I'm not 100%, but I think the R33 crossmember cannot be used in the S13. Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh okay...I was thinking there might be some dimensional differences between the two. I guess I should just research more before opening my mouth

ive been collecting parts without even knowing bahahaha.

on a side note, can the oem s13 transmission mount work with the rb20 transmission?

I know this is kinda random but since the r32 rb20 cross member fits the rb20 nice and snug in a s13, why cant you take a r32 rb26 cross member and at least get a good start at fitting the rb26 in a s13. I'd figure it sit too high but just a thought that crossed my mind.....
