Apparently different between auto and manual.

I compared mine, both are identical, no re-drilling visible anywhere on either, all mounting holes in the exact same spot.

Discuss.

are you comparing the auto to manual Cefiro x-members? or trying to fit a Silvia or R32 x-member in?

Comparing factory auto Cefiro crossmember, to crossmmeber that was mounting my manual box into the other Ceffy (originally an Auto), but was still under the impression that auto crossmember and manual crossmember were different....looks like same crossmember for either gearbox.

the auto cefiro has mount bolt holes in a different location to the manual, u use a manual s13 one i think or make up adapter plates out of flat bar ($10) drill a hole for the g/b mount and another for the g/b so 2 holes on each bit of flat bar. you may need to chop/ drill a lil section out so your speedo cable input doesn't foul on it.

my adapter plates passed rwc

Auto and manual gearbox crossmembers are the same.

S13 manual crossmember is a perfect fit (for a manual converted cefiro) the only good thing that came from my partner destroying her old 180.. plus the fact she brought a 32.

Sorry to necro an older thread, but I'm trying to figure out whether you need the B-stamped gbox crossmember or the A-stamped one. This website here: (http://www.subituned.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=310629) states the factory manual S13-S15 came with B-stamped crossmembers as their manual ones rather than the A-stamped as earlier suggested in other threads.

      R34 Diff oil

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      99.9% of them are viscous diffs. The 0.01% are helicals. They were only option-able in the series 2, as well. I have redline heavy shockproof in my helical. It seems... fine? I don't think anyone is ever going to know until something really breaks and at that point I'm not sure anyone will blame the oil. I just chose it because it's extremely heavy duty and my car will see not-road-legal duty for it. I've also had sadness with various diff oils in the past sweating out everywhere and/or other 'fun' things, with clutch diffs. Given you have a 1.5 way on the shelf, I'd not even bother with the diff in the car and just get to tinkering with it. I would spend the $90 on oil toward the labor of someone else putting the diff in if time poor even lol.

      R34 Diff oil

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones

      R34 Diff oil

      No. Well, some people "seem to use redline shockproof in the diff". Most do not. I would only contemplate it if you have badly worn CW&P gears. And no. No-one in their right mind has ever put ATF into a diff. Any normal diff/gear oil of the right viscosity will do. Whatever takes your fancy. Castrol, Nulon, Penrite, Redline MT range. Whatever. It's just gears. 75W-90 or 80W-90 is typical. I think that GL-5 is hard to avoid these days, although I think that a GL-4 is probably preferred, given the vintage of the equipment. At least Redline offer a number of GL-4 oils. If you have a clutch type LSD instead of the VLSD, then of course you need a proper LSD oil. Anything from any of the same names above. If you have a helical LSD, then it does not require LSD oil, and the recco is the same as for the VLSD. You don't want the LSD friction modifiers in the oil for a non-clutch type LSD if you can avoid it.

      You may want to list it up for a little higher - This price is much lower than you may realize. Here you're pretty much selling to people who most likely already have these things on their own rigs. S chassis people eat this stuff up like you'd not believe.
