James,
I also thought there was only 2 inlet manifolds Skyline/Gazelle.I've only ever
owned Skyline ones both had different turbos.I've never seen one with a downturned
throttle body like that one in the bluey.Maybe its been modified that way.I
actually cut and reflanged mine at a different angle when i fitted an XF
throttlebody.
