What brand for the motor mounts??

[S13_RB25]

OK guys i found couple of brands for the motor mount kits:1) off course: McKinney, which is $1100and2) Syko performance: their kit is $555, but does not include a drive shaft. I can get that separate for $400 or lower, McKinney.

Well???

They are all decent just pick when you want. Im running the syko mount kit becuse on my last mckinny rb car the damn mouting brackets sit close to the ground. If you have a slammed carmckinny mounts are just too low . I like the syko mounts it sits the engine low and far back but uses the stock cross member so its like OEM. No bracket s*** or low hanging bars under the transmission.

well i was going to go with an aftermarket suspension, but how low do the McKinney mounts really hang and were the McKinney mounts you had on the stock suspension??

I got the syko mounts and a paid 250 for a alum drive shaft

I have Mckinny mounts, and my car is pretty low. The oil pan is right around level with the crossmember.

This season I'm going have my car lower and I'm going to make a skid plate for it. I may raise the engine up with a few washers, but nothing extreme, maybe 1/4in at most.

One thing about the syko mounts is you'll need a R32 crossmember. That's an added expense. And they do sit the engine higher and more forward. You might have hood clearance issues.

Either way, Syko or Mckinny you can't go wrong.

Either company will work and both are backed by good companys . The syko mounts do not have any issue with the hood nor does it sit forward, if you have used the syko mounts you would know they are adjustable front to back, even people that use syko mounts some have luck running 2 puller fan's rather then pushers. I am running 2 pullers with no modification to my chassic. There are ton's of people on here using syko mounts and have yet to hear one bad review. Good luck to you.

I use REVSHIFT motor mounts in both my 350z and my 240sx, couldn't be happier.

I used the syko mounts and it fits the motor in a great spot, I don't have any experience with any other mount kits but I thought it was a good deal considering you get the dump pipe to fit any sr20 downpipe which make for a greater selection and better pricing on downpipes. The transmission sits in a great spot with the syko kit and is basically dead on where it's supposed to be. Only issue I had was with the sway bar brackets being needed new bolts and the tight size sway bar bushings, but it all worked out. I think this kit gives you pretty much the best overall deal, and I got my driveshaft from driveshaft shop for like $250 which isn't bad for a 1 piece steel driveshaft custom make for the mount kit. Only thing will be sourcing an r33 crossmember which took some finding but wasn't impossible and is the great Nissan interchangebility and bolts right up like it was meant for the s13 chassis.

part# 2265. Also interchanges with # M2265 and 270-2265.



$4 to $7 a piece found at your local parts store...

not the same, it's shorter and very common.

Shaftmasters also make a driveshaft for that setup, its like 350

But yea I would go for the syko ones, specially if u want to drop it..Dont forget the R33 GTS crossmember
