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

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
