Carrillo Nissan/Infiniti/Datsun VQ35 Pro-H 3/8 CARR Bolt Connecting Rods

These Carrillo Pro-H connecting rods are built for the 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 and the 2003-2006 Nissan 350Z, specifically for VQ35 engines. If you're looking to build a high-performance VQ35, upgrading the connecting rods is a critical step. The factory rods are a common weak point when you start pushing more power, and these Carrillo rods offer a strong, reliable solution to handle increased stress from forced induction or higher RPMs.

Carrillo is well-known for making robust engine components, and the Pro-H series is a popular choice for serious builds. They feature an H-beam design, which is a strong and efficient shape for connecting rods, balancing strength with weight. These rods come equipped with 3/8" CARR bolts, which are a step up from standard hardware and designed to handle higher clamping loads. The material used is a high-grade steel alloy, chosen for its durability and ability to withstand the intense pressures and temperatures inside a performance engine. This means you can be more confident in the engine's internal strength when you're running it hard.

When installing these rods, it's important to ensure proper balancing of the rotating assembly. This typically involves balancing the crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, and flywheel together to minimize vibration and reduce stress on the engine bearings. You'll also want to follow the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications for the rod bolts precisely. These rods are a solid foundation for a performance VQ35 build, whether you're aiming for a streetable track car or a dedicated drag machine.
