This has been running thru my head for a while now as im in the market for a set of rods

these are all the brands ive com across(may have forgotten some) Carillo, Crower, Eagle, Spool, Scat, Par, Spool, Jun, HKS, Trust/Greddy, Nismo, Toga, Manley.

i know theres more brands than these however they're what ive come across looking for RB rods

Baiscally ive been looking around and looked into each and every type of rod there is out there(i think) and ive come across quite a few majority of them being the usual I and H beam and also the bizzare pauter X beam Now with there being a few different styles and designs.. Now that got me thinking what are the Pro's and Con's of each style of rod? another thing that got me is carillo seem to be refering to the I beam style of rod as an A beam and they also have a SA beam which is apprently their medium between there H and A beams maybe its because im tired but why would they be refering to an I beam as an A beam?

one of the rods im really interested to hear if anyone has experience with is the Pauter X beam's as they are definately up there in the topend of the price range. one of the pro's i can see it has is that it would be lighter than the H and I beams but how would this effect its strength and durability overall.. i dont think ive heard of anyone running these in the skyline community before so if anyone here is using them or has used them please post your comments on them weather it was good or bad

im also interested to hear from people who have had a rod fail and what the reason why and how it failed

If money was no concern what style of rod would you run and why and also would you use a different style rod if it was a track dedicated car compared to say a drag dedicated car and if so.. why?

no doubt theres some things ive missed or forgotten to ask but shit happens its 4am and i cant sleep. probaly shouldnt have put the poll in either.. but meh.

Ive used Carillo, eagle, Tomei and a host of other brands, honestly they all work well, for near all of the motors now days that I do (turbo for usuage on track, street and drag) I stick with Eagle H beam, in very high HP SR20's, Rb's, 2jz's (including 3 over 1000hp) I have yet to have an eagle rod fail, imo its bang for your buck. Only time I worry about I-beam is for much higher reving N/A cars.

If money was no concern (which is fairly rare) I would go with Carillo.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
