WizardBlack Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 how is this coming along? interested in 280z mount kit and their protype oil pan due out here shortly. They have all the info needed for the mounts, AFAIK. I doubt it will take long to sell you a mount kit. I have not heard anything on a McKinney oil pan.

Wedge Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Sorry to drop in like this but i have the Mc kinney mounts to and i was wondering if you guys got new shorter bolts on your engine mounts or did you shim them . The original RB engine mounts were almost 3/8 thicker on the bloc side then the Mckinney and in the trans tunnel its just the "ears" of the 280z trans mount that i take off and not all the hump in their . Ill try to post pictures of what im talking about . Thank you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Here is what i mean you cut where the X is right . The othjer picture is to show the diffrence in thickness . I know i read somewhere a discription of where to cut but i cant find it . Since this a thread about Mckinney mounts i though id ask here . Thank you.

WizardBlack Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yes, new bolts. Yes, cut that portion off. However, those are separate pieces from the main reinforcement hoop. Just grind the stitch welds (on the fore and aft sides) and drill out the spot welds (some above the bolt flange and some below) and they will pop off. Clean the area up really good so you can see where the welds are. I have to notch a bit on the reinforcement hoop for the speed sensor to bolt in and have some clearance as well.

linluv84 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Does the same modification apply when using an RB20 trans or the Rick Wong mounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fast-datsun Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 RB20 trans no they stay.. Ricks mounts do not know but about the same I think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast-datsun Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Once we have new pans we will look at the engine mounts and make the nesessary adjustments. Orginal we designed for the ZR200 oil pan and the lowest possible mounting of the engine. Rips pan is a great pan but bigger in the front than the ZR pan. Hope to have first aluminum pan in 2 weeks.

kiwi303 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 2 weeks will be considerately earlier than mine. Good news is a magazine bought an article of mine so I'll have some unbudgeted for money coming in soon that will help putter around developing the pan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
