S13 coupe and RB25DET

you probably see where this is going. i planned on using the mount kit as i know of the hood clearance issue if you use the crossmember.

want to do a silvia conversion as well as FMIC.

can it fit? is it harder or easier? no different?

i already searched. gave me nothing but these two links.

The S13 coupe is totally different than the hatch, its not like Nissan just changed the back, I doubt that you will EVER be able to fit an RB25 into a coupe....



From the door latch pillar forward, the S13 hatch or coupe ARE EXACTLY THE SAME!!!!! EXACTLY

NO DIFFERENCE.

At least he DID try searching first so I give him credit there...

i said i searched to avoid comments like this

i heard a few things about various motors being able to fit in the fast back but not the coupe. wanted to verify.

Stop quoting everything also! I have a coupe and an rb25 fit in fine with Mckinney mounts and also a fmic. As a daily driver. So it will fit.

I don't know if a series 2 engine will fit though!

bah. habit of quoting formed on bigger boards. when in the time it takes to post 4 posts have squeezed in ahead of you it becomes hard to understand who someone is talking to.
