    V36 Sedan Front Wheel Bearing

    in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti

    V36 Sedan Front Wheel Bearing

    So I've just had a wheel alignment as I've had some high speed humming from my wheels at speed and could not figure out the issue.

    I visited Heasmans Steering (NSW) and they diagnosed that I need my front left wheel bearing replaced. I did some prior research on high speed vibrations and it seemed like a wheel bearing could be a possibility so I was not surprised.

    Has anyone had experience with front wheel bearings on the V36 (KV36/PV36) sedan chassis?

    I have found a local distributor on eBay for front wheel bearings for Nissan Skyline V36 and other models (Y50, G35, M35, etc) and OEM part numbers '40202-EG36C & 40202-EG300'. They have confirmed with my VIN and vehicle details that it is a match.

    That being said, would it be worth while to replace both left and right front wheel bearings to save the hassle later on as I am almost at 110 xxx kms.

    Any advice would be great, cheers.

    got a 2009 V36 sedan with the 7spd, overall it is a good car

    few mods and it'll be wonderful but as stock things to note would by the clunky transmission which can be fixed up with a tune

    if you're looking to mod for performance too, you'd have to drop a lot of money to make it faster but for a stock N/A it is definitely quick enough

    English & GPS on the head unit is sometimes hard to change but if you find the right people they may be able to convert it for you

    unfortunately i'm looking to trade my car in for something newer and euro in the near future but it has and is still serving my daily driving well

    Last Slowlife meet last week. De-stickered whole car and just running it clean now. I think it looks better. This is how it currently sits and is the best picture i have at the moment.

    For UpRev, just buy the cable online direct from USA, cheapest option.

    Any reputable tuner then can tune your car on the dyno. But if you're lazy, just go to Tunehouse, 1.6K for Ecutek tune but buy your mods first so no need for retune.

    Contact Nagoya Motors if you want English/Nav conversion, looking at 2-2.5K

    Problem Fitting Aftermarket Wheels

    in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti

    Posted · Edited by mkn23

    Update:

    I've fitted the wheels and nuts and it looks okay...bit tucked in so I'll be going with the 25mm spacers from gktech

    At first the fronts were making a strange noise but I tightened the nuts and it was all good but the rears eventually made a rubbing, squeaking noise every time I braked, checked the rotors and it seemed something on the pad was somehow scratching the rotor, brought to the mechanic right around the corner because I my normal mechanic was booked out till next week and the guy said it just needed to be machined again as it was done properly, so I just let him do his thing to get it over and done with. Picked it up the next morning, the guy said he fit a smaller spacer (wot? didn't realise there was a spacer) to fix the noise but there was some noise still evident but he just said it just needed to be bedded in so off I went and with more driving the noise got louder so now I'll be leaving it on Monday to see what the issue is.

    And before I went to the mechanic, I put my stock rears back on and the same sound could be heard so it wouldn't be the wheels.

    Here's a pic

    You'll be fine. Just make sure the spacers are done properly and redone after driving a few hundred kms.

    I run 25mm front and 20mm rear with OEM wheels. Yes they are probably illegal but most mods are illegal unless you get a certificate.

    which brand spacers did you get?

    Spacers are illegal in Australia.

    everything fun is illegal in Australia.

    Not really going for the stance look, if I wanted I could just run some spacers maybe but they're my first non OEM wheels for cheap so I'm not fussed. Fronts are +45 and rears are +50, so I assumed +47 would be suitable in the middle of the two.

    I'll give it another shot tonight with some more tools (and sleep) and take some pictures.

    Any recommended lug nut brands? Not looking to fork out huge amounts of money but a reliable and decent looking set would be nice. And also would it better to be open ended or close ended?

    So I picked up a used set of wheels, Rays Gram Lights 18x7.5 +47 with 245s all round for a good price but I'm having fitment issues. Tire clearance is perfectly fine but actually fitting the wheels on isn't.

    To my knowledge the stud pattern is 5x114.3 so the rears fit fine apart from my lug nuts which don't seem to fit or lock, correct me if I'm wrong but we can't use OEM nuts and the thread pattern is 12x1.25? And I got the Rays Dura Aluminium for like $50, probably replicas but I don't mind (unless that's the reason they won't lock on properly).

    The front rotors have this extra half stud thing, did a bit of research and it looks like it's in the place of the rotor lock down nut, the rear rotors have a flat bolt/screw that is flat on the plate whereas the fronts in the same area is protruding outwards.

    Just wondering if you guys have any solutions before I hassle my mechanic with changing my tires...

    Cheers guys
