Ah...

How about the throttle bodies? Is the GT-R one in place temporarily for fitment purpose?

fstrnldr · 09-22-2010, 10:36 AM

i believe the throttle bodies are the same ... just inverted on the VR engine vs the VQ.

Dont think you will get this info for a hott minute sir. I would like to know also.

SAM@GTM · 09-22-2010, 02:12 PM

Those are the 370Z throttle body in that pic, they bolt right up to the GTR manifold.

Sweet!

I'm guessing the VR38 engine cover can be cut to clear the oil cap. Thanks again for your hard work. I'm definitely looking forward to the next few months to get the VR38 manifold and GTM Stage 1 kit installed.

No sure why you'd want the cover... that's a pretty manifold if you polish or powdercoat it!

JB-370z · 09-22-2010, 06:51 PM

Cannot get over how sexy these things are........I will get the GTR mani. for sure.

bullitt5897 · 09-28-2010, 06:59 PM

Just saw the car today... Omg it's sexy!

Sam told me how much time and effort went into making this work. I think it will all pay off because I know a bunch of people going to get em' when the production model comes into effect and I am one of those people. Thanks Bullitt for being the test subject.

The thing I like anout these is if the silver is too boring for you, you can customize the color, even polish is possible. Not sure if Sam will offer custom options but the mani. is a work of art no matter how you look at it.

Edit: I would love to see a carbon mani. cover on that bad boy

bullitt5897 · 09-28-2010, 08:23 PM

You guys should see the lower manifold!!! It's a work of art!
