IF YOU PURCHASED THESE MOUNTS COULD YOU PLEASE EMAIL ME AT [email protected]

DID ANY OF YOU GUYS TAKE PICTURES OF THE INSTALL?

Post by **xjon** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

I saw pics of it (i believe) when they introduced it in a thread. I haven't heard of anyone that has installed them yet or taken measurements with them.

Mckinney has a few pics of their mounts on their instruction sheet. Maybe they can post it here. It will be a nice comparison.

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

YEAH I'M TRYING TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS PICS WITH THEM INSTALLED.

Post by **JonPowell** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

I am going to be doing an RB25 install into a 1990 fastback soon(hopefully starting on it this weekend) I will get pics for you.

They are on their way, right Cam?

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

LOL........ OK COOL. IT PROBABLY WONT MATTER BY THEN BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE PICTURES ANYWAY.

Post by **xjon** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

it will benefit everyone. gotta love NICO

Post by **NISMO_RB25** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

If you want I can take some pics of my finished RB25DET/S13 instal with mckinney mounts. I have the car up in the air waiting on an axle for the VLSD, so it would be easy to see them now.

I know you are probably not going with the mckinney mounts, but it may be a nice comparison for when someone else does the Night/tophat mounts.

JohnPowel,With all the crap that went on, getting kicked off NICO, and everything, you still bought the mount kit from NSR? Good luck, and post some picks when you get installed.

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

YEAH GET PICS IF YOU CAN..... THERE IS A REASON I ONLY WANT SPECIFIC MOUNTS PICTURES RIGHT NOW. I'LL POST ON IT LATER, I'M JUST TRYING TO CONFIRM SOMETHING.

Post by **JonPowell** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

I didnt actually buy it, I am installing for another guy who did....the mounts were supposed to be done like 3 weeks ago, but on Monday I was told they are being shipped out so we will see. I am starting the swap this weekend and will let you all know EXACTLY what I think of the Night 7 mounts...good or bad.

I am always willing to give someone another chance, when I am not being fed bull stuff.

Post by **NISMO_RB25** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

Sounds good, can't wait to see the pics.

Above is a link to pictures I took of the mounts I received from Cameron. I will be taking more of the engine actually installed this weekend when I get to throwing the motor in there. I have to get the bay painted so it may not be til Sunday when I post some pictures. I am getting the engine hoist today so that I can take that old KA engine out and finish sanding the bay. Wish me luck and I hope the pics are helpful.~Andrew~

Post by **xjon** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

Andrew good luck with the swap! Make sure to take notes on how much clearance in front and top of the engine. If I remember correctly you should be able to install a strut tower brace with a slight bow to it using the stock intake manifold. Also take note on shifter location. Thanks

Can't wait to see the reviews

Mine should be here too, I should be droping the motor in the car this weekend if the timming belt job dosen't take too long.

Post by **xjon** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

Yellow- which mounts are you going with? Is it being shipped or do you already have it?

Good luck!

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

CAMERON DON'T EVEN WORRY ABOUT IT.... MY CAR DOESN'T MOVE. I'M JUST GOING TO SELL THE MOUNTS, ITS NOT WORTH THE HASSLE.... I HAVE ALL THE IMPORTANT PICTURES ALREADY ANYWAY.

I DROPS THE MOTOR A LITTLE UNDER HALF AN INCH, AND MOVES IT BACK A QUARTER INCH. THE STOCK DUMP PIPE RUBS TO THE POINT WHERE THE WHEEL WILL ONLY DO A QUARTER TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION, THE HOOD SKELETON WILL HIT THE RECIRULATOR VALVE, THE SHIFTER IS 1/4" CLOSER TO THE STOCK LOCATION, AND A SWAYBAR MAY CLEAR IF IT IS BENT UP AND FORWARD.

I'LL BE POSTING THE PICTURES LATER TODAY HOPEFULLY.

Post by **NISMO_RB25** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

That blows. Are you going to go back to using the skyline x-member or go with different mounts?

Post by **JonPowell** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

I hope this isnt true, I was SOOO hoping that Cameron's would be good quality.

I dont want to do double the work.

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

MY SKYLINE CROSSMEMBER AND MOUNTS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE. IT TOOK US 2 HOURS TO INSTALL THE NIGHT7 MOUNTS ON A LIFT, IT TOOK US 30 MINS TO UNINSTALL THEM AND REINSTALL THE SKYLINE MOUNTS.

SERIOUSLY IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THESE MOUNTS GET IN CONTACT WITH MIKE AT TOPHAT. MIKE IS A GREAT GUY AND WAS VERY HELPFUL TO ME AND MY PROBLEMS. THANK YOU MIKE!

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

I MAY EVENTUALLY GO WITH MCKINNEY MOUNTS SO I CAN USE A CARBONFIBER HOOD BUT I'LL HAVE TO DECIDE THAT DOWN THE ROAD.

Post by **PalmerWMD** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

Since you are local to Cameron why not allow him to install them for you for free the way he knows to install them?

Fred..

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE 50 MILES (ONE WAY) TO HIS SHOP JUST FOR HIM TO TEAR MY CAR APART AND TAKE PICTURES. I ALSO DON'T LIKE PEOPLE TOUCHING MY CAR OTHER THAN ME AND A SELECT FEW OTHERS. WHEN IT COMES TO AUTO MECHANICS I DON'T REALLY TRUST ALOT OF PEOPLE.

I'M NOT GOING TO BASH ANYONE I JUST WANT TO STATE WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT ABOUT THESE PRODUCTS. IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS MUCH OF A HASSLE, I WILL PROVIDE HIM WILL ALL OF OUR PICTURES AND IF HE DOESN'T ACCEPT THEM THATS HIS ISSUE.

IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN THESE MOUNTS I HAVE A SET THAT WAS MOUNTED ONCE AND I'M WILLING TO TAKE A LOSS ON THEM!

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

HONESTLY.... SHOULD I HAVE TO SPEND MY GAS MONEY DRIVING TO AND FROM THERE AND ALSO CLEAR MY PLANS TO MAKE TIME TO GO DOWN THERE? MY CAR ISN'T EVEN RUNNING RIGHT NOW AS PER OTHER UNFORTUNATE EVENTS BUT IT SHOULD BE DONE THIS WEEKEND.

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

OK HOW HAVE I CHANGE MY STORY ITS ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME. EXCEPT FOR THE DROP ISSUE THATS BECAUSE I FINALLY HAD GOOD LOOK AT THE PICTURES. IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO A PISSING MATCH YOUR STARTING ONE WITH THE WRONG PERSON.

ITS FUNNY THAT THREE WELL EXPERIENCED MECHANICS LOOKED AT THE CAR AND TOOK PART IN THE INSTALL AND ALL SAID THE SAME THING. ANYWAY I HAVE PICTURES AND I WILL POST THEM ON HERE..... CAMERON THERE IS NO NEED FOR A REFUND I'LL JUST SELL THEM. I'VE ALREADY TALKED TO MIKE ABOUT THEM.... AND THEY ARE NOTHING LIKE WHAT I WAS TOLD THEY WILL DO.

MIKE IF YOU COULD POST EXACTLY WHAT THE MOUNTS ARE DESIGNED TO DO IT WOULD BE GREAT.

Quote »Our mount kits allow ease of install of both the RB20DET and RB25DET engines into the US model 240SX using the KA24 x-member, both S13 and S14. RB26DETT kits will be released soon. Kits come with both upper and lower mounts to relocate the engine to where it's supposed to be, as well as a transmission mount so that everything is alligned perfectly. Our mount kit will help you avoid issues such as hood clearance of the stock intake manifold, anti-sway bar clearance, shifter allignment, and O2 housing clearance of the steering column. Our mounts allow the perfect fit without having to do any cutting or denting of your firewall for starter fitment.[/quote]- DIRECT FROM YOUR WEBSITE

SWAYBAR NEEDS TO SHIM MOUNTS TO DO SOHOOD WILL NOT CLEAR THE RECIRCULATOR VALVE WITHOUT CUTTING HOODDUMPPIPE DOESN'T CLEAR STEERING SHAFTSHIFTER IS NO WHERE NEAR WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE

YEAH WILL CAMERON MY PROJECT HAS TAKEN OVER A YEAR BECAUSE OF OTHER REASONS..... GIVE ME A CAR, A WORKING RB20, AND ALL THE PARTS NEEDED AND I'LL DO IT FOR YOU IN A DAY.

TELL ME ONE THING I SAID MIKE SAID THAT HE DIDN'T!?

I WONT TAKE THIS TO A PERSONAL LEVEL BECAUSE THERE IS NO NEED I'M JUST TRYING TO POST WHAT THESE MOUNTS DO. AND HOW CAN YOU MOUNT THESE THINGS WRONG? THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY THEY GO ON.

CAMERON DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON YOUR EXPERIENCE

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

HEY YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT YOU CONVERTIBLE? ITS DONE COMPLETELY WRONG AND YOU DO REALISE YOU JUST ****ED THE WHOLE CORE STRUCTURE OF THE CAR UP RIGHT? YOU TOOK OUT OVER 3000 SEAM WELDS AND RE-WELDED IT.

AND YOU SAID ONE KEY THING IN THAT DEREK.... I HAVE YET TO SEE YOU DO A DAMN THING. WHEN IT COMES TO NISSANS I CAN DO ANY OF THE THINGS YOU CAN..... WELL THAT IS IF I HAD A BANK ROLL FUELED BY OTHER PEOPLES MONEY. WANT TO SEE ALL THE HONDAS, NISSANS, SRS, AND DOMESTICS I'VE DONE CAMERON? WE CAN REALLY GET INTO IF YOU WANT.

DUDE ITS A NEW STORY WITH YOUR WASHINGTON CAR EVERYDAY. ANYWAY WHATEVER MAN HAVE FUN WITH YOUR LITTLE BUSINESS AND ALL YOUR EXPERIENCE. WELL I'LL GET THOSE PICTURES UP ASAP AND YOU DO WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO AND I'LL BE DONE.

Post by **NISMO_RB25** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

LMAO!!

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

I'M SERIOUS..... I'M NOT MESSING AROUND, THESE ARE REALLY FOR SALE.

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

JUST MAKE A REASONABLE OFFER.

Post by **xjon** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:32 am

I'll take that as a dissatisfied customer with a negative review. Still interested in what others think. Jon or Andrew?

Why doesn't everybody take pics and compare? Here's an idea- take a straight stick and lay it across the strut towers and place a ruler from the stick to the highest point of the engine and we can all see without the worry of camera angles.
