Rb20 into S13 not lining up??

[thursdaymike]

i have a series 2 rb20, going into a chouki s13. I'm using a r32 crossmember and mounts. The motor mount are in, not tightened down yet. When i get ready to put the transmission mount on it looks like the whole motor needs to move forward a couple of inches. What am i doing wrong, and also the drive shaft doesnt have enough room either?

You probably have wrong x-member not R32, I'm not sure but think also R33 mounts or GTR engine mounts are different (aluminum) not sure. And r33 x-member is different from r32's IIRC.

A GT-S r32 x-member bolts in, into a S13 chassis, and RB20 is a direct drop in using that crossmember and stock RB20 mounts(I'm not sure if KA mounts are same). A S13 manual trans d-shaft slides right into a RB20 trans and is a direct bolt on.

Sound like you have wrong parts. Or (I dont remember if there is only 2 holes for x-member mounting studs)(but if there is more than 2 on each side you have it in the wrong holes).
