okay, ive bneen told that 2dr & 4dr r32 share the same gearbox cross member.

so i tried both the auto and manual (which look identical) and none of them line up with the holes on the chassis (it sits too far forward).

its off by like 3-5cm or so.

i went to a wrecker to look for a r32 manual gb xmember and it was the exact same one as ive got..

i checked out elushun's thread

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Di...on-t139916.html

and he used the auto gb xmember and it bolted up fine.

car in question is a r32 4door skyline.

can anyone help me on this and shed some light please?

do i need a customer gearbox mount or modified x-member or something?

im trying a R33 manual one tomorrow as the wrecker is getting it in for me.

appreciate any help or info!

cheers

yeh i had a look at your thread, apparently r33/34 have a manual & auto xmember which are diff but for R32 theyre the same. i just found out just then :)

so somehow i gotta mod the one i have now to make it fit (2 out of 4 holes line up)

any ideas how to mod it?

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
