So im having trouble finding rb25 gearbox mounts. 

All i can find is polyurethane mounts which im not interested in as my last 1 turned to jelly (it is extremely soft and i believe the cause of my trouble shifting at higher rpm), otherwise all I can find is nismo gearbox mount. I cannot find any solid options

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction before i bother fabricating something?

 

 

Just for context - it is a s13 rb25 track car with solid engine, rear subframe and diff bushes as well as every suspension bush and my issue being shifting gets sloppy in the higher rpm

Contact Toughmounts and ask him if he has anything that could be inserted in place of the Nissan rubber block. What you would likely end up with is a circular crush sleeve type bush like you see in suspension arms. You'll probably need to do a little welding.

I'd have a look on his site for you, but he only has facebook and I will not ever click a link that takes me to that seething shithole.

I would have thought there was an off the shelf item being one of nissans more popular gearbox

I appreciate the input but i wont buy something if i still need to weld and work it. i may as well start from scratch.

 

I thought there would have been a preferred mount for higher hp applications or do most run a nismo mount?

I previously used a Nismo mount, polyfilled the gaps. No issues with it. Had put a GKTech one in 3-5 years back ( I now do less than 2000 k's a year in this car) and when under there this weekend, found it has crumbled apart and the goo/crumble stinks like nothing else, smells horrendous. Will be putting the Nismo one back in for the time being but open to suggestions. Not keen on any more GK Tech products at the moment, also found one of their engine mounts has broken a stud, just snapped when I went to undo it. Also not that old, minimal k's.

ok I got to say - despite all the 'we welcome your feedback' crap, every time I've contacted them giving the details of my issue and the reasons why, I get pretty much a ' oh well that's how it is' type of reply. This is over multiple products since I've bought from them for many years, and never had them actually be interested too much in feedback. IE the mount stud breakage would likely get ' it's over 12 months old' , we don't know how it was used, etc. I'll just replace the stud.

Hmm. I've gotten pretty good outcomes from talking to them about things that I've had go wrong or ideas for improvement. Have had a lot to say about the R32 FUCAs, and they have sent out some replacement parts for those, gratis, on a couple of occasions. Mind you, I have bought a couple hundreds of $ of replacement rod ends for them too!

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
