Yes had the same problem. I used an R33 clutch master cylinder as it is a shorter item. I used standard R32 mounts and brackets albeit modified brackets to allow the motor to sit lower.

I've got the same setup as yours (rb30/25 into an r32) and I had the exact same problem (clutch master cylinder being too long). After weeks of thinking about what to do, my mechanic finally decided to instead just trim the back edge off the plenum. Fits perfectly now... The new turbo however (GT35R) only slightly scrapes the strut tower. I only wish I knew about the r33 master cylinder earlier otherwise I wouldn't have had to cut up the new plenum.

+1 on both those accounts

I got an R33 clutch master cylinder as I thought my custom plenum was going to hit it, turned out it was fine.

I also used known R32 RB20 brackets and brand new R32 RB20 engine mounts. I redrilled the holes in the bracket to drop the engine down some.

I then had to get 6boost to do me a slightly different exhaust manifold as the turbo (GT35R) hit the strut tower.

thx for the info.. i get home n only hr left of day light so didnt really get to sus it out but r33 slave cylinder looks like the go!! i be lookin into that,,, and i got pasanger side engine mount and bracket on (rb20 bracket and rb30 mount- same as me rb25 in 32 setup).. have to look into other side tmrow arv, fingers crossed cause i was goin to get one made custom to suit from extreme engineering near archi airport, ever want sum pipes or anything at that matter see him!! he can weld a coke can lol

with turbo.. i turned it upside down -- me dumb dumb haah should of thought of that but had to take off power steer fluid bracket off and still f*k all room, just nuf for hose and clamp i rekon..

anyone got any other problems they had i would be more then happy to hear about them try save me sum time...

i still need to wire up me microtech Lt12 its wired to harness but still need to cut injector plugs off to suit me delphi rochester 870 injectors so bosch style plugs.. so much to do so lil time.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
