240Z_Master Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Stainless Steel Mounts Tig Welded New engine insulators with washer, split ring, and lock nut Complete here, everything you see is what you get. (240Z Style transmission mount) Packaged almost ready to go... Clearance on both sides I believe is sufficient Clutch slave has no problem here Two lock nuts for the transmission (you must use the stock transmission insulator) Ground clearance on a lowered Z seems good to me. The car has full urethane bushings and Tokico 1" springs to give you an idea. Front crossmember clearance with RB20DET (200ZR) pan is good US Driver side looking back towards the rear US Driver side looking back towards the rear US Passenger side looking back towards the rear I've got one set available right now. All hardware is grade 10.9 and the mounts are made from stainless steel. If you are planning to run a RB20DET/RB25DE trans, I can also make a transmission bracket for that. $400 USD Dollars + shipping (I figured this would be a reasonable price with all the nuts, bolts, hardware and new engine insulators since McKinney sold his mounts with nothing for $650). Contents of the kit... (1) RB Mount Left (1) RB Mount Right (1) 240Z Style Transmission Mount (RB25DET/RB25DE your choice) [260/280 styles coming soon hopefully] (2) New Engine Insulators And all the needed nuts and bolts grade 10.9 for this swap (to mount in the motor and transmission).

Ed260Z Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Looks real nice. When will you be making the 260Z style tranny braket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 Looks real nice. When will you be making the 260Z style tranny braket? Hopefully soon! Still working on making it fit right. If not, I will have plenty of the motor mounts available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JAMIE T Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 What sort of clearance is available for exhaust? It looks alittle slim. Your mounts look very nice. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 What sort of clearance is available for exhaust? It looks alittle slim. Your mounts look very nice. Great job. I plan on running it right below the mount, almost tucked under it. Once the motor is closer to running, I'll fab up the exhaust system and take further pictures. For right now I'm just going to run 2.5" mandrel bent stainless all the way. (I know I want a 3" setup, but not right now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed260Z Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Isn't the 3" almost mandatory when your running a Turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 Isn't the 3" almost mandatory when your running a Turbo? I have an existing mandrel bent setup that's 2.5"... when I upgrade my turbos is when I'm going to update my exhaust at the same time.

kcelectronics Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Just A thougth but could you eliminate the 2 "spacers"on top of the trans mount and bend the flat stock up at the sides to give more room for the exhaust ?

kcelectronics Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 also eliminating these "spacers" would allow shorter bolts to the floor pan and increase the contact area of the side of the square tubes, and reduce the twisting down of the rear of the mount by reducing the leverage on the longer bolts/spacer? I hope I have explained this well enough? Colin:twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Those are some VERY nice parts there guy... Like post above, I think the trans needs to go up in the tunnel more, and the flat stock could use to be like a L shape to keep it from sagging over time due to trans weight, and gravity... New designs always get tweeked upon... yours need very little of that.... Looks great !! joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240Z_Master Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 Colin:twisted: I will definately change the mount' date=' I like that idea better.... something like this right?

240Z_Master Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 Some more tinkering and I think I can just remove the spacer on top altogether. I believe I will have enough firewall clearance and transmission tunnel clearance to do so.... something like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusPuppis Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Thanks for that! Your Fairlady should be rocking the streets soon too! We can only hope, lol. A year.. Maybe more. Really though, those mounts kick ***. I want to go RB so damn badly it hurts.. Who knows.. If money makes itself available I may be ordering a set from ya =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkenmaster Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Looks like a well sorted kit, very interested to see how the 260Z trans mount works, is there a time frame on that? Also a question to the above, are you worried that lifting the gearbox might affect the tail shaft angle? I know it is a bit forgiving with angles, but I am not sure how much you have to play with.

kcelectronics Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 If you can get away without the bend in the flat stock all the better, I was just concerned about the leverage created by the length of the spacers, and at the very least it probably would have allowed the G/box to "bounce/flex" up and down, but eliminating them will allow a bigger contact area between the Sq tubes and the floor-pan area.
