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,

Mitch.

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.

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

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
