don't know, never tried to fit an s12 starter to a DET. likely you had a jap engine before and a UK one now

I found it near impossible to fit the bolts into the motor, the reason being is biting the pipe. A quick angle grind sorted that out though

what was the concensus with the starters then chaps?
my engine is a mk2 ET with the turbo feed from the block turbo side, but i have the water pipes to the turbo blanked off (cos turbos not water cooled).
Will a DET starter fit ya reckon?
how much lighter is the starter? much?
Cheers

The DET starter is slightly smaller than the ET one, so yeah it will work...
