As far as the pilot bushing goes (the bronze bushing inside the crankshaft) if
you are replacing that, there is a NISMO part that is an actual roller bearing
instead of a bronze bushing. I don't remember the part number off the top of my
head, and I don't even know if it will fit. when I was working for Nissan I used
this bearing to fix some trucks that would squeal on cold start up.
