Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Put after market engine mounts in my 93 gq desiel they are sh#t . the thing rumbels like a water tank on wheels
I was told that someone makes mounts that take the chassie rattel out that is there under 1000 rpm . I am told they cost about $400 any one know anything about them

Give me a buzz at work 03 97618111.

what engine mounts mods do u do cheezy?

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.

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.

Got aftermarket ones and like many aftermarket ones didnt fit properly.

No other problems really other than the struglle to fit.

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

FYI,
"On Track 4x4" are also doing aftermarket engine mounts.

mate i got some killer shutter when i release the clutch, even more so when its in reverse, but its not bad when im driving. ive been told it could be engine mounts.
can anyone help

Definately sounds like engine mounts mate.

happened to my 4.2 petrol.turned out to be loose rivets in pressure plate. pulled it out.tightened them up with punch and hammer.that was 4 years ago.problem fixed and still going hard with same clutch

cheers guys, i just had the clutch done last year, but i guess it could be. What should it cost to get a mechanic to change over the engine mounts

Why don't you have a shot yourself? Its easy as pie.

fair call mate, i checked them out today with a mate, they r stuffed. your right, looks like we will have a crack at doing the job, might just stick with the genuin nissan mounts or u think we should get some after market ones

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.

cheers coxy, ive ordered the genuine units today, and will have a crack this weekend, thanks 4 your advise mate

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

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

Can you describe the sound more? ie. revs, gears, accelerating or braking etc.

all good mate, the motor wasnt sitting 100% perfect. but its still got a slight humm or a grone when ya really put ya right foot into it when ya driving , sounds like its the right mount, and then on the left when in reverse, bloody strange shit

Anyone using the cheezy on on track 4x4 mounts? How are they?
