Carillo Connecting Rods: Carrillos's Pro-Super A beam (Pro-SA) rods are lighter than the traditional H-beam style rod, yet still unbelievably strong. Pro-Super A beam rods bridge the gap between Pro-H and standard Pro-A rods, designed for use in mid to high horsepower and high boost turbocharged and supercharged applications. Pro-Super A beam rods allow for more horsepower and higher RPMs with the advantage of a reduced windage design. Pro-Super A beam rods for the 370Z / G37 ship with standard 3/8th inch WMC cap bolts and are rated to 800whp, they are great for cars that see both street and race driving.
The H-beam rod has become the industry standard design for high-performance applications. Considering the best overall performance of the part, combined with the least amount of weight, the H-beam is Carrillo's strongest, most durable design available. Carrillo H-beam rods are recommended for race applications where no compromise in performance is possible. Pro-H rods are available with 3/8th inch cap bolts in either standard WMC or Carrillo specific design which can be retorqued as many times as you want and will not need to be replaced. These rods are for 1000+whp race only machines and are not optimal for street use. Please note:
- Carillo rods are sold in sets of six
- These rods are for the VQ37HR only
Rods also available from:- K1 Technology
- GTM Motorsports

Darton M.I.D Sleeve sets: This kit will allow you to go from a standard bore of 95mm to a max bore of 100mm handling high boost and high compression. The kit is perfect for all applications whether it be full race, turbo, N/A or for those weekend warriors with street/strip cars. This kits shares all the same patent pending designs in the M.I.D. line. George Iannou said it himself " I feel that the VQ35 Nissan engine will be the future of the import drag racing Pro-segment in 2005, its power potential is unmatched." Darton being the leaders in sleeve designs agrees that the VQ35 will play a huge part in racing in the year to come and with this new kit its power potential becomes even better
GTM 4.5L Stroker "Hi-Rev" Billet Crankshaft: This new crank shaft is constructed from the same 4340 chromoly high-tensile steel alloy billet and hardened/tempered for a target tensile range of at least 930-1080 MPa (135,000-157,000 psi), incorporating 0.40% of carbon, proven to provide the highest degree of tensile, compression, and sheering strengths. The 87.0mm stroke affords a major advantage; it can be dropped into an unmodified (i.e. unsleeved) block with no need for longer sleeves (that have to be notched to preserve the oil jets), as is the case with the 90mm stroke crank. In this Hi-Rev iteration of the crank, two key improvements were made: lowered weight and, most notably, optimized oil passages.
GTM 4.5L Stroker Kit: Our stroker upgrade represented the pinnacle of engineering for the VQ35DE platform. From our own internal testing, the components performed flawlessly. The very first GTM 2006 Nissan 350z that received this build achieved 855whp (DJ) at 22psi. See it here. After the first 3000 miles, that engine was removed and completely disassembled for an extremely thorough inspection. There were no issues found whatsoever, and the engine was reassembled. However, we thought of ways of further advancement of the VQ35DE platform, with considerably more demanding road race applications in mind. We present those improvements, and the advantages of the said configuration here.
Specifications:
- GT Motorsports® Hi-Rev Crank :96 mm stroke
- GT Motorsports®-spec Arias®/Wiseco® Stage II FI pistons
- GT Motorsports® Rods
- Bore: 96mm (optionally 100mm bore with Darton MID sleeves)
- Final Displacement (exact): 4.5 L

OS GIKEN Twin Plate Clutch with sprung disc: In spite of its decreased diameter, our clutch allows for extremely efficient power transfer and improved engine response. Our redesigned leverage mechanism of the diaphragm spring on the center cover results in higher pressure of the clutch disk while reducing pedal effort. In addition, ventilation holes are designed to reduce heat generated inside the clutch system and allows for the friction plate dust to exit outside the clutch system, thus increasing reliability and safety. All OS Giken clutches include a corresponding performance flywheel to ensure maximum performance and unlock your vehicle’s potential.
Clutch kits also available from:- Exedy

Exedy Lightweight Forged Chromoly Flywheel: EXEDY Racing Flywheels are made from solid one piece billet chromoly steel forgings. They are specifically designed to reduce weight and inertia for better engine response. Most incorporate special design features to enhance air flow to improve the cooling of the clutch. The ring gear teeth are milled onto the flywheel unlike an aluminum flywheel where the ring gear is pressed onto the flywheel and have the possibility of separating from the flywheel. Some highlights of the Exedy flywheels include:
- Combination of low weight and high heat capacity
- Designed for Rally, Drag and hi-performance Street
- Reduced weight and inertia means snappier throttle response and quicker shifting
- One-piece flywheel - starter teeth machined in place
- Unlike an aluminum flywheel, ring gear can’t separate
- Unlike an aluminum flywheel, friction surface can’t warp
- May be resurfaced for future clutch service
- Tested up to 18,000 rpm without failure
- All EXEDY Chromoly Flywheels are SFI approved
Flywheels also available from:- SPEC
- Fidanza
- Jim Wolf Technologies

OS GIKEN Super Lock LSD: OS Giken utilized its accumulated racing knowledge and engineering experience to develop its own limited slip differential. Four years of extensive research and development lead to a new and revolutionary LSD design with the capacity to house an unprecedented number of friction plates (up to 28 plates in total) and thus the OS Super Lock LSD was born. The increased number of plates directly has not only dramatically improved our LSD design's locking force and enables it to lock fully and completely. An added benefit to being a fully locking mechanism is that less heat is generated, thus resulting in incredible durability and reliability. As always from OS Giken, our LSDs are not only made from the highest quality materials, our precise machining, forged gears, and sound engineering makes our LSDs the most durable and reliable race performance LSDs available. Some highlights of the OS Giken brand differentials are:
- Superior Design
- Miniaturized pressure ring and a superior spline-through-side-gear design allows for fitment of more friction plates (up to 2x as many as competitors versions), offering true 100% lock capability.
- Patented pressure ring design allows for smooth, progressive locking
- LSD case has a relief cut-out for the cone spring, resulting in minimal cone spring degradation and enhanced durability.
- Superior Construction
- All components are chemically heat treated for maximum durability
- All components are constructed from a high-grade steel alloy
- Gears are raw-forged for maximum strength
- Clutch disks are precision-machined simultaneously on both sides to extremely tight tolerances resulting in minimal warpage.
- LSD case is machined from a single billet piece to ensure uniformity.
