Can anybody confirm 100% that the auto and manual r32 gearbox cross members are different?

It's just that we've got the RB25 in (with rb20 box attached), go to bolt the cross member up, and it appears to be 2cm out to aligning up to the gearbox :D

I was sold an "manual" cross member, but when I looked at it, I remembered that when I got it ages ago it looked 100% the same as the auto. So it was either "well the cross members are the same"... or I've been ripped off by somebody who doesn't know what they are selling :no:

So are they different, or are they not? Anybody have a picture to compare?

Here is the the old auto cross member (which is the same one as in there now).. minus bush

R32 Auto & Manual GB Brackets are the same apart that one says A and one says C with an arrow pointing towards clutch

Mmm not much help to the op as this thread is over 2 years old but for the record.

R32 manual and auto and r33 manual and presumably also r33 auto cross members are basically the same.

The A, B, C stamps on them designate the different setback of the chassis bolt holes relatively to the centre mount holes in 5mm steps.

I'm not sure if the particular letter designates manual or auto or whether they are graded to account for manufacturing discrepancies.

I know it's been said before but a lot of people still seem confused, the difference between the r32 manual and auto cross member bolt up is that the holes in the auto floorpan are 50mm further back than they are in the manual floorpan.

The r33 gtst manual box is a straight boltup into the r32 auto.

Looks like I've tracked one down, along with a couple of other small parts I need, so think I have it sorted.

Thanks for the pictures though - has helped a lot.

Which one did you end up using ? did the same just curious thank you for your time

      R34 GTT air noise?

      By JC71 · Posted

      I will go over it again, a leak would make the most sense and also explain why I have a high idle issue if I plug the iacv in...I have had everything off, inspected, and replaced every coupler and hose in question, new clamps, reinstalled and basically soaked the entire system with soapy water and find nothing... could there possible be an issue with the wastegate rusted open?? from sitting so long? again the air sound literally sounds like a 3 inch open pipe blowing or sucking air, not just a small passage, very strange.   do appreciate the help

      Boost leak or exhaust leak. Boost could be from anywhere, including manifold/plenum gaskets. Exhaust is frequently head to manifold gasket or from manifold to turbo gasket. Often caused by missing nuts or broken studs.

      Wheel offset has me confused.

      Check for spacers on the front, in case they've been pushed out a little to try to match he rears better.

      I should clarify that the previous owner put the wheels on, so Im not entirely sure what he bought. I was searching the Rota page and found these two as the only matches. It did not occur to me that perhaps they sell these wheels with different offsets. I guess the best way to solve this is to take the wheels off and measure them from the inside to be sure.

      The offset doesn't really have anything to do with dish directly. I mean it kind of does but it also doesn't, it's only tangenial. The offset is purely how much offset (get it) the mounting face is from the CENTER of the width of the rim. I.e, the mounting face would be directly in the middle of the 9.5inches if it was a 18x9.5 ET0 rim. Given it is a +12 rim, the mounting face is 12mm further away from the center (to the outside of the car). Your fronts are +30, so the mounting face is 30mm further away from the center (to the outside of the car). I would wager this doesn't look right, because most skylines generally have the same with guards front to back. So I'd think your fronts look significantly more sunken in than your rears. I'd wager by about 18mm, or so.
