hey guys almost done with my 25 swap into my r32. ran into a pickle however i mounted my gearbox to the crossmember and bolted it up lastnight, to find that the gearbox is on the piss to the right. 2nd gear hits the shifter cutout in the tunnel and i can not get 4th 5th or resverse.

i will add my car is a gts4 and its converted to rwd, some may wounder why i would carry out a swap like that, well its what i had at the time and didnt have any other options :blush:

any advice will be much apreciated

tony

did you change over teh front subframe?

nope but i dont think it matters?? my engine mounts went strait to the 25. i have a funny fealing my order for new engine mmounts was f**ked up, i go nismo engine mounts off ebay but both have B stamped on them. is it possible they gave me 2 left mounts or vise versa?

It certainly sounds like it.

I can't remember if rb's are the same but on sr mounts the studs are offset about 10mm from each other when looking at them side on. So if they are the same, one engine mount is out by 20mm and it would easily push the box over as you've described.

well sometime in the week were gunna try lift the motor and gett it in a better home. on the subframe were the engine mounts bolt in theres channels for them to slide up and down. mabey we got it on the piss like one side is to high? if all else fails im lookin into those mounts.

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
