Damn it, still no shots of how the oil pan sits compared to the sway bar and engine crossmembers?

I will take a pic next time I'm out working on the car to show where the Nismo mounts places my oil pan, just for comparison's sake.

slider2828 · 05-13-2010, 11:53 AM

Kewl... Yeah sorry sosideways, I am replacing my rear subframe and all that good stuff.... So its lifted on the opposite end hahaha.

GripTerror · 05-13-2010, 04:54 PM

I just found this looks similar and is cheap on ebay:

Supposedly they are 'solid mounts'

240SX Solid Motor Mount S13 S14 S15 180SX SR20DET : eBay Motors (item 270576013337 end time Jun-07-10 08:02:54 PDT)

60 bux

Those are solid engine mounts, notice the bolt going throught the whole thing. The driftfreaq mounts are actual isolated engine mounts. Meaning the upper mounting surface is not connected to the lower mounting surface other then with the urethane. Those e-ghey pieces of shit aren't even comparable. I would rather just put a piece of aluminum with a bolt through it then those, I could make that for free...

slider2828 · 05-13-2010, 10:59 PM

Those look like that shit flipin240sx had that broke apart LOL

speedracer2169 · 05-13-2010, 11:26 PM

interesting I wonder how these compare to the Circuit Sports mounts I just put in (the drift freak mounts not the e ghey crap)

MrChow · 05-14-2010, 04:50 PM

I miss the urethane motor mounts... They soo much nicer then Nismo.... *sigh*
I wished u start to sell these again a year ago driftfreq...

well, I am actually getting ready finally, to do another group buy.

slider2828 · 06-06-2010, 11:03 PM

Alrigt guys here is the comparison, had a track day soo it really tested the engine mounts too!

This is straight on from the lip of my bumper, you can't really see my oil pan, so this is eye level or a little lss.

This is a little lower than eye level of the computer to the back of my car, you can see the oil pan pop out. So no, the pan DOES NOT become lower than the sway OR the cross member with these Mounts!

Thanks Again Drift Freaq

KA240SX808 · 06-06-2010, 11:09 PM

^Nice, I've been waiting for someone to post about that after I read 1" lower then Nismo's. I'll be ordering a pair sometime soon, my mounts are so shot.

wait a minute... are you lifting the car by the oil pan??? or is it just my eyes... or is it by the front subframe?

Oh and how were the engine mounts? I am still curious even though I am considering avid racing cnc'd aluminum/polyurethane mounts lol... i need something stiffer actually hahaha...

I'm running cuscos... i wana know how these compare...

Om1kron · 06-07-2010, 05:09 AM

he's lifting from the front subframe.

slider2828 · 06-07-2010, 10:48 AM

All I can say is, they are great.... I wrapped them on the track with some 2000 degree reflectant material that you use for protecting bmcs and stuff.... Great for the track and the street.....

xpertsnowcarver · 06-07-2010, 10:49 AM

Nice. I'm going to the track this weekend.

slider2828 · 06-07-2010, 11:03 AM

Congrats!!! Have fun!

xpertsnowcarver · 06-07-2010, 11:15 AM

Ares240SX · 06-07-2010, 12:16 PM

You have a picture of you coming down Turn 5 Slider2828? Last time I ran Thill it was in reverse almost 7 years ago... Fun track with lots of runoff if you make a mistake.

unreal- · 06-07-2010, 12:45 PM

I can't wait to order my set!

My mounts are shot! i can practically move the motor with one hand back and forth.

You kidding me? NY has Watkins Glen - a worldwide reknown racetrack. It hosted the US F1 grand prix for longer than any other US venue back in the day.

I was about to buy Nismo mounts when I saw this thread...

Are you still gonna do that group buy?

GripTerror · 06-08-2010, 07:52 AM

I just ran across these:

Circuit Sports EMK-0134-HC Engine Mount Set S13 S14 S15 KA24DE SR20DET

They lower the motor slightly too... polyurethane... i wonder how they are anyone have experience with them?

soreballz · 06-08-2010, 08:33 AM

^seriously? They're "made" by Circuit Sports. That alone should scare you away.
Stop trying to cheap out on your mounts and buy something that's already proven to work well.

Dude, did you NOT notice the bolt going through the whole thing???

Those are the same shitty design as the e-ghey ones you posted above.

I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to do in this thread, but you should stop.

where can you get it from and did you just wrap it around the mount or just made a shield how joel/xpertsnowcraver did?

to OP will you have heatshields for the newer ones coming out in GB?

Well I just wrapped them around because the top is basically covered my the mounts from the engine. You can get the material from any hot rod store easily or order them from summitracing. Its because used to cover stuff and I use them for ball joints too! Its not cheap like 40 bucks for like a 4' x 1' piece.... but worth it.... COVER YOUR BALL JOINTS FOLKS......
