Pauter's all the way, tad expensive, but sturdy ass hell. before assembling my engine i had them X rayed for micro cracing and machine quality, and the X ray dude was so surpised that he coulndt belive it that these would go in a car engine.

There's a few GT-Rs in Perth (including mine) running Pauter rods and they have all copped and survived a heap of abuse.

This looks like a bearing failure (bearing sized to crank) not a rod,no rod can stand that causing a bolt to break snaping the end of the rod.Note the rod bent a long way before cracking.About 1/2 the rods for sale look like the one in the pic so its hard to say what brand it is.

PAUTER is the best ive used.

thanks for all your help But what exactly is the difference between a billet rod and forged rod? Why are billet so much stronger?
