Remember this happy feeling.........its the last time for a very long time lol:lol:

Has the engine been out recently? or the gearbox off?

The seals generally only start to weep or leak if the shafts have been taken out i.e. engine / gearbox out or it could just be wear and tear.

Not 100% sure you are able to change the seal without having to strip the engine / box down. Do a search see if there are methods of changing etc.

If you know a bit about mechanics, doing the CV Boot and Brake Pads should be a doddle, i feel a big brake conversion coming on already:lol:

Enjoy,

Ant.

I think the driveshaft seals are just push in like the crank pulley one ;-) , I wouldn't make sense for Nissan to do them any other way, So it should just be a matter of pulling out the driveshaft and changing the seal.....

I wouldnt say that there overprone to be breaking cos id say the majority dont have any real problems.
The only problems ive ever had was a blown turbo elbow gasket,
and small things like window regulator cable snapped(15 years of use aint bad!) thats it.

Oh i have changed my clutch to an RPS Max steet clutch
but that was only after a day of hard launching at 5grand at the pod caused it to slip like a b1tch:lol: 8)
