The bearings in the upright (that hold the kingpin) are a serviceable item. I takes some pasence to get them out without damaging the upright, but it can be done pretty easy. I recently changed mine

Did you do yours on a GTSt or GTR? GTR is servicable, Chris from racepace had part numbers for them however GTSt, the upright comes as an assembly only. Would be great if they could be replaced.

They're all serviceable, Fast just won't let you select the bearing individually on the GTST pictures. If you go to the GTR one and then grab the part number though it shows up with numbers for GTS models as well. Only the R34's won't let you see part numbers for the lower bearing for 2WD models by itself but I'm willing to be it's probably interchangeable with R33 part numbers. I may be wrong though, anyone with a 34GTT know?

R32-34 Kingpin bearing part numbers
Upper Kingpin Bearing
R34/R33/R32
ALL NSK 40030-33P02
ALL NTN 40030-33P07(Is listed as an NTN bearing for R33/34 but listed as an NSK bearing for R32? Doesn't really matter cus they're just manufacturers, just odd)
Lower Kingpin Bearing
R34(4WD Part numbers only)
GTS4 NSK 40030-33P12
GTS4 NTN 40030-33P17
GTR NSK 40030-60U00
GTR NTN 40030-60U05
R33
2WD NSK 40030-33P12
2WD NTN 40030-33P17
4WD NSK 40030-60U00
4WD NTN 40030-60U05
R32
ALL NSK 40030-60U00
ALL NTN 40030-60U05
Well having a proper look through all of them neatly looks like all R32's used the(I'm guessing larger) bearings found in the 4WD 33's & 34's, probably due to cutting costs I believe they've probably gone to a smaller bearing for 2WD 33's and then GTS4 34's. 34GTT bearings may very well be this same part number but as FAST won't show them I'm guessing Nissan want you to just replace the entire kingpin assembly as people have stated.
Can also grab numbers for the seals etc if anyone needs them.

Ok, so you are a flaming CHAMPION!

What will make you a good amongst men is if you know the part numbers for the Z32?

Ok, new diff, shafts, cradle, F&R shocks, hubs, arms, gearbox ...CHECK!

Just need the dimensions for new alloy tailshaft and have a few big weekends of the car up inm the air losing her undercarriage and whilst its up in the air going to finally strip the sound deadening out of the boot and interior and spray the back half of the car and cage.

Very excited to getting it back on the road and driving a car that is tight and free of rattles. I suppose after 14 years of loyal service she needs a good freshen up in the suspension and drivetrain.

I stayed away from the R34 rear end as I wanted to run teh GTR alloy hubs and I was told that the bottom of the forked R32 shocks needs to be modded to suit the R34 hubs. I am told that its not a concern when using R33 hubs in an R32. I dont understand how it can be an issue if R33 and R34 shocks are interchangable but I suppose I will realise soon enough if they R33 hubs are going to present me with the same problem.

I hope to get some new minter rims son too...I dont like my chances of fitting 295rears and 265 fronts with my current guards. Front is an easy fix but rears are a headache re guard clearnce

Just a light hit. Housemate took it to work and a guy he works with backed into it in a ute with tow bar. That combined with my sister vising from teh UK and taking the keys to it back with here etc etc it didnt see much use the last months of 2013.

Keen to get the new gearbox, shocks, cradle, cront hubs...all new bushes and bearings etc all slapped under her. She should drive like new! And finally be able to look to start doing some track work when I get back from a holiday in June

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p

      @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months

      There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By Duncan · Posted

      interesting....sounds like the later trans has software differences (or AM vs JDM). If I wasn't going down the tuning route it would be worth looking into retrofitting a new computer to the old box.
