Are the U13 Aus Spec and attesa the same,
Cause I got quoted ridiculous prices for attesa ones, like $170 fronts $220 rears
but the local ones I could pick up front and rear for $130
I need to do more research but couldnt find listings for attesa bearings any where
-
from my fast database search the part no were the same for the fronts, didnt search the rears. dont quote me on that tho...
-
Where did you get the quotes from Marty?
Don't go to Nissan for the bearings, make sure you go to a bearing specialist like CBC or Gardner's. They will be much cheaper compared to genuine parts.
Doing front and rear bearings on an Attesa will be a pig of a job.... Good luck!

this was supercheap.
I was surprised they even had it on their system, and I could have gotten them that day.
I've helped someone do bearings on my old TRX before, this time I can get hold of a presse so will do it myself.
And yeh it was a bitch to do, massive sockets and extension bars needed.
-
Good stuff. At least you know what you are up against!
That's the worst bit, you need a press......

CAN SUPPLY FRONT ONLY AT $122.65 PLUS GST PER WHEEL.
REAR WE DO NOT BRING INTO AUST,COMPLETE HUB UNIT.
CBC Bearings & Power Transmission
on a side note, isnt illegal to quote prices not including GST, I usually find its dodgy companies that do this
-
Most companies that deal with trade customers quote without gst. Notice they always say 'plus gst' after the price ;)

Its still misleading and bad business practice, although not illegal.
I usually find the companies that do this a bit dodgy,
$135 - easy done.
oh crap, thats per wheel, what a joke. they're sold as a set of two, come on.
CBC bearings No Sale For You!
-
Yeh i got quoted prices for front brakes as individual items and not the set.
Kinda annoying and stupid, but the could be 1 customer that wants 1 disc. why doesnt he buy 2
-
Sorry to hear that Marty. CBC have usually been good to me, especially when buying obscure type bearings for old motorbikes.
Oh well, it was worth a shot i guess?
-
maybe allied or associated?

Bump, Bump the Jam!.
From ABC Bearings
Nissan bluebird U13
· Front wheel bearings $ 55.00 + G.S.T each side ( front wheel bearings are the same as import)
· Rear wheel bearings $ 89.00 + G.S.T each side ( rear wheel bearings differ from import )
Nissan bluebird U13 ( import )
· Rear wheel bearings $ 78.33 + G.S.T each side
So many varied replys to this, apparently the fronts are the same just not the backs
But the backs are cheaper for import, Bonus
-
Ah nice!
Thats weird that the backs are cheaper marty.
-
Just an update
I went to Nissan to get a dizzy cap and rotor and asked about the bearings.
The front bearings are all the same, even same as maxima,
But the rear are different as its AWD and has a different setup.
Getting some from that ABC bearings place, so will put them in next w/e lucky its a long weekend, I think I'm gonna need it
-
Marty,
How'd you go with this, the wheel bearings in the back of mine are screwed, do you have a part no I can use?
