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

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
