as long as the car was a manual tranny to begin with. if you are converting while doing the swap you need to pick up a manual driveshaft somewhere.

the mounts shove the motor back a little tiny bit so it takes up some of the slack you would have if you used the skyline X-member. I make my mounts a little different than tophat or McKinney so you have about half the amount of play, but if you stick an LSD in you arent smashing everything together. My mounts are right in between where the R32 xmember and tophat mounts put the motor, about 3/8" instead of 3/4 .
good luck on your swap, hope you have fun doing it.
