DMax hood fitment

[the head]

As is seeming to be quite common I have an interferenace problem with the front of my valve cover and the hood when running the nismo engine mounts...does anyone not have this issue? If so what mounts are you using?

[hustlervibes]

I'm assuming you're running a KA and the nismo mounts lift up the KA an inch or so and the DMax hood was probably designed with a SR in mind. My YF hood has a similar probelm, but barely rubs. Just get some lower motor mounts and you'll be fine.

it rubs SLIGHTLY
can cut out underneath or raise the rear

2 of my friends have aDMAX
on a s13 silvia face and a flip up s13 (180sx)

nothing u cant make work

In addition to the above..filling your old engine mounts with polyurethane adhesive or sealant is an option to help make things work out.

Like a number of other people on the forums I refilled my old motor and transmission mounts with construction grade polyurethane adhesive and called it a day for mounts. I may end up venture into making custom solid mounts out of aluminum or some other metal.

I lowered my engine slightly by grinding the slot on the frame [both sides] where the engine mount bolts on,unbolt the engine mounts to the frame raise the engine , use a die grinder and a carbide bit and lengthen the slots down the frame then work the engine down a bit lower
Give it a try might help!

Dousan,

any idea how much interference we are talking? I can get a 1/4" from chainging to URAS mounts is that enough or not?

the mounts sit pretty much in the middle of those slots.... i can see that only effective in lowering one side of the motor while raising the other. unless of course youre on stock (blown) mounts that flex downwards LOL

Kazama mounts sit the lowest, and reduce engine movement the most when compared to other aftermarket mounts.

anyone have any specs on excessive's solid aluminum mounts?

Who stocks the kazama mounts?
