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.

Wow 14yrs! That is dedication ;) Sounds like a decent freshen up :yes:

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

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
