just what i was told from the photographer from dsport while we were shooting the ****, said there was an issue getting them to function correctly he didnt elaborate and im not familar enough with the VR heads to know why they may not.

A more plausible route might be VHR heads and a VHR ECU. Or HR heads and a stock ECU (as the customer chose). Hell it could be financial reasons on behalf of the customer, I doubt a VR swap is cheap all by itself.

Getting a GTR ECU to play nice with the Z BCM and OEM cluster...that's a ton of work if it's even possible. Two totally different cars.

it is not different than putting the original haltech (stock ecu + piggyback) in a VQ35de or swapping in the LS1 (piggyback stock ecu with gm ecu)
the GTR ecu only needs to control engine functions. The tach might not work, but its no different than an LS swap.
Better yet, run the GTR motor on a Proefi or Syvecs and dont even worry about the gtr ecu.
So i still dont know why they'd mess with running 370z heads when the full GTR package is way superior.

But the question is would it be worth the added cost? How much better to VR heads flow than HR heads? Would the stock rods give out before the heads started limited flow?
Wiring in the GTR ECU especially if it's never been done before would add significant cost to the build. The customer's wallet ultimately decides what happens.
