I was installing my mckinney motorsports mounts for the Rb25 and the threads on the actual mount stripped off like butter, I was never even able to get the nut tight on the mount. I am going to cry cuz I got it all ready and its waiting for that

What did McKinney say when you told them this? And has anyone else had this problem?

i used the mckinney mounts, and they worked like a champ. I have been driving the car for a couple of weeks, and it is still fine.

woo hoo, another texas RB 240(I am in San Antonio)

you should contact them if you haven't already.

AS soon as you contacted us we told you we would send you new rubber isolaters. I got your email this morning and your replacements will go out to you Friday, this is the first day UPS is working there closed today and the 1st. I will send you both new isolaters and lock nuts. Losck nuts do not have to be torqued to high torques only about 25ftlbs. Sorry they stripped !! but I will overnight the new ones on friday with a extra Saturday delivery. Please send the bad one to us in the same box, I will include a UPS call tag just put it on the box and call UPS for a pick-up. I need the defective one to talk to the manufacture of the isolators about this problem. MACK

any date of completion? its an infiniti j30 [Y32] with the VG30DE [front sump oilpan, RWD] and i want to bolt in a rb26, so i guess the z31 kit would work.

im just trying to get out of having to make my own mounts.

shouldnt somone change the thread title to something else....the thread title is pretty incriminating. and so far Mckinney still rocks. so can mod change it to somthing like "Mckinney fixed their mistake fast"....lol...or something like that.
