nismo motor mount problems

[fullmetal]

I have been told that the nismo mounts can cause problems with the en6ine bein seated to hi6h causin issues with strut tower bars and rasin the wei6ht. has anyone else heard of or have any experience with this problem?

sorry the EF_HI button broke on my key board

[Slappy]

Yes , 2 of my good friends had this problem with Nismo mounts. One has a 92 240 hatch and the other owns a 95 s14. This is why i went with Project Nissan mounts.

I was thinkin about that but I dont think that I want solid mounts cause it is still a daily driver. how about the me6an racin anyone haver experience with them?

[Slappy]

If your looking for mounts without having your teeth rattled , go with new OEM. And no about the Megans.

There should be no issue with Nismo at all. They are exactly the same as the oe ones, just more heavy duty. I use them and I compared them before I installed, exact same fit.

I put new Nismo mounts (transmission and engine) in my 93 hatch about 5 months ago. Yes, when you look at the original and the Nismo mounts they look the same. However, after installing them in my car I noticed the engine sat higher by around a 1/4 inch. I had to modify my strut bar to keep it from rubbing on the top of the plastic cover over the injectors. Why were they higher? My opinion is because they are stiffer and the motor will squish the new ones less.

I can feel vibration more after subframe collars, coilovers and stuff. I'll go with OEM engine mounts and Nismo transmission mount when I do mine.

if you want realy low mounts go with the peak ones or cusco....the nismo made my letters on my valve cover eati nto my greddy strut bar when I was havin an egine issue and it was shakin..

JGS makes rubber mounts for a daily driver, you should check them out. I have the Poly mounts and im very impressed with the quality of the mount itself. Dont go with Poly unless you dont mind feeling engine vibration, ect. They rattle your car pretty badly.

That's strange you had issues with the nismo mounts. I have an apexi fsb and no clearance issues at all, plenty of space.

[fullmetal]

how bad is the vibrations with the cusco and the peak preformance? I can deal with a bit of vibration as lon6 as Its not overwhelmin. does anyone in the lower PA/Delaware area have one of these that I may stop by and take a look at them, 6et an idea of the way that it will ride?

[iitywygms]

Not really and issue. Just noticed it rubbed after I installed the new motor mounts. I have to say I Love the new Nismo mounts.

[supreamS14]

My greddy oil pan sits too low with the stock mounts! Are the Nismo mounts vibrations too bad for a DD or will I be able to bare it every day?

[Goldeneagle]

Lets get something straight. Nismo and or new oem mounts will put the engine and transmission back to the original height they should be at according to how things were set up from the factory.

If you don't like it, refill your old mounts with construction grade polyurethane adhesive or sealant. Let the mounts cure for about a week and then reinstall.

Other than that stop complaining about how your engine now sits higher and you have to modify a poorly designed strut tower bar to keep things from rubbing. Yes, I did say poorly designed strut tower bar. A number of strut tower bars were never designed with the height of the engine with new mounts in mind.

My bud has a Cusco Ti STB , and his rubbed.

The name brand doesn't matter. What Goldeneagle is saying is that most aftermarkert companies probably took measurements for making STB from of a 240,s13,180 that had old engine mounts still installed.

[94_240sx]

I have a Cusco bar with old engine mounts and it still rubs. Engine moves left and right and hits the STB like this.

where did you hook up with those mounts slappy

[CMG]

I think any rubbing problem would be from the strut bar itself like goldeneaagle is saying. It's not as if the engine is rubbing the hood. I think best design is 3 piece with oval or flat cross bar that angles up a bit. Like this.

It depends which Nismo mounts you get. The ones for the CA engine are different from the ones for the SR engine, and both kinds are different from the OEM mounts for the KA engine.

[CMG]

As stated before in this thread, the only difference between OE and nismo is composition of materials, not shape or design.

[d3vilskid]

The nismo ca motor mounts sits higher than the ka or sr motor mounts. The SR should be the same as KA granted that you have to swap the left and the right around to fit the KA.
