Hello everyone,

I've got a stock '96 skyline gtst and i'm about to rebuilt to engine. Was wondering where i could find the main bearing and connector rod bearing sizes. The store where i'm gonna buy it from says to look in the car manual but my japanese suck, cant find it in there. He was saying that the rb25det has 3 types of bearing grades.

Anyone knows where i can find this info for my engine? I wanna order the parts before i pull the engine out so i can work on it asap to get the car going again.

Thanks in advance for the help

I would wait till you have the engine apart and measure the crank journals - if they have worn too much you wont be able to use it and or the bearings you buy may not be right...

Sometimes it pays to wait.

Same applies to piston sizes - if the borea are worn and require work the pistons may be the wrong size...

Thanks for the reply Sheriff Wan.

Guess i'll start ordering the gasket set, timing belt ect ect atm and than pull the engine apart.

The thing is i keep hearing a ticking noice in the engine thats driving me crazy, when i went to do a compression test cyl 4 was giving a low compression. Thats the reason why i'm rebuilding. But the car seems to be running great though, i can get up to 160+ km/h without hesitating. I got no blue/white/black smoke comming from the exhaust or engine, got no leaks either so i'm kinda clueless on what the problem could be. Have to open it up to figure out what the problem could be.

But this gives me a great opportunity to modify the car :P

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
