can I ask how much more complicated to do an rb25 in an s14 compared to the sticky "rb25 in s13" what else do I have to do. I sent my wiring to mckinney, I should get it back in a couple of days. just checking before I start with everything. also what can I do with my stock speedo cause if I sent it to mack then it's another 300 dollars to recalibrate everything. thanks with everything

I've read the scc mag but the way I'm doing is diff. first I'm using mckinney mounts, second I don't have a skyline cluster. I was wondering if you can used the stock 240 cluster? the cluster they sent me was a s13, when I called them and asked them, all they did was gave me back 100 dollars and basically said good luck. so now I have no choice but to used the 240 one. anyone can help me out?

I am not too familiar with the skyline swaps, but here goes.

The motor installation should be the same as the s13. McKinney is doing your wiring so thats a non-issue. The speedo AFAIK has to be modded to work as well as the tach, so either work over the $$$ or deal. SOrry I cant be of more assistance.

that's what I was hoping for. thanks It doesn't sound hard but the only thing that was confusing were the speedometer and tach. I think I'm gonna run with an aftermarket tack for now because I read somewhere that the stock rpm isn't compatible or exactly or something like that. one more question,

I have rb25det with mckinney mounts. one 12 inch and one 14 in electrical fan walboro 255 fuel pumpfmicmckinney driveshaft and wiringexedy clutch300zx fuel filter and mafstype-r bov

anything else I need?thanks
