I have a R33 SII 96 model

I have done the rear wheel bearings, they were about $90 ea. for the bearing kit from CBC Bearings

I'm doing the front wheel bearings on saturday, I have been qouted $135 ea. for the kit before GST from CBC Bearings, so they will be about $150 ea.

my mate is a mechanic so he did them at 'mates rates'

the rears were a bitch because when we removed the bearing from the hub, the outer casing stayed in the hub and had to be cut out with a little air grinder

you will need a press, 10 ton or so to remove the bearing, if you don't have access to a press don't bother doing it yourself

also here's a link to DYI thread

pretty sure u can get hub and bearing units from cbc, would cost more but make it much easier to change the rears, no press needed.
