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?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
