bubba Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) clearance issues must have something do to with the R32 4 doors.. im having the same problem with my GTR bonnet hitting the front cam gear cover, tryed spacers at the back but doesent help I don't think it's exclusive to 4drs as I have the same problem, I live with it as it's not that bad. Only time it is a problem is when I take my cooler piping off.. can never get it back in the right spot! It either sits the bonnet up further or it pushes the cooler pipe onto the fan shroud and makes horrible noises Just had a thought.. the 5mm flatbar we used to modify the 25 gearbox mount would be changing the angle that the engine sits on as the gearbox is 5mm lower at it's mounting point.. that would probably push the front of the engine up a bit more.. does that make sense?

GTS4GuY Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 space the cross member down 15mm and you'll be fine Hey Mate, whats involved in doing this? just longer bolts and put some washers in between the body and subframe?
