Manley now has their H-Beam Connecting Rods available for Nissan RB applications.

They come in 2 flavours. Standard H and H-Plus.

The Standard H Rods have ARP2000 fasteners, the H-Plus feature ARP Custom Age 625+ fasteners for added strength.

Cost currently seems to be right inline with Eagle Rods, in an attempt to get some of your 'budget' rebuild dollars.
The ARP 625+ fastener upgrade is about $400 USD more (approx $35/rob bolt x 12).

I would buy these over Eagles. Manley have a long history in USDM Hotrodding and many cars out there using their rods.

I personally own:
- Manley Pro Series I-Beam Rods.
- Manley Valve Springs, Ti retainers, Locks.
- Manley Oversized +1mm Pro Series SS Int & Ex Valves.

Their prices are fair. Their product is top quality.

Those look pretty nice. my knowledge on rod design is limited but I do like what they did on the big end.

The option of 625 fasteners is nice but I wonder if the rod would break before them or not.

I just ordered ARP 3.5 Fasteners for my Turbo Tuffs........
