AKWIKZ Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Anyone here have a line on rod bearings for an R32 RB26. I have called all over and gotten the run-around. RB Motoring is telling me there are five different ones and Superior Nissan appears to be too busy to look into it for me. I need a standard size set of bearings. Nothing special I would think. I have one in hand and here are all the numbers from it: F-780 STD 12111 05U00 Thanks Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Have you not looked in the FSM and seen the different grade bearing shells and the #'s that match them? Its real simple to determine what you need by looking at the #'s stamped on the side of the rod and block for rods, and the crank and block for mains. I was also told by Sean Morris at RB Motoring that they are all so close in spec that you could really use any grade # in any rod or main and still be within spec of your avarage nissan motor. The question is, do you want it to turn out "spot on", or will you accept "close enough"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKWIKZ Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 I saw those on e-bay. Unfortunately I already have the main bearings on the way and really don't want to spend money on another set just to get the rod bearings. All of the reference items I've seen only show one set of bearings (aside from undersize) for all RB26's from '89 and up. This is all regarding aftermarket bearings. Now, you may have misunderstood my post. I am not confused regarding what I am looking for. I'm simply trying to find some place that has them in stock for sale. Along with all the options that RB Motoring mentioned they also said they had none in stock and that it could take up to 3 months to get them.

RB26powered74zcar Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I heard that the SR20 bearings are the same... might want to ask around and see if this is truth or rumor. Good luck in any case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKWIKZ Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 Already checked on that one. They are not the same. Nor are the VG30 ones. Thanks for the suggestion though. I may end up having to buy that combo set and try to sell my other set unless I find something. I'm just waiting on my pistons at the moment, but would like to have all the other items on hand once those show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Have you ever tried shooting those part numbers to Shea @ Nismoparts? I've shot so many random non-US Catalog Part Numbers to him, and he's been very good at getting rare Nissan parts not available here.
