Message I’m not sure what you plan on doing, but here’s what I would do if I were you.

Wiseco pistons
Eagle rods (they come with the ARP bolts)
ARP head and main stud kit
OEM Nissan engine gasket kit
OEM Nissan rod and main bearings

***For the bearings you will need to order the correct grade # based on the rod and main journal measurements. If you take the crank to US Automotive they will measure the journals for you on the spot so you can get the bearings ordered (I have never met anyone who can read a micrometer as fast as Jeff). Here is the information you will need to determine the correct bearing grade:

Main Journal Diameter
Grade No. 0 (2.4790-2.4793)
Grade No. 1 (2.4787-2.4790)
Grade No. 2 (2.4784-2.4787)

Rod Journal Diameter
Grade No 0 (1.9672-1.8675)
Grade No 1 (1.9670-1.9672)
Grade No 2 (1.9667-1.9670)

Beware: The old man at the front desk will tell you to get the crank turned and get Topline bearings. If you tell him that it’s a bad idea he’s gonna get pissed off at you and tell you that this is BS. Whatever you do, do NOT get the crank turned and do not use non-OEM bearings. I would also highly recommend using OEM gaskets and the OEM 120K timing belt kit.

Before you buy the rods, talk to Jeff to find out how much he can get them for. He told me that he can meet or beat anyone’s price on the Eagle rods (they are an Eagle distributor), and probably be able to get you a good deal on the pistons (I had already bought everything when I went there so I didn’t ask him for prices). As for the crank, you should just get the journals polished.

That’s all I can think of right now. I hope this helps.
