Hi guys helping a mate out with a conversion, we are putting a 5 speed rb20det in his nasp auto r32, now the motor and gearbox went in fine but the gearbox cross member is about 1inch out on both sides, has anyone else experienced this problem?

Id say that would be due to the auto and manual cross members being different however i dont know if this is correct. Can you get a hold of a cross member of a r32 running a manual trans?

We tried both cross members from auto and manual, they are the same and both dont line up??

here is a couple of things i have heard about you can do. you need a crossmember from a gxi skyline or s13. or just slot the mounts on the crossmember. or turn the mount around and drill new holes

after converting my cefiro i learnt that there are three types of manual nissan crossmembers, marked with either A, B or C. A & B has forward arching mounts, C has backward. I needed a C for my car, going from auto to manual. Nissan used different floorpans between the auto & manual versions of their cars, so a manual crossmember from the same car might not fit. Hope this helps :P

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.

      You need to buy a Saab Matt, ours had a button that turned all the dash lights off. Any decent aftermarket dash has sufficient brightness control and a headlight input for day/night settings. None of which probably helps OP

      Yeah thanks...i thought it would be alot more i dont know 馃槃 I saw some videos on converting push/pull and it seems you need to "drill" the hole for slave(master) cylinder and buy some converter kit. On that front yoke clip i did not even know that is a thing and i need to source that(custom shops do not do that?) But anyway thank you for the info
