I'm rolling over FSM stuff trying to figure this one out.
Most of us know that the Z32 pistons used a slightly bigger piston pin.. the 'common' fix to this is to use z32 rods.
My vg33, as per the FSM, has the same size bushing/pin as the 88t w-series.
New pin bushings for the rods are ~6$ each via nissanparts.cc , a little machine-shop work, and voila, my rods will now work with forged pistons made for a z32.
The downside. The FSM's only list the inner diameters of these parts. I cannot find the sizes of the holes without the bushings installed.. which is what will tell me if this will work or not.
Anybody have a set of both and willing to look/measure if the outer diameter of the pin bushings are the same?
I may have to buy one of each from the dealership and mic it out.
