I'm fixing a z i bought a couple of months ago with a rod knock and i need to replace the rod that had the spun bearing.
Where would be the best place to get just one stock rod? Nissan has one but its $192 and my dad found a website called rpmrons.com that has one for $77 but i've never heard of the place.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Another thing you can always check out is the classified section, Twinturbo.net, projectz32.com, and this sight, let people know what you are looking for. Im sure you can get a replacement cheaper or even for free.

Call Kyle at IPP. He has TONS of OEM rods laying around. Also probably Z1, EP Racing, Houston Z Auto, etc, whomever does engine rebuilds is going to have tons of spares for people that did the same thing and/or upgraded their rods.

$35 for a good used rod, there's absolutely no need to buy a new one.
