Yes, as long as he gives Nissan the numbers off the crank and block.
Although i would recommend that you give your machine shop a copy of the service manual that deals with engine assembly/dissassembly.

Rod to crank clearance is .0013 - .0023 limit is .0028
The rod bearing selection table is easy....there are only 3. The main bearing is much more complicated like I noted in an earlier post.
