Not sure at the moment. Don't have them in front of me. There the same ones for the GTR. Think it's DILKAR8A8 (93026).

No idea if this is what Sam referred too but in his pre-release thread, he mentioned that the steering coupler is untouched. Not sure if he means the same thing as the steering knuckle.

I'm not positive but what I think he may be applying is that it will not be modified or changed any form or fashion like his other kits And not the removal of the stock manifold in which it is in the way. It's just a lot easier when removed.

Everyone getting this kit, also getting colder spark plugs or sticking with the stock plugs? Would colder plugs be much more beneficial?

Sam/Mike,

After having this kit installed, are there any precautions we need to take with regards to bringing our cars to the dealer for any routine maintenance? I'm sure we'll have to remind them that there's a high capacity oil pan in place so that they don't underfill it during an oil change. Or tell them not to touch the tune (to keep them from flashing it back to stock). Any other pointers?
