Will it sit the engine 10mm higher than std location?

Silvia guys report some issues with the SR20 sitting higher.

Anyone notice this on there R32 GTR or not really?

My concern is basically my new exhaust fitting exactly how it should.

Cheers.

yes, and yes. I can measure a nismo one if that helps but I noticed no difference

nah it's all good I'll soon find out lol.

I've already installed my engine with the Nismo mounts in just waiting for racepace twin 3 into 4 front pipe and since it merges to 4" I was just curious if it's going to fit after reading the Silvia guys comments.

Do you notice the difference with engine movement and gearbox as I fit all 3 of them.

Does it really help pulling gears at RPM

I have noticed absolutely no issue with the nismo mounts, nor before I had them. nor in my stagea which has standard mounts.

in the end I just went the nismo ones because they cost about the same, and why not try "upgraded"

I suspect that unless the current mounts are broken you won't notice a difference either

I'm just wrapping up a CD009 install on an R32 and wanted to drop the front of my engine a tad to get a better driveshaft angle. I thought I'd chime in on this post with conclusive info as I have both new OEM and Nismo R32 mounts. 11220-02U03 vs 11220-RS585.

I'm confirming without a doubt that they are both the exact same height and both have the same "Squish" when installed. I ended up notching my engine mounts like the RB30 guys do. The height difference people see must just be the difference between settled old mounts and new fresh mounts. 

Cheers.

Correct. Nismo mounts are OEM mounts with Nismo tax.

They do come in a nicer box that looks great sitting on the shelf though.  Worth it for that.......

Same thing with the Nismo gearbox crossmember mount. I broke one and bought a Nismo one. They are IDENTICAL. I've now mixed it up with the other standard ones I have, as even the casting part number in the rubber is the same, so I don't know if I'm using a Nismo one or not now !

Then they end up like this.

Junk. 

Went to the same place as the twins, the bin.

Lol always the exhaust side. I wrapped mine with gold reflective tape to see if it gives it a few extra years.

I noticed the Nismo engine mounts had the OEM part number in the rubber but I presumed this was due to Nissan using the same mold for both but with a harder rubber for the Nismo. I didn't see the need in creating two identical molds.

You gents think they are in fact identical parts ? It did cross my mind as a possibility...

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
