LOL. Low to who? Good luck man.

5th gear runs tend to cause detonation in bad setups, and detonation owns rods...

My 240sx blew up the day I removed my speed limiter too (60 miles from home too). Perhaps they should start referring to the speed limiter as the 'rod retainer'

Sorry about your car. I think most of us know the feeling :(

When rods exit the block at high speed its a very unique sound.. Almost like doing a huge burnout in the gravel, god I miss those days ;)

Sorry to hear Pete, put in some OT and save some money. Because forged internals are not cheap.
