were are u? at four brothers imports in Adelaide had two 4 doors burnt awhile ago and may have a spare cross member look em up. I have never heard that there different though see if you can find a four door and a two door and line them up and stick your head under them both.

I'm about to do this conversion myself.

I'd be very surprised if the coupe and sedan are different but I believe the crossmember mounting points in the auto are different to the manual so I'm expecting to need to make a custom crossmember.

i have done the same conversion.

the crossmember actually didnt bolt straight up, they welded a peice of metal about 6mm thick (maybe thicker) which has a hole drilled into each one to bolt to the chasis.

I'd say it was extended about 75mm.

I can't confirm this but someone posted that you can bolt the r33 manual in the place of the r32 auto.

Has anyone done this?

I've also read here somewhere that you can use an S13 crossmember to bolt up the R33 manual box into an R32 manual.

I don't recall whether it was an auto or manual crossmember.

you need a s14\s15 cross member as the face the opposite direction.
