, my build was pretty standard:
Forged pistons
Bearings
Valves
Springs etc
Seals
Crank bearings (and new crank)
Oil Pump
Water Pump
Timing chain
As for the gearbox - 100% rebuilt that.
These...
This would be best!
Just a simple rebuild would be a great idea. Nothing too fancy, just get it all refreshed and at least you know its new and ready to go for whatever you've got planned for it.
I would, however add some forged pistons.
These are cheap to buy from the US, (when I bought them)...
I have an engine in the engine bay! :sunglasses:
Overall it was a pretty incident free day.
Couple of small issues with a few parts/items that needed replacing, plus remembering where parts went/fitted, but really.... it went in without too much hassle. :fearscream:
One thing that did...
If you struggle, there is a FB GTiROC page.
Its got sellers selling parts on the cheap if they are willing to buy from the UK/EU/AUS
Don't expect too much tho as I've been trying to find parts and most people are time wasters/don't reply to messages.
I gave them a ring last week, but they said they couldn't help me!
Might try them again just in case.
I have got Performance Silicone Hoses Ltd looking at tooling the two pipes for me.
Hopefully they can sort it out, or worse case I'll drop those pipes off to them later this week to hopfully...
So my parts came back from the powder coating shop.
Everything is looking much tidier and protected.
Hopefully it'll keep all those items in check for the next 10 years+

I'm still...
