When the anniversary motor was released Jason, or one of the crew at Performance Nissan posted pictures on the my350Z site of the new lower plenum, conrod & piston & I am almost certain that it showed the conrod with studs & nuts. I tried to do a search but was unsuccesfull, maybe someone else could try?

As you can see from the pictures,the rod on the right side is dicolored from the heat and the rod is elongated and egg shaped.A few more seconds and this rod would have snapped and went through the block. Now the rod on the left is out of an 03 model with the 287 hp motor and the rod on the right is from the 05 high rev motor.We can not visually tell the difference in the rods or pistons,so unless Nissan changed the material they used to produce it,the rumor that the 300hp motor is sporting stronger internals is false. We will not make a claim like this without backing it up,that is why I plan on having my engineer take measurments of both rods and give a comparison in the next few days.However upon initial inspections the internals seem to be exactly the same..
