Where to get bearings for a RB26

My brother lives in Germany and recently had an R32 Skyline shipped to him from Japan. The car arrived and had a knock, it was a rod bearing and the oil was thin as water. Anyways, we tore it apart when I visited him and he is going to get the crank machined so he needs some rod bearings. Anybody know someplace to get some (undersized?) rod bearings? Thanks.

I did at least find their website. What is not clear if this is similar to Swain coatings or just some proprietary coating. Either way, not really sure if its worth extra money or not...

In addition, I'm trying to figure out if I need "standard" bearings or the specific sized ones... Still looking...

So I checked out his auction - but was confused by the coating he's talking about. Anyone have any idea what a "Calico Coated" bearing is? I hadn't heard of that before.

Calico is a coating, like Swain. Calico is VERY heavy into Nascar and Circle Track racing. They will coat damn nead anything that you want. The bearings in the auction above, are ACL bearings, that have been coated by Calico. Probably the best you can get for the money.
