Hey everyone. Just ordered in a type R throttle cable and bracket to mount on my Skunk2 manifold on my 95 GSR.

Only problem is, the throttle rotor (you know, the thing the cable hooks into) is reversed, mirror image on the GSR vs the Type R/LS type manifolds. Obviously, the folks at Skunk2/Group A motorsports never actually did this install cause it doesn't seem to fit on this way. I called them today and quite honestly, they were clueless to this fact. I'm there standing in front of my motor looking at the helm manual thinking I was going crazy. But, on the GSR the cable wraps around from the top and the Type R it comes across the manifold to the bottom and up around the the other side to the front of the throttle body. There does not seem to be a way to slip off the throttle rotor without the spring popping off.

Does anyone have a clue as to what I'm talkin about!! Am I the only one who is actually trying to do this?? I can't believe that would be true.

Please give me a clue on how to mount this or do I have to go out and buy a Type R throttle body???

You need to change the linkage to an LS style.

 

can the linkage itself be switched out? Seems the spring is awefully tight on there, I would hate to decompress it and not be able to reassemble the thing

 

if i remember correctly, reusing the gsr setup shold clear the hood.

 

come on,,,read my posts. I already had everything set up with the stock. It looks like crap. I got the Type R parts to clean things up not realizing there is no way it will fit on the GSR throttle body. I figured the guys who made the thing were not going to be wrong.
