Hey all,

Over the last few days I have noticed a massive vibration coming from the rear of the car.

Today I was changing the wheels on my car and noticed a massive amount of (vertical) play when holding the wheel at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock position

I'm assuming that I have a rooted wheel bearing

Does anyone know a part number and a good place to purchase them from?

Cheers

Shane

actually....I think we just came across something cheaper (I have always bought nissan until now......4x= OUCH!)

will try and confirm and post up details

No rear option for bearings other than Nissan.

I just purchased a set of aftermarket rears for a great price of $100 each, only to find out that the listing is incorrect, and is in fact only for the gt-st etc.

Of course I found this out after pulling the old ones apart, so I had no option but to buy genuine nissan ones to replace them, at more than 3x the cost!

This IS available aftermarket. The GTR one is different. This is the bearing they sent me for the GTR which is slightly too small and lacks the handbrake braked on top.

You should expect to pay $150 or less.

I think the manufacturer is CBC bearing, but I'm not sure. And parts place should be able to look it up for you and order it. You don't need to go through Nissan.

What you will get is the cradle and bearing, so all you need to do is push out the hub centre and press it in to the new bearing. You need a press for this, don't even think about using a club hammer.

These bearings are available from decent bearing suppliers. You will need to take your old bearing in to compare as the listing isn't correct.

They list the R34 GTT as the same bearing as an S13.

I note the bearing in your photo doesn't have the handbrake anchor cast onto the bearing housing. The aftermarket S13 bearings I bought came with the that anchor, but it isn't required as the S13 doesn't have a drum style handbrake.

You may find that you can still use the bearing even though it has the handbrake anchor, worked fine in the S13.

Cost $90 per side.

The only bearing I'm having difficulty sourcing is the R32 GTR, but I'm not giving up.

sorry to hijack the thread,

i've got an r32 gts-t rear end in my s13, if i clutch in and coast/roll along- i have excessive road noise and i think the wheels bearings in the rear have given up.

anyone know how much i should expect to pay for new bearings?

and can i replace them myself?

or

is it a mechanics job?

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
