Can anybody confirm 100% that the auto and manual r32 gearbox cross members are different?

It's just that we've got the RB25 in (with rb20 box attached), go to bolt the cross member up, and it appears to be 2cm out to aligning up to the gearbox :D

I was sold an "manual" cross member, but when I looked at it, I remembered that when I got it ages ago it looked 100% the same as the auto. So it was either "well the cross members are the same"... or I've been ripped off by somebody who doesn't know what they are selling :no:

So are they different, or are they not? Anybody have a picture to compare?

Here is the the old auto cross member (which is the same one as in there now).. minus bush

R32 Auto & Manual GB Brackets are the same apart that one says A and one says C with an arrow pointing towards clutch

Mmm not much help to the op as this thread is over 2 years old but for the record.

R32 manual and auto and r33 manual and presumably also r33 auto cross members are basically the same.

The A, B, C stamps on them designate the different setback of the chassis bolt holes relatively to the centre mount holes in 5mm steps.

I'm not sure if the particular letter designates manual or auto or whether they are graded to account for manufacturing discrepancies.

I know it's been said before but a lot of people still seem confused, the difference between the r32 manual and auto cross member bolt up is that the holes in the auto floorpan are 50mm further back than they are in the manual floorpan.

The r33 gtst manual box is a straight boltup into the r32 auto.

Looks like I've tracked one down, along with a couple of other small parts I need, so think I have it sorted.

Thanks for the pictures though - has helped a lot.

Which one did you end up using ? did the same just curious thank you for your time

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
