Yay!!!

[Project240]

Took 2 hours of incessant pushing/pulling/raising/lowering/etc, but we finally got the RB20 drivetrain mounted into my car It'll take a bit more work to get it to run, of course, but at least it's in there.

My O2 housing actually doesn't contact my steering shaft at all; I'm using the stock R32 skyline crossmember and mounts, and I have about 1/4 inch of clearance between the housing and the shaft. It looks like enough clearance to me; what do you guys think? Is 1/4" enough, or should I try to dremel some of the housing away and give it some more room in case the engine shifts during hard cornering?

the motor wont shift that much, youll be fine.

Good news, Project240; congrats.

My steering shaft missed by ~1/4" also, but then I found out that I couldn't push the u-joint all the way down on the steering rack gear.... because the shaft was too short. Somehow the R32 x-member moved the gear farther away from the firewall, giving me lots of clearance but creating another problem in the meantime.

so what did you end up doing to solve the steering shaft?
