SR20DET Alternator hitting HICAS Junction - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

caall99 · 06-26-2005, 12:52 AM

i just swapped in my blacktop with some solid urethane engine mounts and i have come to realize that my engine is sitting a little crooked in the engine bay. it is slightly tilted to the right when looking at it from the front. the right mount is sitting all the way down in its slot, where as the left one is sitting at the top of its slot. also, the alternator is resting on the HICAS junction, which may be the reason for the tilt. is this normal? i know there were HICAS equipped silvias in japan, which makes me wonder why HICAS and the SR20DET are not getting along in my car. anyone have any suggestions on how i can fix this problem? anyone encounter this same problem?

i guess no one has had this problem... oh well...

Either the mounts are on the wrong side, it's not fully seated in both, or the mounts are shit.

when mounts are fully seated do they always slide down all the way in their slots?

aznpoopy · 06-27-2005, 12:59 AM

yes...

what kind of mounts do you have

how is the mount seated? got a pic?

i have gladman performance solid urethane mounts. stiff as shit. unfortunately i don't have a pic of the mounts on my car, but i have a pic of them on another car, with a ka24de.

and by the way the mounts seem to sit well. they are both all the way down in their slots. are all sr20dets at a slight angle in the engine compartment?
