nismo kid Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hey guys got great news! The mounts are now available! This joint effort was started 7/17/2014. After 7+months of hard work we've finally reached the finish line. With me living in San Antonio, TX and Dirty Dingo being located in Mesa, Arizona there was plenty of obstacles for us to overcome. The largest obstacle was Dirty Dingo didn't have possession of the vehicle. So needless to say there was plenty of shipping, pictures, long phone conversations, numerous let downs, and a few mis-communications too. But we have over come all these obstacles, and created something I personally believe is great for the Z31 community. I'm honored to have had the great pleasure to work with Dirty Dingo. Brent is a stand up guy. (Along with a Datsun enthusiast ). Without hesitation he took this project head on. And together we have produced a easily available bolt in LSX solution for the Z31. While keeping the costs down. When compared to other LSX mounting solutions it's easy to see Dirty Dingo offers more adjust-ability, and is vastly cheaper than a majority than other solutions on the market. I would like to thank all that have been patiently waiting. The wait is officially over! With all that said I would like to let you guys to know I am no way shape or form benefiting financially from the sale of these mounts. If you would like to purchase a set they are now available here at the link below. http://dirtydingo.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=1_354_350&products_id=1471 Dirty Dingo can be reached here http://www.http://www.dirtydingo.com/store/index.php or here https://www.facebook.com/DirtyDingoMotorsports These mounts were designed around a N/A crossmember. This kit makes use of the 1998-2002 LS1 Camaro oil pan. With the mounts installed there is about 3/8 of an inch clearance between the unmodified Camaro oil pan and the top of the power steering rack/crossmember. As far as the sump section of the oil pan its about 1/8 from the power steering rack. The engine mounts will run 159.99 in raw metal. If you would like them powder coated its a extra 15$. Both the mounts and plates are included for the 159.99$. I know the truck manifolds facing the correct way don't fit. I do know the 1998-2002 LS1 Camaro factory exhaust manifolds fit but I'm unsure about any others.* As far as trnasmission fitment is concerned. Here's a small list of people I know of that had done the LSX swap and what trans they used. Sorry if I had forgotten anyone but this is just off the top of my head. i r teh noobz TKO600 Satan Powerglide hpmotorsports 4L60E Wire guy 4L80E Bigcavolo T56 Myself RS5R30A (aka z32 transmission) Well I can't tell you exactly how the everybody else fit the other transmissions. (I just don't know) I would assume the one's that used manual transmissions only massaged the tunnel a little for the bell housing portion of the transmission. Then the one's who used the larger sized auto transmissions massaged the transmission tunnel a little more to fit the transmission. With the engine all the way forward there is 2 7/8in of clearance between the throttle body and hood. Here's a fair warning my engine/entire car are filthy. Now for some pics.
