Which mounts to go with

[Nameless EJ6]

McKinney or Unstable?

Right now I'm leaning towards buying the whole McKinney kit w/driveshaft..

Anyone have a preference or something to say about them?

[JCAP_Tuning]

My Unstable mounts should have been shipped out today, hopefully will have them by the end of next week and if its not too late for you I will take pics and let you know.

[Bryson]

Not to sway you.. but there is anothe company that has mount kits... I looked at their web page like a day ago lemme find it again

http://www.supertunermotorsports.com/catalog/

might wanna check em out.. if I had the cash I'd go with the McKinney kit myself.. Hashiyras' car is really nice

[krayton]

if i had the money, id also go with mckinney's setup. but there driveshaft seems to be a little high priced compared to others. i'm finding around 200 -350 for driveshafts.

[Nameless EJ6]

krayton, where are you those driveshafts? I might look into them if they are cheaper... then I could just buy mckinney's mount kit.

Thanks for the replies..

JCAP that would be really appreciated!

i think it was 200-325 for a aluminum driveshaft. i still got to get details from them

Go with the http://www.supertunermotorsports.com kit. If you look at the difference between the mckinney and stm kits youll see that the stm kit solves every problem youll have. Look at this. MKM-mckinny's kit doesnt come with sway bar spacers to lower the sway bar which if you dont, youll be hitting it on your oil pan. Also transmission spacers to lower the driveshaft output angle so its not so harsh on the driveshaft preventing d/s failure. Doing this also keeps the top of the transmission off the underbody of the car. you can take your 240 d/s into a shop and have them put the Skyline yoke on and shorten it so it works perfect. All for less than the price of the MKM kit.(excluding d/s expenses). Not to for get included is a new downpipe to finish off all your problems so it doent interfere with the steeringshaft. Check out the site. There cool guys that will listen to any question you have. All mckinneys kit does is move the motor down and back. vs. all the above from http://www.supertunermotorsports.com. Talk to Patrick.

Also STM has different levels of there kit. From just the harness to the full kit. Its worth cheching out.

[93RPS13]

there are pic some where on this forum that show that their kit doesnt have the sway bar problem

[S13Sil-line]

Space is minimal when done. Very's from car to car on the distance between sway bar and the oil pan. The http://www.supertunermotorsports.com kit is the most professional kit Ive seen for this swap at about the same price or cheaper than the others.

Hmm I wonder if there is any difference in fitment between s13 and s14. because I think the STM kit is for an s14, cuz that's the car they dropped the RB in for SCC.

-Bluefire

[S13Sil-line]

The http://www.supertunermotorsports.com kit works with both the s13 and the s14. I called em up because I was worried about my swap. Im putting my RB into an s13 and got a little worried and called them. They kave put the kit on the s13 and s14 and they are now a %110 positive its a perfect fit.

[Nameless EJ6]

hmm. maybe I'll go with supertuner then..

Also, does anyone know who sells R33 subframes and transmission crossmembers?

[Bryson]

Venus Auto probably has some around. They traffic a lot of skyline clips from my understanding.

[S13Sil-line]

Also try STM. They specialize in the RB swaps and they might have some laying around.

I have the Mckinney kit in my car. It does not need sway bar spacers and there is no big angle on the drive shaft. Thats why the kit comes the way it does. So with no spacers my sway bar does not hit the oil pan. Oh and my steering was fine just needed to make a little room. Meaning it was just touching and easy to fix. And I am using the Ka cross member. If you were to look at my pics you would see just how low my engine sits and with no problem. So now that I have said all that I am glad to see more parts and stuff coming out for the RB but if people are going to start posting info they are unsure of or dont even know we will be making no foward movments in progress. So just keep that in mind.

[93RPS13]

finally someone that has the mckinney kit steps in to say something, i thought i was alone fighter there:D

[JCAP_Tuning]

Personally not a fan of the concept of adapting individual pieces, (i.e. transmission spacers, sway bar spacers) to move everything in place. I think the idea of custom mounts moving everything together down and lower is a better approach. I like being able to use my s14 crossmember as well. This is why I chose to go with the Unstable mounts, which the Mckinney mounts are a similar concept.

This is however just my opinion, I think the Mckinney or UH are a better idea than the Super Tuner ones, although a bit more expensive. But sometimes you get what you pay for.

[S13Sil-line]

I too agree with you. but you know sometimes service makes a difference. i was put off by Mckinney as some kid just rambling on about a dream car. didnt care too much about my questions. Thats where it changed for me. Id rather support a company that listens to thier customers. No big deal though. Its all to make the RB swap work. If a hand full of companys make the kit cool. Good luck with all your swaps.

[Bryson]

Aw come on RPS13 I think at the beginning I said if I had the $$ I'd go McKinney! No lone gun crap there mr.

[93RPS13]

my b i just felt lonly

[DCIracer]

I'd go with Supertuner....you can't beat what you get for the price....no other company can come close.

[S13Sil-line]

Or the service.

[DCIracer]

Amen to that brother. Nice to see a company that's finally coming out with cost-efficient stuff instead of other companies that rip your royal *** off such as McKinney or Unstable who charge $500 just for a mount kit.

[Bryson]

I have no Idea how Unstables turns out but McKinney's comes out hella nice so why stress it that they cost alot? just get the STM like I'm going to and let that pent up rage go man! and have you ever tried to look up the price for a kit to mounth a B16 in an 88 hatchback chasis? only a couple companies make kits for it that aren't backyard shops and they want about 500 for the same **** so its not just McKinney and its not just Nissan cars.

[Imissmyturbo]

You can get Hasport Mount kit for 88-91 civic/CRX for less then 400 bucks. And look at the quality of these suckers.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...83899

I think the amount that the shops ask for the RB mount kits is too much. I haven't seen pictures of them but I don't think they are nearly as complicated as the Hasport ones. It's just that because these mounts let you put a "SKYLINE" engine in your 240 is the resound they cost soo much.

[DCIracer]

Bryson, my main problem is that these companies charge high prices just because they can. Then all of the sudden this other company pops up out of nowhere and blows both of the top RB part making guys out of the water. It's nice to see a company that's not just trying to rip you off.... Manufacturers come up with a design or prototype for their mounts etc.. which usually gets sent to a production company in Thailand or China (cheap labor) and the mount kits get made for about $20 each and shipped to the original orderer.

[S13Sil-line]

Its all about whom has the best monopoly. If your the only one making the kit. What do you do? You rack up the price. Much like Mckinney does. Ya, it probably is a good kit, but them being one of the first gives them that head start on things. For some reason things are more trusting to whom does it first. Dont you think? Really you have to look past that. Look at service, price, along with product. Get whatever kit you feel is the best for the job at the right enough price. Personally I went with the http://www.supertunermotorsports.com kit.

[Bryson]

Ya I agree guys I mean I myself and going to get the STM kit.. I'm just sayin' since have the option of STM don't stress it over what McKinney does.. they do do a bad *** job so let people who have the BLANG BLANG go thru them.
