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.

    • The boot notch on the GK Tech rods is different to OEM yes. You'll find a solution. They are a good rod, I have used many of them for various setups, and no they are not ' just for drift cars', they are fine as an OEM replacement. Same goes for the tie rod ends although I found they transmitted a huge amount of NVH a normal balljoint masks, making it feel like there was something loose or knocking, even though there wasn't. If you used the same pieces on each side, no reason one angle should be different to the other side. Have you checked ride heights/measured the angles? Or just visual? Your alignment will be massively out of whack yes. Up to you; it is worth taking the time to learn wheel alignments and do it yourself. I have never had better wheel alignments and I haven't taken my car to a shop for, dunno...many many years. Spend a few hundred on equipment, do alot of research via online articles, youtube vids, and "trial and error" on setups. Eg, set it with too much toe-out, toe-in, too much or little caster, drive the same stretch of awesome twisty mountain road each time, learn how they feel and how the car's handling has reacted to your changes.
    • Won’t be hard to beat them. 🤣 Farken sponge cakes!
    • Nah I did not will have to another time. I only installed a blitz return flow FMIC probably 1000kms ago. When I took the old piping off there was basically no oil in piping. At this stage it has to be valve stem seals. When I roll down a big hill in gear and then throttle down the bottom, I get the same puff of smoke.
    • I believe when they added coolant to cool the turbo it negated the need for turbo timers as water continues to flow even when the engine is shut off I forget the actual terminology, I'll just say the coolant "percolates" through the turbo which stops the oil cooking itself to death  Well....that's how I see it, as all the plant at work that has coolant lines to the turbo can be shut down straight away, whereas the older plant with only oil feed to the turbo you need to idle it for a few minutes
