    Yeah cause I'm sure the CNC machines programed to make the rods really give a shit which country they are working in :roll:
    No, but the operators of the CNC machines probably care which country they are working in. Chinese parts are 90% of the time inferior in quality to parts made in a non-communist country.
    86 hardtop shell, 93 SC300 engine, 95 soarer bellhousing, 91 supra transmission, 95 Q45 differential hubs and driver's side axle, 1992 300ZX turbo driver side axle and calipers, 2004 350Z Rotors, 87 300ZX front end/hood, 1999 Viper radiator, 1992 Mustang throttle body. Lots of glue and tape to keep it all together.

    looks like the scat rods actually have a bushing up top. Kinda nice.

    Terrible idea putting those wheels on…

    If its on ebay for cheap, its likely a knock off. Some of the knock off are not bad though. I'll still pay extra for a quality product made elsewhere, as the qc in china is usually much lower.

    The link to that other forum suggests that even the arp bolts were knock offs.

    from link:
    "Weight Tolerance: 2 grams / PC"

    so is this stating the possible + or - in weight of each rod, if so it seems like alot to me

    So then are you telling me that the rods than pass quality control could actually be fucked up because the china man pushed the button to start the CNC machine incorrectly? Cmon man get a clue. :roll: They are all the same. Belive it or not I dont really care.

    I could see it being a big deal if the parts were hand made. Then AND ONLY then your statement makes sence.
