hi this is cody from ruckus-racing. we have sold a few of these kits and no one has complained. the kit its self has changed in thickness and the styling. i will post pics of the mounts installed when i get back in town. thanks. there is no jumping on the fray for me either, i've been tunning nissans and drifting for 7years. its just time for us to make our mark and sell products at a more reasonable price

ouch!! i will admit though i do like the fact it uses stock mounts or affermarket ones, so basically if materials and fitment are ok than this could be awesome i mean they look similar to TOPHAT without the ****ty isolater

actually 16. i have a bday in a couple weks. and yes 7years. not all nissan alot of rotory to. but i've been into drifting before i could drive. not trying to start **** over it. but i do know my way around a car. Ive done swaps from your basic rb25 or sr20 to v-8 240sxs and rx-7s. im going to begin our second drift car which is a f/r civic with either a sr20 or rb25. as for our mounts, yes they do look similar to top hats mounts and yea we caught alittle **** over it. But there is only so many ways to make a motor mount. we use 1/4" base plates and 3/16" base material.i'll leave installed pics when i get back in town

these mounts are built A LOT nicer than the tophats...I have tophats and have seen these mounts in person...they are a lot nicer and should hold up a lot better.

i will admit slightly better to tophat imo since it has ability to use oem rubber mount inplace of the ****ty isolator they use that was big factor why i didnt wanna use tophat but seemed to be only choice for em at time, mckinney is expensive so is syko and if i have to put more than 300 into my project outside of the tune i will probally kill my self

Not to steer people away from this product, but anyone with Top Hat mounts can use OEM mounts as well. All you have to do is drill another hole and it should be fine to use oem. NOW, rockus uses thicker metal as they claim which is what I like. I have Top Hat myself but because of no fabrication required and thicker matel Im going to spend that $250 or so.

i am glad you guys are happy with what i have made. to address a few question and comments first. no top hat mounts will not work with oem mounts, one of the reasons i made these was for a costomer who wanted to replace the mounts in his tophat kit. the mounts in that kit are not as thick as oem mounts and have 2 different size mounting holes. our kit is made to upgrade when needed. to the person who said they had knock off written all over them, like i said before there are only so many ways to make a motor mount. its nothing i havnt heard before. but to everyone who is happy with them thank you

Figured out a price for us nico members?

Also on ebay you offer you own mounts. Whats up with that? Because right now Im leaning towards megan racing mounts or nismo when I get your mounts.

Do you by any chance have any shots straight on? I want to see how high it really sits compared to my tophat. And do you know if any issues occure? Like can you still use your stock turbo elbow or what? Please let us know.

Thanks- Chuki.

If nothing else, atleast he replies to messages and actually cares about his product.

My customer relations with tophat were nothing less than a huge annoyance.

yeh itry to answer any questions as fast as i can. we have had no issues with the mounts, we have sold many and no one has come to us with anything but good comments. we offer a semi-solid engine mount and a solid mount. i can put up picks if you would like. we are just waiting on our new shippment from our urithane dealer. i cannot post pics of a strieght shot at the moment. the engine in the picks was actualy comming out fo a overhaul. if a costomer stops in the shop i will snap some picks though. i will try to get some. But our mounts with the oem mount in the car sets about .5" lower with no clearance issues

it would be better to use the nismo urethane ka mounts with this; thinking about it now, that's not bad of an idea.

Saw some of these mounts the other day, a local guy bought them for his RB20. They look decent, the welds look good, metal is thick.

I'm sticking with R32 Xmember + Nismo mounts for mine for now though.

GL with your product.
