Have anyone replaced them so far? How big is the job or it's better off leave this mess for someone else to sort out?

Right now the offside rear wheel making a shitload of noise between 60-90km/h but it's gone after a while. Something similar is happening to the nearside front wheel between 40-70km/h. Could it be anything else besides the wheel bearing that's packed in?

Thanks fellas.

mmmmm.....yep, same prob I had!!! that's all it could be with your current description!!!

had my front bearings replaced 4 months ago. mmmmm...sweet.

don't try replacing them yourself, unless your big and got the right tools. (the front bearings on a 33 are massive and 'square' profiled'..as opposed to 'cone'.)

$120.00 for front bearings, appx $120 for labour. (Gary Rogers) rears should be similar. (search my previous thread on this, more correct info)

also....Check ur tyres, properley, too...check for 'feathering', pressure etc...

The noise difference was incredible once above 60kmh. (nothing now!!)

Do a search on my 'previous threads' on 'wheel bearings'....I'm sure that I left a lot more info on this subject, back then. (including prices!!)Just that I'm at work...and stuff!!!

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      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?

      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)
