Did you have to order some kind of custom bearings to fit the nissan outer hub to the bmw inner part? Or was it an off-the-shelf bearing that's not too hard to get a hold of?

You can source almost anything premade like that. Also, Andy, get all those axles!!!!

The R33 hub outer diameter is 43mm, there are different bearings for e36/e46 and i ordered the bearings for the 328i/325tds with an 42mm inner diameter. So i just have to machine the r33 hub, i think 1mm less shouldnt be too bad for the strength of the hub.
