I've got a manual R32 Skyline and when driving above 65 kph you can

hear a huming sound coming from possibly the back wheel bearing.

Its a on off tempo, kinda like mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm

As speen increases the tempo gets faster.

Am i correct in saying this could be a wheel bearing thats shot?....

My R33 had this issue, the noise was not really noticeable until 50+ km/h. I've written a tutorial on how to replace the bearing in a 33, it may be of some assistance to you perhaps =)

Cheers & good luck.

i have a similar thing, but its only noticeable when at speed (like 50+) around sweeping left corners

RCEBNR, i had the same prob with my r33, but on the other side. put in a new hub kit, and problem rectified. the noise is intermittent because the load changes on the wheel. hub kit about 200 bucks from bearing shops.

$140 locally, can get you contact details if you like.

Its cool dude, i work at a brg/engineering shop. they didnt have any in stock so went down the road. it was 180 plus gst for the complete kit.

    • interestingly enough, i found out the answer is yes. doing a flush did fix my recurring A/T light. it might have been because of the trans filter: but that doesn't really make sense to me. the fluid/filter was super dirty. would that increase the pressure in the lines and trigger an A/T light? does the car even have a way of detecting that? i have no idea. i've done 200+ miles after the flush and no A/T light. if my A/B solenoids went bad, i would think the light would've come on. shifts and drives way better now though...at 2k rpm instead of 2500...no hesitation and downshifts when i want it to. 
    • I vote go red. Only because I hate keeping gloss black clean. Was no worries helping out either! Glad you've survived the rain outs of QLD
    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
    • Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
