Hi,

Does anybody know whether R33 GTR front wheel bearings will fit series 2 C34? My driver's side bearing is shagged, and the only bearing I can find which is specifically for C34 is worryingly for "96-99" (which is odd since series 1 finished in 98 and series 2 in 2001).

Does anyone know if these will fit?

If not, I thought I might have more luck with '33 GTR since they're more common (on ebay at least).

cheers

Don't know Dave but at least the GTR one says its for awd and rwd front suspension components are often different. I haven't done a front wheel bearing on my car but on other cars I have just removed the bearing and gone to a bearing shop where they measure the ID the OD and the width and supply a generic bearing set c/w seal.

I just discovered that JustJap has the same part listed for all GTRs as well as 4WD stages front wheel bearings - http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=19332&cat=&page=1

The justjap part is an "NTN" part, and the eBay one I've been looking at at half the JJ price is a GBC one. Does anybody have any experience/preference either way with these? I assume GBC is "global bearing company", and a quick Google suggests that NTN is Japanese (a plus) but beyond that I don't know if the NTN ones are worth $120-ish each?

I did the rears recently, a lot of places incorrectly quoted the the GTST part which is different and half the price. I would be double checking the cheaper part is for an AWD skyline,

Otherwise yes the part number for the GTR front wheel bearing is the one you want.

Thanks guys. Ended up ordering 2 x R33GTR front bearings from justjap, since they're only ~$28 more expensive then getting NTN ones from ebay. Do they need to be pressed on/off?

PS The ebay ones are obviously for a series 1. The year is just off by 6 months. I contacted the seller and they told me they had a different part in their listings for series 2, but they couldn't supply it.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
