I have a custom made mount that bolts straight in. It is a bush type mount that has a bolt running through a rubber bush holding the two halves together. They come in two types, standard height and raised for lifted SWB. Unbrakable. :D

Yep, i'd be keen to see them too. I bought genuine ones after breaking aftermarket crap ones. Havn't broken them yet, and that's with 35 claws & a turbo. either that or i'm not trying hard enough.........which I'm sure I'm not.

No other problems really other than the struglle to fit.

Next time I'll do it right - unless it gets a V8 :D

Don't waste your time with aftermarket ones - go for genuine units, or modified (better) custom ones as per above.

In the mean time, give the bolts a quick quirt of WD40 now so they don't fight their way out when you get around to doing it.

You'll need a trolley jack and some 2x4 timber to prop up the motor too - jack it up from the sump, and use the timber (and a rag if you want) as a buffer so you don't dint/mark the sump with the jack.

No problems, just remember - safety first! And don't try jacking up the motor until you've unbolted the engine mounts. :D

Around the $150 mark each for nissan engine mounts.............will also pay to do gearbox mounts at the same time but I went repco for these as nissan wanted $180 each for the gearbox mounts but repco was $55 each....

Definately go genuine nissan engine mounts but gearbox mounts time will tell?????

I did go aftermarket engine mounts last year and it was a waste of time and effort as they didn't fit well to start with and failed soon after installing.....I now have a genuine set in mine...

I'll second that, except mine fitted up fine. They just didn't last, and i'm yet to replace them.

i got the engine mounts 4 $110 each, and the gear box mounts 4 $170 each, and that was from nissan. we got the engine mounts in on the weekend but it was a misson, i think we worked out ya have to do the passager side mount first, bugger.
that fixed the 'clutch shutter' but now there is a fair grone at low and high revs when driving. is that normal, cheers
