Love seeing people who pursue what they really want, the best of luck Chris!

This is awesome. Best of luck to you.

Awesome build, good to see someone going for it.

Subscribed! Hope it works out and shows some nice gains.

today we found out a very tricky issue: the lower intake manifold is also used to hold down and bolt on the fuel rails. As the GT-R intake needs to sit higher than the stock manifold you cannot simply make the holes for the fuel rail bolts in the upper flange.

Those 4 holes need to be below the other holes used to bolt on the new upper plenum. So this needs to be designed and cnc'd and makes the whole build much more complicate - perhaps another reason why nobody else has done it yet but we will face and master the challenge - will keep you posted !

GTM's retrofit kit also requires custom fuel rails.

The oil cap is a pain as well. The GT-R valve cover has a simple hole for oil, and a tube attached to clear the intake plenum.

I still have the plenum and engine cover for sale for anyone who want it... I'm opting out since the house stuff is more important after getting the turbo kit installed.

my kit will work with the stock fuel rails and the stock oil cap or aftermarket oil cap like the NISMO I have installed on my car.

we try to keep the whole design and installation effort as simple as possible.

Just to make clear this build is not intended as an offense against GTM - I very appreciate their work and the products they offer and will definitely buy their TT kit very soon.

But after following the thread about the GTR manifold retrofit kit for several months without any significant movement I decided to try on my own.

Chris

im very interested in this, so keep me updated. Any guess on what pricing would be?

Interested as well. In for results. Good luck!

Subbed.

wow, this is seriously impressive work, any idea if this will fit the VQ35HR as well or no? I would be willing to test this product for if you make one for the HR and wants see result of it with GTM stage 2 SC

ChrisUR: Is that a NACA duct in the roof of the car? For a driver ventilation system I'm guessing?

no, sorry thats just the key case I left on the roof ;)

Excited to see where this goes.
