Wheel Bearings

[DECIM8]

Hey guys,

Getting a new rear wheel bearing for the R34. It seems no one has done this on these forums and written about it.

Can any one advise on if the bearings listed on ebay will also fit a R34? I will post the link.

I have already ordered from Victoria and fingers crossed it will work.

Can anyone confirm?

The seller is 99% sure it will fit and tells me the shaft size, does anyone know the shaft size for GTT rear wheel?

Its meant to look like this

I opened FAST and it looks like R32 GTR and R34 GTT have the same part number, so you should be ok

[GTR1993]

did you then click the find part number? Because thos numbers there arnt actual part numbers just a description, as they are both hubs for example.

Thanks a million mate, Can you find the code number for the rear left (I assume left from looking at the rear of the car)

Thanks! This is really helpful

Nissan are useless. Went from quotes between two places from $255 and $280 they would match it at the other place however.

Rockdale Nissan would not supply a product code and was anoying the shit out of me, however with a VIN Artarmon will match it, Thank god!

Anyway thanks to all who helped, Bearings aftermarket dont exist for the R34!

Cheers

Got the Part number from nissan today (had to pay $255 to get it.. i.e buy the part before they would supply a code - have to love Nissan)

The part number supplied was correct, however a friend has installed it on his R34 and the bearing is the wrong size. He made a fitting to fit within it.

Looks like a giant game of shambles.. I am not looking forward to fitting it.

Thanks again for the help Kotter

is 255 for both sides of the rear or just one?

jebus...

also why are you replacing them? i've never heard of the wheel bearings go in any skiz to date, unless they were smashed.

On a side note, make sure you correctly fit them. Buggered wheel bearings = wheel comes off

Just one.. Ball bearing in a housing rip off! Cant drive it like this tho!

Yeah they are buggered as atm .. So will have to put them in correctly.

I hit a curb, drive with bad camber and often use the handbrake.. this is why.

had a front left go in my gtst. It's not uncommon. The front right in my s13 sounds like it isn't too healthy either.

They will all let go eventually. Add extra load (track work, big offset) and it will be sooner rather than later.

Seriously though. All the bearings in the car will most likely be manufactured by NSK. And all of their bearings have a number stamped on them. Take that number to any bearing supplier and they will be able to get the right one.

[DECIM8]

The R34 bearings for the rear are not imported by the company who imports all the bearings.. they sell to other sellers..

[DECIM8]

Bearing is replaced.. $255 for part $180 + haggling for fitment = happy R34 ..

hope no one else has this problem cheers

from memory 38-40mm shaft i believe.

you should really replace both sides mate as if ones gone other wont be too far...... you can get a much cheaper price from bearing places than nissan as ntn supplies bearing for nissan so same thing just maybe diff part numbers

[DECIM8]

Abit slow but thanks anyways as above, R34 bearings are not stocked by a wholesaler. Secondly I hit something with that wheel hence the rooted wheel bearing. No need to replace both thats stupid.

[NYTSKY]

I just went to CBC Bearings to get mine. $250 for all 4 mates rates

[08r3308]

just trying to help mate

like NYTSKY said he got hooked up but im sure bearing place wouldn't be more than $150 a pop anything over that you are getting ripped off hardcore

glad you got it sorted out tho

[DECIM8]

Yeah Nissan is a rip, cant expect to much from them. Cheers

I went to a beaing company in Seven Hills ! The were like half the price of everyone else. Continental bearings or some such name.
