Nismo Engine Mounts Question?.?.?

[mr skidz]

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.

That may be an SR thing. I always thought the Nismo mounts were just a tougher rubber, not bigger or smaller.

[iruvyouskyrine]

Yep they sat higher in my car (r32 gts-t)

[Duncan]

pretty sure gtr vs gtst engine mounts are not the same; and nismo gtr mounts are the same height as standard ones

[mr skidz]

Well that's good news do you have the Nismo mounts in your 32GTR?

Did you notice the height before and after have not changed?

I doubt there's any difference,

Dunno if you ve installed exhausts with v bands but if they were different I doubt i would have got it back together

[Duncan]

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

[mr skidz]

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

[Duncan]

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

[GTSBoy]

I think the use of quote marks around the word "upgraded" is probably very appropriate when it comes to Nismo mounts. When handed 1 brand new Nismo mount and one brand new VL Commodore mount I could hardly tell them apart.

[mr skidz]

I noticed there's a lot more meat on the nismo ones compared to my stockers, in theory that should reduce engine and g box movement which gtr do have a bit of in 1st & 2nd gear.

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.......

[Piggaz]

Then they end up like this.

Junk. 

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

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 !

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...

The rubber was said to be higher durometer, but there has never been any evidence of that in practice. It's just wank. A cynical attack on the wallet.

[r32-25t]

Anyone making decent power puts a billet mount on the passenger side now,
