GT-R R35 Plenum Test Fitment on my VQ37HR

Noob questions, if you officially released the adapter to fit OEM GTR intake manifold, does that mean we can use their aftermarket manifolds as well??

I would say no guarantee on fitment because the adapter height is optimized with the OEM VR38 intake collector for alignment, overall height, and fitment of custom fuel rails (required).

it looks like we found a way to keep the stock fuel rails so the upgrade gets more affordable and less complicated. You can of course use different rails, but its not a must anymore !

the oil cap now clears nicely so no new cap is needed !

as the upper flange is made to fit the GT-R manifold you should be able to use every aftermarket plenum like Greddy, Boostlogic, etc. unless its a lot higher.

Currently the only real issue we are facing is that the strut bar doesnt fit over the plenum anymore so we need to fabricate/modify it.
