Hi Everyone,
I’m currently searching for a part for my R33 GTR—specifically the Nissan 38341-03V00 Retainer, Side Bearing. Usually, I rely on Amayama.com to source original parts, but this time they informed me that the part is no longer in production. So, I’m reaching out to see if any of you know alternative sources.
Additionally, I’ve already checked JP-carparts.com, but unfortunately, they don’t have it either.
The reason behind my search is that the driveshaft joint (as shown in the attached image) has deep scratches. I unknowingly ran the car for too long without realizing it was broken and had no grease left. Consequently, the three pin bearings inside were completely damaged.
Now, I suspect that the bearing where the shaft goes in might also be worn. Although I can’t feel it with my finger, the markings on the end prompted me to start looking for a new bearing.
Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards
