To test the wheel bearing, jack up the corner and see if there is any play when you try to rock it with hands on the 12 and 6 o'clock position. Any time I hear a constant noise on the highway, I do this test just to rule it out.
There is no noise at all except at low speeds when turning wheel to right i hear squeaking from breaks. No play in either bearings but that doesn't always mean they arn't bad...

I just don't know..should i go all out and try and fix this so i can keep the car..or sell and find a first gen G without the looks and features i have now...this f'ing blows

I think your best bet would still be to find a member in your area with a set of stockers lying around that you could mount just to see for yourself if it's the wheels.

If you have to replace 1 thing..which would you replace? Breaks? Or bearings? No humming mind you but right rotor is a good 60 deg higher than the other side after driving around. Vibs come and go and also do it in N so i doubt it's trans and i replaced diff fluid 3 months ago..no metal shavings ect. So it's somewhere in the car..i just have no clue what to replace...2 dealrs and 2 tire shops didn't help. Nissan tells me it's wheels and tires..yet MRR's with Hankooks did exact same pattern only worse and used continentals did exact same thing but worse on my stock wheels

So to break it down 1 more time:

-Vibs for 10 seconds then is smooth for about 5-8 seconds and this pattern goes on and on
-starts at about 68mph all the way until about 90mph.
-Vibs in wheel as well as seats (Does it in N as well as D so i doubt it's transmission but who knows)
-right front breaks and hub are much hotter than others (yet nissan said don't worry about temp)
-Wheel shudders in AM when cold when turning right/left but when warm this goes away
-no humming or bearing noise. Does squeak when cold however if turning right NOT left (haven't heard it in a few days however)

ugh

You may be describing different anomalies here so let's just stick to the worst part.

So at 70mph on up, the vibrations will come and go??? Not stay constant?
Vibrations 70+mph is very commonly wheel balance but it does not come and go, come and go with the speed fixed unless the roads are changing. Are you sure the roads you are testing on do not change in surface. Everytime I drive to buffalo, there is a stretch of road that makes me think I have a flat!

Thats the problem..i am describing so many problems it seems that it's hard to find it and is why others can't find the issue as well and yes..its every single stretch of highway

Car has a slight shimmy 40+..not a vibration..but shimmy that you really can't feel

Those indents from the outside? No nothing like that. I do have cupping however but it's not the cause as 2 other sets still do it

those are on the inside shoulder. I suspect one or more components of my suspension is/are going out. lol. gotta go get it checked out. if you have cupping it might be a suspension component and different wheels will still feel the vibration because its dependent on the car.
