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

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
