love the pic!!!

I just got it today from a member over at NAGTROC. Next up is the plenum, but there's no hurry since I probably won't pull the FI trigger until sometime late next year.

Much thanks to your project, I'm hoping GTM will make the hardware to get the Stage 1 TT kit working with the VR38 plenum available. Black powder coated intake tubes please!

No polished to match pipes

Haha he should get his gtr mani PC'd the same color as his intake pipes!

DIGItonium · 07-30-2010, 09:02 AM

Haha, good point. I'm not after the bling factor for this project, but more of a stockish look and plain black intake pipes. I messaged another member in the NAGTROC forum for parts. He has a couple of VR38 engines sitting around, so I'm going to try to get the intake collector from him.

Mike, do you know if this project involves swapping for the VR38 lower intake manifold?

Not sure but I don't think so... We need to ask Sam!

Please let me know when you find out from Sam, so I know what else I can get from the VR38 engine. Hopefully you can get some more pictures of your build in progress. Thanks!

FuszNissan · 08-02-2010, 01:32 PM

Is this done yet?....

SPOHN · 08-02-2010, 01:48 PM

I think there holding out to drop the 1000hp thread at once. Then that will free up time for Sam to answer the hundred of questions to come.

KaienZ34 · 08-02-2010, 03:28 PM

Can't wait it'll be kicka$$...

Yea we have alot of work to get done in a VERY short period of time! We have a few other manufacturers stopping by next week to check out the progress of the build and what else they can bring to the build... So the pressure is there and once we get done yeah you guys are gonna be asking questions like a mofo!!!! Lol

NYBladeZ · 08-03-2010, 01:20 PM

Hmmm, if you're going to start adding parts from the VR38 wouldn't it make more sense and cost less to do just a full VR38 build and swap? I don't see how the VR38 plenum would fit and still keep the strut brace on, you might even need a new hood.

Im sure we will see this in the far future from someone. That would be awsome though no joke. But Super expensive

bullitt5897 · 08-03-2010, 01:46 PM

yeah no kidding expensive!

on a side note: AutoPage will be hooking us up with their RS-1100 Alarm system with built in Turbo timer!!! some really neat stuff! I still have to confirm but I believe my Zele Kit has arrived at Bulletproof Automotive (370zTune)
