Hello, sory for my bad english, but i need your help,
I am in work to remaking the engine of my r34 gtr, and I have a problem with the bearings
first question, the best bearings is nismo or other brand?
I have seen that there are many colors that coincide with the measurements, but unfortunately I have opened the engine and not on all the bearings you can still see the color,
how do I know which ones I have to mount where I no longer see the colors?
these are the measures I have taken
main bearing color:
1 green 2 ??? 3 ??? 4 ??? 5 maybe gold 6 green 7 green
main bearing dimension:
1 54.96 / 2 54.96 / 3 54.96 / 4 54.95 / 5 54.96 / 6 54.97 / 7 54.96
connecting rod bushings color:
1 ??? 2??? 3 ??? 4green 5green 6green
connecting rod dimenison:
1 47.96 / 2 47.95 / 3 47.97 / 4 47.97 / 5 47.97 / 6 47.97
how do I calculate which ones to order now?
thanks a lot to everyone for the help
i hope to finish soon my car and going in all europe whit my Sky  image.gif.c58bd52e8898da19a0dec6c0b564eb13.gif

Yeah the markings refer to the grades when it left factory. Best to accurately linish the crank for oversize bearings and just buy them at the right clearance. Most common option in Aus is ACL bearings but if you can get factory ones where you are that is an option. No bearing should be meaningfully "better", just get the clearances right

OP I believe RHDJapan has info on the Nismo color-coded bearings...however they are extremely expensive/overpriced. Even oem Nissan bearings per color size are very expensive, when compared to just a set of "Standard 0 size" .

The Nissan workshop manual refers to bearing colors but I only have the r33 manual, not sure where you'd find one for the r34's rb26 specs.

You will note though the tolerance for the different sized bearings is extremely tight...which is good, but I just used a set of Standard-0 rod and mains bearings in previous builds/freshen-ups when no machining work was done, and clearances have been fine.

yes, but i need to order now the correct, i have take the measure

Try to download an engine workshop manual - it gives all the specifications for rebuilding.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
