Hi all, good to be back ondasite...still ace!

Tonite I went tp Gary Rogers Nissan in Glen Waverley to pick up my new front wheel bearings....I was told on Saturday by Genesis Tuning in Blackburn that they were noisy..(geesh! I tawt dey were my tyres!), anyways, have you guys (SOME OF U guys have!).... seen the size of these farking things....they are probably compatble with those found on a small passenger aircraft. They r not 'coned' at all and only one bearing is used per wheel. I'm amazed cause I've replaced a couple of sets on Ossie cars (2 pieces per wheel, being an inner and outer cone)...but these ones, what can I say...FAAAARK!

Anyways....has anybody done these at home with their own tools. Will i need a 'puller', or will me and dad just be able to slide the things out?

Hey thanx.....just thought the info might be useful, (when a set gets tossed at you by Mr.Rogers from the computer desk...no, they're not for a Lockheed Jetstar.)

Any help always much appreciated. Mark.

ps. $26.50 FOR one spark plug for these machines!!!???? FAAAAARK

how much for bearings if you dont mind me asking

Hey J!

ofcourse I don't mind!!

$67.50 each side incl GST...I didn't bother with new protective caps ($22.00 each).

Man! they weigh 900 grams each!!!

I can't help with the bearings, but just buy copper plugs at about $20 a set and replace them when changing oil :(

Hey Duncan, no way in the world would I like to take off all those hoses and cross-bar, and induction stuff etc...just to replace the plugs every few months.........NO WAY!!! I'll stick with the long life plugs so I don't have to go thru all that messing around again!!! But maybe you have more time and a nice garage, so this is easy for you?

Anyways...Midas in Clayton did my front bearings (parts supplied) for $55.00 each wheel..........ace. I reckon the guy regrets quoting only this much in the first place though!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
