Bought a FSTB from ebay (yeah...basically, you get what you pay for, but thats a different story.) i noticed that the bar had a sticker in it that says "240sx 89-94" Will this fits in my 1995? i haven't unwrapped it yet in case i have to return it.

thanks,

find someone with an s13 and measure the distances between the strut towers. i dont know if they are the same on the s13 and s14 but thats what i would do.

I used to have a Trust FSTB and then recently bought a JDM Nissan one you may have seen one before. I have a 95 S14, my point is the length and height are the same the only thing you have to worry about is that the bolt holes for the plates are slightly off between the two models. My JDM FSTB has slotted holes because it was designed for the S13 and S14. SO either you have slots instead of holes or you can make it fit if you want. Did the Ebay listing say it was for an S14 but when you got it they sent you an S13. If it's for a S13 then send it back, if they screwed up you shouldn't have to pay shipping back to them, just put it back in the box and write return to sender on it. Email them and say WTF!

Well you can always try to install it but if it doesn't fit then refer to my previous thread! They are fairly easy to install so it should only take you about 15min max.
