GT-R R35 Plenum Test Fitment on my VQ37HR

DIGItonium · 04-15-2013, 03:53 PM

No worries. I wouldn't miss the strut bar if a better and track tested one can be fabbed like the one used in the GT-R. Maybe you can fab a "hood window" to show off the bling haha.

Looks like I'll be keeping my GT-R intake collector since no one wants it

the stacks on the runners look like their can be a little shorter(not a machinist)? I remember the DE Z33 guys would rise the strut bar with a thick washer to keep the strut bar after a Motordyne spacer. How much off it the strut bar away from fitting?

Anyone who does this mod know what their geting into....

If the oil cap was an issue that can be cut and rotated towards the front, and most of the wires underneath the manifold can be re routed...

in for more...

I hope for the best

Can't wait for the results

Will you be able to have tooling to make it easier to produce this part?

This is how feel this morning:

(You can swap USA flag for general saluting, but we don't have a saluting face by itself)

ChrisUR · 04-16-2013, 10:28 AM

yes of course we will fabricate a rag so we can easily reproduce the adapter when everything works out !

This looks super sexy in the engine bay, nice work.

Just a thought, but shouldn't those say Z34, not 33? Or are they parts from a 350 instead?

iirc, the Z33 HR parts fit on the 370z(like the intake manifold, exhaust heads, ect.) so if it works on a HR 350z, it technically should work on the 370z

i am not entirely sure though so if i am wrong, someone please correct me

I believe you are correct, I'm just thinking for those who may not know that so they don't get confused.

Because based on that idea, this could technically, potentially, fit on a 350z HR motor as well, correct?

I was just making sure that it wasn't a typo.

^ agreed.

Hoping this works out!

Interesting. I hope the gains are worth the trouble. Subscribed =)

I wonder how much room there is between the hood and the top of the manifold. I know the front brace will need modification to fit, but is there even enough room available?

With the brace out of the way, there's a fair amount of room between the stock manifold and the hood. I'd say probably 2-3 inches.
