engine bush

[NeX]

hi there,

i am in need of a stiffer engine bush for my k11

i need the drivers side alloy mount with a stiffer bush, can anyone help me out?

thanks!

i fitted some rubber pads to mine ralph, i was checking my wheel balance last week with 1 wheel jacked up in 5th gear @ 60, and when i hit the throttle again the engine felt like it was jumping out the car !
these on the top and side g/box mount stopped it moving forwards and backwards, but there,s still no cabin vibration

Fill the gaps with body filler?

the engine was,nt moving up and down tho paul, nor twisting against the shafts, it was solely bouncing forwards and backwards, there was a 5mm airgap from these stock pads, so about 15mm of movement !
i was expecting a trade-off in vibration.....but none

thanks for the replies guys,

i need to stop the engine moving left and right, i have about 1 cm of clearance and i know the bush won't be enough. i need a really stiff bush like a poly bush, i just don't know if there is anywhere i can get a stock bush.

i don't want to have anything that needs to be press fitted,

i could try and fill the mount but i don't think that would be enough

Matt Humphries does polly engine mounts Nex (have a look in my blog i've got a pair) they do a great job of keeping the engine still but theres alot of vibration back into the cabin! Franks solution should do the job for you & keep it comfortable, otherwise Matt may have some Nismo bushes knocking about.

turn it round dude they smack out easy if you use the right size socket (and the g/box one it you want to shift that GA over a bit)

thanks Skinner i will give Mat a call,

interesting idea Frank, but what is to stop them rotating or dropping out again?

rotating it will give me clearance but there will be more rubber, i need it rock solid really.

thanks for the suggestions guys,

no, they,re a snug fit ralph, so it wont move inside the mount, and some rubber wedged into the 2 offside holes will shift it over some more (and will stiffen it) like i did to my rear g/box mount
