About this part

Product Details

Manley Performance is well-known for building serious engine components, and their "Platinum Series" pistons are a prime example of that dedication. If you're looking to rebuild or upgrade the engine in your 2003-2007 Nissan 350Z, Maxima, or similar VQ35DE-powered vehicle, these 81.4mm stroker pistons are designed to handle the demands of a performance build. They feature a dish volume that results in a compression ratio of 8.5:1, making them a solid choice for forced induction applications or higher-octane naturally aspirated builds.

These pistons are forged from domestic 2618 alloy, a material chosen for its exceptional strength and durability under high stress. Manley also incorporates proven cam and barrel skirt profiles, which help reduce friction and wear on your cylinder walls while still allowing the piston to generate substantial power. The ring lands and grooves are machined to exacting standards, which is crucial for achieving a tight seal and maximizing combustion efficiency. Each set includes premium chrome moly wrist pins for added strength, and Manley's unique fixturing process ensures the ring grooves are perfectly square to the piston skirt for optimal performance.

This set is designed to fit a wide range of Nissan and Infiniti vehicles from the early 2000s, including popular models like the 350Z, G35, and Altima. While these pistons are built for performance, please note they are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It's always a good idea to consult with your engine builder to ensure these pistons align with your specific build goals and to confirm any other components you might need for your engine assembly.
