Hello hello guys!

A bit of a dillema. My wheel bearings have been failing for quite some time im guessing as i just brought the car and they havent been fixed or replaced by the previous owner, just wandering if this does any damage to the rotor or any other part of the car if u keep them on even though theyre failing??

thanks in advance!

well they get noisey long before they die which is the good news.

the bad new is, if you really do leave it long enough to fail it will sieze, instantly locking the wheel to the hub. depending on how fast you are going it could be real interesting (I've seen a few race cars with seized wheel bearings).

the other bad news is they are a relitively expensive (compared to say a falcon/commodore) and need to be pressed in and out, which makes it a job for a workshop

Changed a couple of rear ones on the mates 300zx. Cartridge type bearing $150-200!

Definately need a press to do them, as you have to press out the hub spline.

Inside these bearings they use a plastic bearing cage!

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
