Some nice GTR's here.

Received the main bearings today, it is NDC again but 0.50, made to race spec by me.

How I got it


After I drilled some holes thru them for more oil supply


Installed them and offered up the girdle to check for clearance sizes

tobie looking good.. Does the extra holes work for more oil feed??

Yes, if you look at the Nismo bearings for the RB motors you will see that they run even more holes then I do.

Had the same done on a friend from Namibia's 300WKW GT-R, still going strong after many km, for 3 years now.

DIY nismo bearings^^

Well I always say, if it works, it works, no questions asked! When will you be done Tobie?
