It said datsun 240z and datsun 260z in the advertisement..

DATSUN NISSAN 240Z 260Z NEW BRT REAR WHEEL BEARING KIT | eBay

Here's some pictures

My worry is that I read that the outer bearing has an extended inner sleeve

Your bearings look exactly like the ones I had installed last year. The old bearings sit on my desk as I write this, so if you have a specific dimension you are concerned with, I can measure it for you.

I knew I had some rear end noise on the drivers side that prompted the bearing change, but I found out just how bad they were after I washed the grease out of the old bearing. It was so bad, it prompted me to change the passenger side as well. Well worth the cost.

Yeah I'm going to change them, they must be in there for a long time. I allready did the front wheel bearings.

But I am not sure if they are correct, because the add says it's for Datsun 240Z, but like Blue shows above those are different bearings ? But you say they are the same, so I'm confused..

So I'm asking just to be sure, before I take everything apart to find out they don't fit..

Those are for a 77, I could be wrong in posting as the same as 240z

Hi Bart,

The kit you have looks more like a 280ZX rear wheel bearing kit. Thats bad news Im afraid.

Z Partscentre in Zuid-Beijerland stock rear bearing kits for €80 per wheel. That might be your best option.

They use QJZ bearings, I believe they are made in china, but they seem to be good quality.

Like I said in the other thread, manufactures of the outer bearing (GRW117) are getting hard to find. SKF still make them, but at a price.

PS: As far as I know, the 240Z through to 280Z are the same. They changed when they went to the 280ZX (S130) models.

Bart, sorry if I confused you, I mistook Blue's photos as part of yours. My bearings look like Blue's. As for your car, the parts microfiche shows only one bearing set for S30s including 240, 260, and 280. Sorry have no information on 280ZX. It show the inner bearing is PN 43210-E4100 and outer bearing 43215-E4100. In our bearings the inner race protrudes from the side with the fiber seal. The other side of that bearing and both sides of the other bearing exposes the ball cage and has inner race even with the outer race.

Again, we can help if you ask for a specific dimension.

The OD of S30 Bearings is 69.8 mm and ID is 31.74 mm. outer race thickness is 17.4 mm.

Hoi Chas,

Seems the add misled me then, saying it was for a 240z.. ( I think they made a mistake then ) I was doubtful when I saw the bearings. Than I will have to look for the right ones, you allready gave me the numbers
