was that using a 26 intake ??

I was trying to avoid spacing the subframe down so as not to effect my roll centre

I can't see how you would fit a 26/30 combo into an r32 of any kind unless you used an rb26 style front-facing plenum (or why you'd want to run anything but the front-facing plenum).

With the GTRs, the main issue that affects the engine mounts is having enough clearance between the big alloy sump and the power steering lines.

I imagine that in rear wheel drive configuration, the fact that your sump is a bit of tin could make it possible to mod the sump to allow more X-member clearance, and mod the mounts to drop the motor.

In terms of the timing belt cover clearance issue, apparently there is some way of fitting the rb25 cam covers and timing belt cover to the rb26 head etc, that gives more clearance.

Once that's done, there's the issue of the twin turbo turbo collector pipe. I got a bit of clearance by grinding off the alloy mounting boss, but still needed to run 20mm spacers in my bonnet hinges.

or just custom make the mounts so the sump is as low as it can sit on the steering colum then work out if you still need to cut the bonnet.

my Rb2630 went into the s14 with no bonnet/ hinges mods. it has a dry sump on it and the sump is 4mm off hitting the steering colum,

and we had to solid mount the motor to ensure no twisting..

Thanks but i have a gtr bonnet already. Im going to look at running fd mazda rx7 mounts as they lower the engine

Just use the R32GTSt (RB20DET) engine mounts and redrill the holes lower as per the pdf guide, that should get rid of most of the clearance issues and all that might need attention is the "twinturbo" pipe.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
