Just got the car back today from servicing and was told the passenger side rear wheel bearing is on its way out. I haven't heard the noise myself but I have noticed that the handling of the car has been less precise recently, and the steering wheel sometimes feels like somebody is tugging at it.

My question is, should I get an OEM replacement or CBC's? They sell a kit for R34 through Just Jap.

The part you linked to is for 2WD models only, I recently got a pair of nissan bearings through just jap for my 32 GTR and they were about twice that price. Pretty sure there is no aftermarket option for GTR.

No aftermarket option for the GTR, i know i tried real hard to find one...

Pretty sure the other models are covered aftermarket from what i remember while searching around.

Id get the CBC version, take your old one in you to check its right when your at the counter.

Thanks guys, I've got the N/A rear wheel drive R34 so the CBC bearing should fit.

Got a little trip planned tomorrow, about 150km worth of driving. Wondering if I should drive down or hitch a ride with a mate. I jacked up the car and took a video of the free play to determine just how bad it is, and if it can make the journey tomorrow. What do you esteemed gentlemen think?

Dont drive it for crying out loud....that's well and truly screwed.....

Thanks man, I won't take it out then. Much appreciated. I obviously couldn't go to a mechanic today to get the advice being Christmas. So I'm very glad SAU was able to come through for me.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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!
