Might just do that. Be good to get a baseline and see how the new bearings are wearing.

I probably should do a compression test, to see if my honing skills where up to the task or maybe it's better if I don't know, lol.

There should be zero bearing wear, anything in the oil will be rings/hone bedding in and left over from the build.

Do a test, change oil then do another in a few thousand k's, they're cheap. 

Comp test only if it's using oil/excessive blowby. Remove oil cap when car is running, should be under light vacuum, if it's breathing out the cap then maybe worth a comp test. 

No harm in doing a test for piece of mind though plus you will now have a baseline figure to compare against in say 5, 10, 20 ks. The XR5 was not breathing/showing issues, and I tested it anyway just to see what new comp figures were for later comparison (that engine recently clocked up 10ks with the new owner - proud dad).

    • Luckily I haven’t bought one yet but I’ve had several people tell me different things and was trying to find out what’s going on with my car lol apparently type m had different lover knuckles like the gtr but someone put non type m knuckles on mine Ok on another topic does anyone have a spindle for sale mine is screwed bad lmao 
    • The vendor you bought from is a dickhead who can't tell the difference between AWD and RWD bearings. Their eBay listing is one of the first hits too, and is wrong. Any other hit shows the ones that are on your car. A search for GTR rear wheel bearings, unsurprisingly, finds the one you have from Shift. f**king muppets.
    • Got the flat door cards "good enough" for now. After cutting out the arm rest I removed all the stock trim material. Then filled the gap with a bit of Masonite and wrapped it in some adhesive foam to hide the  transitions as much as possible. Then I applied some black vinyl material to the panel with some spray on contact adhesive smoothing the edges as best as I could. Here is how it sits in the car with the door handle and cut down window switch mounted
    • Ok so I have a little bit of an issue. So I have a 1992 r32gtst and trying to replace the rear wheel bearing and spindle the research I’ve done shows a different style bearing than what is currently on my car. So the picture of the new bearing with the box says it’s the correct bearing as does my research but the picture shown of the old bearing is the one that came off the car. I’m a bit confused the new bearing has an ear on it that I’m assuming goes to where the top of the ebrake shoes mount as to where my old bearing does not. Any help would be awesome 
    • What in the absolute mind f**k. Generally speaking, you cannot diesel a petrol engine without sparkplugs which you don't have since you're disconnecting battery.... Something is very fishy here.
