    Non turbo R32s have different diameter props. If it was an RB20DE then the prop diameter is smaller. If it was an RB25DE then the diameter is usually the same but the length is too short. Was the front prop modified to be used in an R32?

    Mine was RB25DE auto and I converted to RB20DET manual and I needed front and rear sections of an R32 manual prop. The guys at Garage-D had never seen a prop like the one that came out of mine. The back half of a turbo manual prop is a lot longer than the front half, mine were about equal length. Was the car auto before?

    On the left is the front half of an RB20 turbo prop, on the right is the RB25DE auto prop:

    If the length measures up correctly, all you need is the back half of an R32 Turbo manual propshaft and that should fix your problems. The non turbo manuals have smaller flanges as yours does. I know Garage D have these on the shelf so it might be worth giving them a ring?
