They are sold for Datsun 1200 (A12), Nissan Sunny B120 (all years) and Nissan Vanette C120/C22 with the A12 engine. They are NOT for B310 A12 Van applications.
Center-to-center length is 121.5 mm and the rods are H-beam style forged from 4340 (EN24) chrome-moly steel.
Big end bore diameter is 48 mm and small end bore (small-end inner diameter) is 17.45 mm. Big-end and small-end widths are not specified in the listing—contact the seller for exact widths if required.
The kit contains 4 connecting rods (one per cylinder for a four-cylinder A12). Genuine 3/8" ARP 2000 rod bolts are included for the set. An upgrade to ARP L19 bolts is available for an extra cost.
Yes — the rods are weight-matched and balanced as a set to +/- 1 gram.
They are forged from 4340 aircraft-grade chrome-moly steel, suitable for high-performance and racing applications when installed and used within their design limits.
Yes. The listing states the bore size must be modified to over 75.5 mm (the seller suggests 76 mm). Have a qualified machinist confirm cylinder/piston clearances and perform any required machining.
No — the listing does not include rod bearings or pistons. You must supply correct-size rod bearings and pistons that match the rod length, wrist-pin diameter and cylinder bore.
Specific torque values are not provided in the listing. Follow ARP's recommended tightening procedure and torque for the included ARP 2000 bolts (or ARP L19 if upgraded), and follow a professional engine builder's installation practices.
ARP fasteners are generally reusable if they have not been stretched or damaged and if they meet ARP's reuse guidelines. Always inspect bolts for damage and consult ARP recommendations or replace bolts during a rebuild if unsure.
Possibly — you must ensure piston wrist-pin diameter, piston compression height and pin location are compatible with the rod's small-end diameter (17.45 mm) and 121.5 mm length. Confirm fitment with your piston supplier or an engine builder.
Yes. Installation requires precise measuring, bearing selection, torqueing to specification, and possibly machining (bore and clearances). Have a qualified machinist or engine builder install them.
H-beam rods typically offer a strong combination of stiffness and strength for high RPM and high-load applications, helping resist bending and buckling under racing conditions.
They are manufactured in China and sold under the maXpeedingrods brand.
Contact the seller/manufacturer for exact big-end and small-end widths, detailed clearances, warranty information, and any vehicle-specific questions before purchase or installation.
