SO... if you've got nothing to say about the wheel bearing issue... 
because your opinion dosen't matter to me.

I find it hard to follow your logic.

I had mine left rear wheel bearing changed under warranty @ 40k miles. I didn't notice a noise, but noticed a little wobble on tined concrete pavement. Thought it was just the summer tires gripping since they were pretty well worn out. I noticed the bad bearing when I replaced the rear brakes.
AutoX, track days and daily driving. I wonder if wider tires are causing the problem.

Crazy how covetted the nismo is to some people...anyway. you guys should look into murano hubs/bearings. I have heard they hold up a bit better and bolt right in. I would search it out.

I remember this thread from about three years ago.
I'm pretty sure Ex2cinaZ has been off the site for a coupld of years too.
My front left bearing started making noise at 30K. I replaced both the front hubs, so I wouldn't have to worry.
