Those rods would be around the 700 mark with arp bolts in them. I have used both standard GTR rods with bolts in my 26 and eagle rods in some SR20s, no issues with the eagles with 162 hp per rod.

Hey Paul,

Are you saying the standard rods are as strong as the eagles ? or its just not worth it unless your going to use something japanese ?

Cheers,

i wouldnd go that far, here is a Supra on E85 putting down 1147 rwhp/822lbs/ft(1115Nm) @ 2.8 bar boost with eagle rods

on that day they did about 50 pulls. 30 of them were in the 1000whp+ area.

by the time you buy arp bolts +shipping have your rods prepped balnced shot peened and what ever else you need to do they cost the same if not more than the eagle rods also eagle rods come with arp bolts the only way stock rods would be better is if you can do all the mods to them yourself im not saying stock rods are crap either but for the normal joe out there the eagle rods are a worthy investment and shouldnt be looked past

prepped rods are less than 1/2 the price of eagles...are i beam and dont split up the centre like most of the chinese rods do.

if your going to buy forged rods buy real ones like Nitto, Argo, Carillo etc.

having 1st hand had experience with most of the leading brand rods available id have to say the Nitto's would be the best way to spend your hard earned with Argo a close second.

not everyone has 2g to spend on rods alone and you can get your stock rods all done for less than 300 dollars inc arp bolts thats pretty good price

hmm i disagree that eagles are garbage.

why would they waste their time making aftermarket ones if it is going to be garbage compared to standard ones?

i understand if you're talking about chinese rods, but i still think they would be better than standard rods.

there are lots of products produced for these and many other cars that have little or no gain.

i am talking about chinese rods...where do you think eagles come from?...lol

      Nismo copper mix twin “pull” pedal height engagement

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I don't how much the car makes a difference or whether it is just a question of gearbox and clutch. On mine it's fine. Pull type Nismo coppermix twin (standard, not competition) on the 5 speed in my Stagea. OEM slave cylinder. Bite point is a few cm off the very bottom of the pedal. Clutch pedal all the way down to put in gear, and when heading off at the lights, there's a tiny bit of nothing and then it starts biting. And fully engaged before the pedal is all the way released. There's a bit of play at the top where the pedal does nothing anymore. Are you in Australia @ck_chino? If you are set on using a Nismo slave cylinder I have one new-in-box at home. Ordered it together with the clutch but didn't get it fitted. We can work something out if you want it

      Nismo copper mix twin “pull” pedal height engagement

      By Butters · Posted

      I am using a pull nismo coppermix twin in an r34 getrag box, had both the standard slave and  then the nismo one. Adjusted pedal to get bite point how I wanted , it is on the higher side, but would fully disengage past half way down.  I also read that the nismo slave won't work but I had no issues with the stroke, might become one later as clutch wears but 2+ years of happy motoring so far.  Take the above as one input only, specially as my setup is a bit unique in that I am using an S15 clutch master , cefiro clutch pedal, custom braided clutch line. Lots of variables at play.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Oh for sure, I'm just recounting my thoughts 😎 I'm not what you've got there to fuzt with.... likely my first idea was on the money -- rebuild or replace connectors. You can get a lot of connector stuff here  -> https://www.rapidcables.com.au/ Didn't look in the boot of mine, because I replaced these when I renewed the pump (plastic of connectors had gone brittle) edit: what I used... https://www.efihardware.com/products/2120/Deutsch-DTM-Connector-Kit-6-Pin ...cheaper... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364900039138

      In no way was i suggesting it’s your fault mate. The trailer cable has a plug that I removed. I will have a closer look, but I did remove the trailer wiring cable with the tow ball as I don’t need it on my silo. i have replaced the fuel pump already there’s no need to remove the cradle again I can see the wire colours from it in.
