Hardrace Engine Mounts- Is There A Height Difference?

[robbo_rb180]

hey all,

i had a local workshop put my new motor in my sil80 and they replaced a broken mount for new hardrace items and now my bonnet won't close

so does anyone know what the size difference is between standard, hardrace and nismo mounts is?

cheers

Wouldnt have thought they would have sat the engine any higher. Seems a strange way to do it.

I was thinking about getting Hardrace engine mounts, maybe I wont anymore

What were your old mounts? they werent modded/customised because there in a 180 and not an R33/R34?

nah old ones were r33 or maybe they were shagged the whole time i have had the car, might not help i now have 26 engine covers

I have heard alot of people say the nismo ones raise it but not sure about hardrace.

What engine is in your sil80?

I'm guessing an rb25?

If so what crossmember are you using and I'm guessing your not using forward facing plenum?

rb25 w/26engine covers, r33 x-member, greddy plenum.

cars had this setup for over 5 years and haven't had any problems til new motor w/ hardrace mounts and 26 covers was done

Don't know about rb26 v rb25 rocker covers but 33 engine mounts are too high for rb25 crossmember and engine mount brackets.

Can you get your hands on old mounts and measure them?

i have hardrace in a 32 gtr, same hieght as standard, replaced due to split, only slightly higher because theyre not old and sagged.
