And dont forget to space the engine up if your going 2.5 out back engine as the ring rear hits the cross member....i think it wos about 12 mill or so...
I just made some alloy plates to bolt to the ej and it worked swweeet....

Also you can gain a little more clearance there by belting the crossmember just near where the steering rack goes (where the clearance issue is) with a gympie a few times, just to be sure

If your motor comes with the round engine mounts, ditch them and source some square ones. Will save you replacing them when the round one fail - they are shyte

When making the spacers, try to construct some wedges instead - you will notice that when the EJ mounts sit on the crossmember they are at a bigger angle than normal which also contributes to their earlier death - square ones still last ages but to make it perfect use wedges to bring it into the right angle will help lots.

"Disco are you getting a Crossbred kit to go with your insanely powerful EA82turbo?"

Yes I bought one of those kits when Gee still had the CrossBred business .

Don't know what the rebuilt Vortex engine will make , brake wise the plan is to use MY2000 WRX brakes and wheels which I also have excepting the rear twin piston aluminium calipers . R32/33 single turbo Skylines and Z32 300ZXs use the same ones so not hard to get .

Yes when I want to move in style I wheel the R33 out of the cave .
