You can't just lower the gearbox rear mount or the line of the universals won't be parallel.

Sometimes a CV style joint can cope with misalignment where the same setup using standard universal joints would vibrate terribly.

(I presume the joint on the gearbox is a universal)

Suggest you chat with a driveline specialist.

If you need to lower the gearbox mount you'd be advised to look at lowering the engine mounts as much as you can too. and then probably looking at the height of the centre bearing mount also. That way you minimise the angle in the first place, then mitigate its effect by spreading it between both ends of the tailshaft.

That said....how is this necessary? The VG gearbox is the same basic box as the RB25DET box. I (and many other peeps) have RB25DET box in R32 without problems. Are you transplanting a VG30 into your car? If you are, have you considered giving yourself an uppercut?

I've got a vh41de sitting in there using a 300zx box. the motor is as low as it can sit. I would have thought it would clear the tunnel easily as I did have a 25 motor and box in it before. They are similar but different casings as the shifter setup is different

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
