hey guys,

did a search but f*rk me, when u type in the words 'broken', 'engine' and 'mounts' you get alot of different search results relating to other things.

ANYWAY

was just about to set up an drop my 25 in my 32, when i only now just realised the engine mounts are broken.

See pics below ->

the actuall brackets from the engine to the mounting positions are fine. its just these black platicy rubbery parts of the mounts have cracked clean in half...

im just about to trip off too nissan to see if they have some replacements. anyone else had this trouble before?

If you want to save a few $$$ i would suggest getting some VL turbo engine mounts (even just VL should do) shaving off the small rubber mounting point and using those. Far far cheaper than buying genuine nissan mounts.. However if you have snapped a mount or 2 using the rb20 i daresay that in time you will snap a few using the 25, but this would be a good temporary fix until you get some good aftermarket mounts.

I just got back from nissan, i didnt expect them to be cheap but when the guy told me $110 EACH i got a little light headed. I'll go check out sprints or something now an see what they can come up with an hopefully ill get this engine in before dark :P

yea well not good enough:P i just got back from sprints and purchased some RB30E mounts for $34 for the pair :P the stud is a little short but i think ill just grind down the bracket a bit just enough for the stud to pop through properly.

lol i wouldnt say 'reliable'. the stud doesnt even pop out the top of the nut.... it doesnt even make it half way :P but it will do for a temporary fix and atleast it will allow me to get as far as dropping the engine in.

just for peoples information the RB30E mounts are identicle to the RB20det and RB25det mounts except for the top stud is half the length. everything else about them is the same.

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
