i was wondering if anyone here knows whether the B&M short-shifter for the 240sx (initially intended to go into my s14) would be compatible with an RB20DET transmission. i looked this up on the B&M Racing website, and the statement: > [@http://www.bmracing.com/index.php?id=products&sid=3&cat=3&subcat=15](#): > > Skyline R31, R32, R33 w/ RB20 non-turbo seems kind of vague as to whether the “non-turbo” refers to all of the stated models, or just with respect to the R33… if anyone could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. ---

Doesn’t the RB20 fall into the category of : Skyline R31, R32, R33 w/ RB20 non-turbo ? :dunno: What other FWD vehicles are equipped with RB20? ---

ok, thank you. the wording on b&m’s site was weird. i also looked up the installation manual and read the compatability list, cleared it up a little. thanks for the feedback. please lock/delete. ---

no problem, oh also the only rb20 in the r33 was single cam non turbo lol so i dunno why anyone would ever buy a short shifter for it lol building na de’s is rare enough as it is so i dunno why they bother advertising it fit rb20’s wehn it only fits the ones nobody here would buy
