Nitto V2 I-Beam Connecting Rods - Nissan RB25DET / RB26DETT - Skyline / Skyline GT-R (R32 / R33 / R34) / Stagea (WC34)
A set of six of Nitto's flagship V2 steel connecting rods for the Nissan RB26DETT and RB25DET in R32 to R34 Skylines. The V2 is the rod for serious drag and time attack builds, with extra material in the beam and an upgraded pin bush.
Choose the big end to suit your crankshaft. The standard journal rod uses 3/8" ARP 2000 bolts and fits a standard-size rod journal (RB25 and RB26). The wide journal rod is listed for the RB26, uses a wider, larger-diameter big-end bearing with 7/16" ARP 2000 bolts, and needs a Nitto wide-journal crankshaft. Both are 121.5 mm long.
Note: Installation by a professional is recommended. Engine internals must be measured and set up by a qualified engine builder.
Features
- Double-melted 4340 billet steel, one-piece forging, X-ray and sonic grade tested
