Message	Helped another Amateur Z member work on his 2012 GTR this weekend. We changed out injectors, and while we had the plenum off, I had another 300ZX plenum laying around. We took a few comparison shots: Half the weight, about a third smaller, integrated balance tube bolted to the rear: Removal and replacement were a piece of cake. No PCV ports or water lines at all, just vacuum lines and some ground lugs. Took 1/2 hour to pull. Much bigger throttle bodies, smaller side chambers with shorter cross flow runners: runner ports smaller than the Z, runners thicker:
