Dude we have almost the same car! I can help with pretty much all of your problems, I’m in the middle of getting my 240 back together but I can find time. ---

Cool a$$ project! Welcome to the board. Looked at your pics- Got parts!? Damn! Where’d you get that cluster with the kph/mph conversion and what looks like a digital readout for speed? The RB25DET is a very smooth motor, no doubt… Pulls pretty nice to 6k or so, almost like a larger displacement engine. How’s the power delivery on the RB20, compared to a turboed SR20? Props for the different approach. ---

> [@TougeThisDB1?!?](#): > > yah the wiring drew was working on was going damn near perfect till he sold it to scotty, then him and douche hauser fucking ripped it all apart and thought they could run it on quote “3 wires” thats when all the problems started. as far as a tach signal, did you get a signal converter? or you can run an r32 cluster. :nod The ECU runs DC current, and the aftermarket tach runs DC. The tock cluster runs off the stock ECU, which isn’t getting any engine speed signal. So yeah, I spent $5,908,364.21 on that stupid adapter. That’s one of my first steps in forward progress. But when I was doing the water pump…I noticed a ripped motor mount on the driver side…effin great. I got more pics I’ll upload in a moment ---

I’m running an R33 crossmember. Anyway, I don’t know if you can use R33 mounts on a R32 crossmember… ---

yes you can use the mounts i believe. they say that the r32 CM doesnt fit but that just goes to show you cant believe everything on the internet. the relative block to CM position is the same on r32-r34 the castings are all the same so the mounting points are the same. im 75% sure. ---

Well I’ll try and find both mounts (L and R) and if Ernie wants them he can have for free.
