Re: Crossmember, if the position of the engine is lower, did you also modify the transmission mounts and rear diff? I would suspect that it would change the whole geometry?
How did it go, is it done yet?
What diff are you using? I currently have a problem fitting an R32 Shortnose R200, lots of stuff has to be fabricated and changed, there aren't that many R200's around though, so that's the one I could get a hold of. Do you have any ideas regarding this? or Anyone?
Thanks,

I have not modified the diff or the tranny mount. I think thatt once the motor is lowered it will be in proper allignment from the tranny to the diff. *hope* lol. I am using a r200LSD long nose. It will bolt in with a custom mustache bar and the driveline will need to be shortened. I am not sure if I will be using the stock half shafts(modified of course) for the time being or shell out some$$$ for custom CV axles.

Let me know if you get bored of the seats,door trims,steering wheel,headlights,gauges LOL..
Where are the updates??
Wouldn't mind seeing the progress of the custom pick up either, any thread on this?
