Just after some help on engine/gearbox mounts in my R32 GTS4, I find when under power the engine/ gearbox moves alot, which makes it hard to select gears when you change.

Are any other people having or had trouble like this?

What engine/gearbox mounts are other people using in their high powered cars, and does it fix the problem?

I changed to NISMO mounts all around.

What you have to remember is the stock ones in there (assuming they haven't been changed before) are now 15+ years old and have seen a fair bit of action in that time.

Buy new ones, put them in and notice the difference, you wont be disappointed :P

I guess a lot of people would be using Nismo.

Maybe you could get an engine damper. Even if it doesnt work well, its bling for the bay :ninja:

Damper's dont do dick other than take up space under the bonnet.

Get the new mounts and your problem will be solved :P

I went stock everyhing with my 370rwkw. Seemed ok to me even under full song @ the drags when i was full power.

Pulled it all out as part of the 26 conversion and all was well. No wear at all after some harsh km's.

Given though i had a stock crossmember that was modified to accomodate the RB25 box (as opposed to RB20 box which mounts differently).

So possibly the change that incorporated a better fit possibly?

I also had brand new diff mounts/cradle bushes aswell as i did have issues previously with things moving around a little.

Andrew,

Are you sure you haven't busted an engine mount?

When I dropped the RB30DET in I replaced mine with new ones from Nissan. 50,000km's later I busted the passenger side engine mount. :P

I believe it was most likely related to axle tramp. Subframe bushes sorted that.

No doubt with the GTS4 + Rb30 and near 400rwkw you will need something better. I guess you could try nismo failing that I don't know.

See if its possible to have some urethane's made up if not umm solids :S

had a poly g'box mount noticeably louder and more vibration in cabin compared to the nismo engine and box mounts I later changed to

g'box mount is easy to change with jack and stands, the engine mounts were a pain and that was with a hoist

we made up some solid ally engine mounts and we welded up the std gearbox mount. At 370rwkws the std engine mounts seemed fine, one race meeting at 400rwkws and we broke the p.s mount. So i figured we would need something remarkably stronger for over 450rwkws.

Best thing i noticed about the gearbox mount being solid was how easy it was to change gears. With the dog box, i found during one race i would crunch atleast 1 gearchange, after the mount change i didnt crunch any.

haha solid mounts in a race car you cant even hear the extra noise from vibrations lol.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
