i am going to install my new skunk2 manifold tommorrow morning but i have one quick question if anybody has the time. i downloaded some install instructions from off the net and in it the author mentions that not only must i replace my throttle cable and bracket with an itr version but i must also change the throttle pulley. i already bought the cable and bracket but i never bought a pulley because this is the first time i've ever heard such a thing. i was just wondering the validity of that. can i get by with just the cable and bracket or do i also need the pulley that the cable attaches to? thanks everyone.

It's true, the GS-R pully pulls the opposite way as the ITR or b16a ones. One pulls from the top, and the other pulls from the bottom (I forget which), but my friend and I ran into that problem about a month ago using a Blox IM on a b18c1.

Even though you have a GSR, you can still use the stock GSR throttle body, and GSR throttle cable. Just bolt the throttle body up on the new manifold, and route the cable the same way.

I was wondering if you could do that, seems (obviously) a lot easier and logical that it would work. Of course we didn't have a choice with the swap we did, because the customer wanted it done the way he wanted it done.
