[What are you guys doing about engine mounts?]

Here's the J's engine bay. You can see I have little to almost no room to even had a clutch master cylinder on the driver's side.

 

Regarding the suspension, from what I know, the front suspension is from a Maxima (never really confirmed), and the rear is that funky multi-link setup from a Z32. I have the Z's engine and auto tranny. Judging from the pics I've seen of the Z32 engine bay, my shock towers seem to be a bit taller up, and seem about the same width apart.

 

Oh, and very nice write up on your project. You have some VERY detailed information there!

 

Also, I've actually thought about getting a Q45 engine, but have always figured, if I'm going to go this route, then why not just drop in an LS1

Hi BRAAP. For an LS, of course.

 

Currently, I'm in the "Curiosity" stage. My J's engine died at 190k miles, and have been reviewing my options and what the cost of an LS swap would take. I keep seeing the LSs on eBay. Tranny wise, not sure. J never came with a clutch pedal, so wedging one in there would be interesting. But for costs sake, I wouldn't mind sticking an auto in there....for now.

 

J would make an interesting sleeper, though. It has PLENTY of space for a true dual exhaust. So yeah, I'm thinking X-pipe, Borlas...muaahaahaaa Only thing is budget constraints ATM.

Hi all. I have an Infiniti J30 which comes with the vg30de engine. In Japan, it also came optioned with the Q45 4.5L engine. I also share the Zs tranny, and rear end, so I'm hoping that many of the parts and advice you guys have, I'll be able to use.

 

Are the engine mounts and tranny mounts you guys using custom, or is there a shop fabricating them?
