Hi everyone,

I recently heard about these bearings.

Does anyone tested/fitted them on his engines?

Any feedback?

Havent heard of toga bearing until now. But you could also have a look at king bearings, they have alot of good reviews and are quite cheap also.

What about OEM Nissan bearings?

Ive never heard of them but I would just look into a set of either ACL's or Clevites like float said. Either can be purchased from frsport.com and they have great prices and they ship fast. Check my build thread, I used ACL's.

oem nissan bearings are a good option because they allow you 6 different "grades" of STD size bearing. is the crank undersize or uncut? If you do decide to go aftermarket, consider having a look at the 'calico' coated bearings.

IDk much about TOGA bearings either, but I've had a horrible experience with the ACL race bearings in the past. I've used Clevites in the early 2000s as well as Top lines. I'm currently using a not-so-popular brand and the car performs flawlessly. Actually put them in immediately after the ACL bearing fiasco and definitely wasn't a "user-error" issuse, either. provide them all with adequate and clean oil and I think they all will get it done. I'm one of the ones that don't mind trying the cheapy-cheap stuff to see if it's good or bad and as long as it's not the turbochargers, I think most stuff is pretty good. Longevity is the key and so far I have over 8K on my engine with those bearings, but the chinese GT35R developed massive thrust wear after 5k, which wasn't bad considering that I run 20+psi daily.
