I just got them today from a place in Seven Hills

$76 for the 2.

I dealt with Frank at:

Bearing Industries

Seven Hills Rd (cnr Station Rd) Seven Hills 2147

(02) 9674 4322

There is one in Yennora as well.

I will post up the part numbers later but they are NSK - so they are the same as the originals.

Idler: NSK 56TB 2801 B01

Tensioner: NSK 60TB 0683 EA7L 806

I think the idler was the more expensive one (about $48). The tensioner about $28

These were for an R33!!

Not sure if R32 is the same. The tensioner is the same as for VL commo hence its cheapness.

Chrisso - glad you got them at the good rate.

I'm sure by now you found that the bearings include the pulleys. No need to push out old bearings etc

There the same bearings aswell i.e same manufacturer as genuine ones. No difference in quality..

My old bearings weren't that bad - but for that price I didn't want to risk it.

Yeah mate - all inclusive

I ended getting onefrom BSC and the other from CBC. CBC had them listed as different part numbers though - but the numbers were stuck over the original part number (???)

The mechanic pretty much insisted they be replaced. He's stoked that he knows where to get them cheap now too!

Thanks again!!

thanks benl1981 your advise has saved me A LOT of $$$.

The blokes at bearing industries are absolute champions I paid friday and the bearings were in my letterbox first thing monday morning.

TENSIONER: NSK 60TB 0732A

$40

IDLER:NSK 56TB 2801 B01

$42

would NSK know what part numbers are for what part? Eg, would they know if they would fit RB20??

Also, Is it possible to buy without the pulleys? As I can use the press at work and save me some money.....

Wonder if they post to melbourne....

Suppose I should just ring them...

A the beraing place, they new that they would have a bearing that fits, but they aren;t listed i the computer system that they fit skylines.

There's no point in getting them without pullies as the bearings are about $55 and $85.

If you try CBC, they have different part numbers for the same bearings, are a little more expensive (not much) and they have the bearings listed as ones for skylines... I think the tensioner is the same as the VL commodore, but the vl doesn't use an idler. (or maybe the other way around) so it's not as easy to find, but it's out there!

Yeah, Either they are good bargainers, or It might be tade price?

I got one of mine from Bearing service center and the other from CBC. CBC where about $10 each more expensive.

Stil, I paid $130-40 ish all up and was happy as the mechanic could only find original nissan Idler and a VL tensioner. At $270 for just the idler - I started searching! Found this thread.

The mechanic actually rang me up a few days later asking for the part numbers and where I got it! They do a lot of imported nissans.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
