Gearbox Crossmember

[daisu]

Hey people,

As you probably all know by now (i think i say it everytime i start a thread) I'm midway through engine and gearbox conversion.

I've noticed my gearbox crossmember (R32 Manual) doesn't line up too well with the holes on the underside of the car.

According the the D1NZ forum this topic On cefiro conversions (gearbox, engine and 5stud is all covered), they say that the skyline crossmember doesn't fit quite right and you can either modify it (drill 2 extra holes), or use an S13/14 manual crossmember.

But, a mate of mine is on the understanding that R32 and S13 manual crossmembers are exactly the same and that he's mixed and matched them in plenty of conversions.

Can I get some feedback as to what method people have used when doing manual conversions on their cefiro?

Cheers, Luke
