There is no such thing as a FWD SR20DET. They are only available as RWD and AWD. We use AWD DETs from either the Sunny/Pulsar GTi-R or the Bluebird SSS.

There was a FWD Bluebird SSS offered in Oz, but it did not come with the SR20DET.

So, yes, you will need to buy an AWD SR20DET. It will bolt up to our gearboxes. There are two bolt holes that do not line up. It's OK. One is redundant on the USDM gearbox and the other is a small diameter bolt between the gearbox and the upper oil pan. No big deal.

You will also find the bearing support for the passenger halfshaft only uses 2 of 3 bolt holes. One hole hangs in the air. No big deal.
