Mikelly Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I'd recommend 1/4inch on the mount material... My JTR mounts are made of 1/4 inch and I still get a little flex/ movement. 1/8th inch would defenitely flex under boost. 8) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 mike, come on, it's a rotary! there's not enough torque to do any flexing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy95135 Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 i cant wait to see it at the MSA show. i want to see the look on the spectators faces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 The JTR talks about using plates to mount the engine...That is why they are so thick..(I had the manual, and I've seen the diagrams, and I know what you are talking about....) The stocko Nissan mounts are thin boxes.. My new mounts look a lot like the stock ones..except mine aren't heavy guage sheet metal. Plenty strong... You should think along those lines as well.. The JTR also is set up to mount the v8 to the stock nissan mounts on the crossmember.... mine...and thinking of the size of a rotary, his will be behind the cross member as well, and will likely end up being mounted to the frame rails themselves.. I'll post some pics of mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Oh and on the subject of the MSA show, A group from my club are trying to arrange shipment of our Z's to the show...if we can get the price down to a reasonable amount, you will see my black beast sitting at the show....hood open I might add... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Here is a pic of my passenger motor mount. You can see how this is much stronger, and would not require 1/4 plate steel. The reinforcing to the frame rail extends further aft of the mount..the drivers side is FAR more involved as it required moving the frame rail out of the way.. The top portion of the mount (rubber part is stock 300zxt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted November 12, 2003 Author Share Posted November 12, 2003 actually, that's how I was thinking of mounting the 13b block. The mounts are flat tabs with rubber mounts, and sit at the base of hte block. You can see what I mean in the picture. Notice where the flywheel is in relation to the mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
