Ahk, previous owner did the conversion on my car and I got pinged at the pits for the crossmember not bolting up to all 4 holes. It sounds pretty picky but I'd like to fix it anyway regardless of the defect. Just learning now about all the RB crossmembers (A, B and C) and S13 crossmembers as well (also A, B and C).

I have done some research and looks like most people say an SR20 manual crossmember (labeled 'C') fits.

I think when my conversion was done the auto crossmember was used and had flat bar welded to it so all 4 bolts were used

Pretty much what I did for the 25 box conversion but the other way. Used 5mm flatbar to extend the RB20 manual Xmember to pick up all 4 bolts holes (25 box mounts are further back)

Yeah fabricating something to fit is the best bet but I can't weld and don't have any time to take it anywhere haha. I think I'm going to get an S13 one this afternoon and see if it fits.

I haven't quite got my head around it all... I'm not sure if there's A, B and C mounts for EACH car (Skyline and Silvia) or just those 3 mounts that universally are used on both chassis.

Here's a pic (all are facing the same way), seems like I need the top mount.

Sorry to hijack the 32 thread with completely confusing and boring content.

I have the middle one but it sits too far forward. The bottom one is a custom one.

I will go out on a limb and say you have an R32 GTSt MANUAL Xmember.. I had to extend my holes with flatbar because the mounts on the 25t box are 50mm further back than the 20t box.

If it *looked* strong enough I don't see why not..

75PFC with 5mm flatbar extensions for the holes a gusset on each leg and decent welding (read: not dodgy looking) should be fine if you wanted to make one from scratch.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
