I've read all the bulid articles on Smokey Nagata's VK twin turbo powerd G35 and they all say that he used VG connecting rods and some articles say he used the pistons too. Has anyone else tried this and will it work in the VH motor as well. VK's came in the JDM FUGA/M45 is this the same basically as the VH thais in the Q45/Cedric?

This makes no sense at all. Do you realize the difference in bore between the VG and the VH/VK engines? Also, the VH series is different than the VK series. The VK is the replacement for the VH but not necessarily better.

VG's rods are also 6.080" long, and have a smaller and narrower big end. To use VG rods, you would need pistons with under 1 inch compression height, and that never works.
