I'm going to be rebuilding a differential for my S13 and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to finding OEM bearings and shims so I can just give the parts to the shop to set the backlash properly.
So far I found these numbers on Ebay from japan I believe, I haven't checked these numbers with my dealer but i'll also need shims. Are these a standard shim that any professional shop would have or does Nissan sell a variety kit to mix and match for backlash adjustment.

The bearings should be easy to figure out. The shims, I used a richmond gear carrier shim kit. I had the large shim and 2 bent thinner shims to work with and they were both in that kit. There was like 15pcs in that kit.
So i would say yes too!
Does Nissan sell a variety kit to mix and match for backlash adjustment?
Just I couldn't pay $40 for 2 shims!

Can you post a link to the shim kit?
I can't find a Richmond Nissan specific kit.
What do you mean 2 bent shims?
In 4 r200 diffs I have taken apart there have always been one thick shim and 2 shims as per pics below, nothing bent about them.
These are the ones I am trying to replace but £40 for 2 here as well :rant:
I am needing 2.0mm/0.0787inch and 2.6mm/0.102inch

I really hate having to do this, but I will....!
I never, ever said the richmond gear carrier shim kit was nissan specific every! If you want OEM nissan you can get that from a DEALER.
The 2 bent shims, :facepalm:
Look at what I typed
I had the large shim and 2 bent thinner shims to work with and they were both in that kit.
That means the shims I had were bent!
And that is why I needed the shims from that kit!
My stupid question for you is, Why do you need the kit if you have all the shims, that aren't damaged?
My stupid question, means rhetorical? please don't answer!
2.0mm/0.0787inch and 2.6mm/0.102inch
2.50mm + 2.10mm =4.6mm

Calm down dear lol
The reference for Nissan specific kit was to make sure that I order a Richmond kit that are the correct ID and OD to fit into a R200 case, regardless weather they are or are not Nissan specific I figured since you have bought and fitted them you could point me to the kit you used.
You replaced them as yours were damaged, ok I get that now, I want to replace them with different sizes to bring the pinion/crown tooth gap back within FSM tolerance by shifting the pumpkin over.

damn it lol.. not the answer I was hoping for!! I've reached out to Richmond and spoke to a cool dude there, he's gonna check and see what would fit our application so if I get a call back I will let everyone know!!
