R32 Wheel Bearing Interchangeability

[hvp014]

Just bought my R32 GTR over here in Japan, but it needs a left rear wheel bearing.

The Nissan one runs around $300 and they gave me part number 43281-AA300. I was reading up on the late model 300zxTT being the same. It's part number is 43281-AA100. They're going on eBay for about 50 bucks compared to the $300 ones. Some sites show it WILL swap and some sites show it will NOT swap. Just want to know before I drop the cash and thenwait a few weeks for it to get here.

I can't answer that, but hopefully Tyndago will drop in and take care of that answer for ya.

I can't say I have replaced many rear wheel bearings. Some front's as that is normally where you have issues.

Lots of parts are the same/similar, but might have a different load capacity, or...

Just make sure the 300ZX part isn't an NA part, that its for the TT car.

Sorry I don't have a real solid answer. I would have to see each bearing to see if it was possible. I know the R32 pretty well, but I don't see that many 300ZX parts.

Did some more research. The first bearing is an NA bearing. The 2nd bearing is GT-R and also 300ZX TT. Yes it is that much more expensive for the TT bearing.

If you google - 43281-AA300 you will get your answer.

Tyndago, your advice is spot on, I was searching bearing interchangeability, when I should of just searched the bearing part number. It IS the same as the 300zx TT but its equally expensive. Either way, thank you! Now to find the best deal


*edit* Autozone had a timken bearing for 200 and found a coupon code for 20% off orders over a hundred bucks, came out to be $167 shipped!

Just to update this, the Bearing was the correct style, but was a bit too small. So the 300ZX Timken Bearing did NOT work, at least on my 89 R32. I now have the car at the hobby shop in pieces, haha and had to suck it up and get the $370 Nissan bearing from Naha. Ill report back when its all together and see what part number they give me.

Sorry to bring up am old thread. But is there an interchange for the front wheel bearing? That is proving to be quite pesky to find for sale for my bnr32.
any help is appreciated

I don't own a GTR per say, but my car is technically full GTR when it comes to the powertrain, drivetrain, and suspension. My front hubs originally got sand all in the bearings because I was an idiot doing open sand blasting while the axle was out. I went through some of my old pictures and saw one of beck arnley packages for the wheel seals (2x per side - 4 total for the front) and front/rear wheel bearings. I cant find my old notes, but I remember researching measurements of the bearings and seals I pulled out of my GTR hubs. I am pretty much positive my fronts were purchased in reference to a 96' Altima for the bearings and 4 seals. The rear was purchased in reference to a 96' 300ZX Twin Turbo (must be turbo not NA). All of my wheel bearings are "Beck Arnley" brand from Rock Auto.

The OE BNR32 front wheel bearing part number is 40210-05U00 and does indeed cross reference with a Bluebird (Altima). Hope this helps.
