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.

    • 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 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
