So im having trouble finding rb25 gearbox mounts. 

All i can find is polyurethane mounts which im not interested in as my last 1 turned to jelly (it is extremely soft and i believe the cause of my trouble shifting at higher rpm), otherwise all I can find is nismo gearbox mount. I cannot find any solid options

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction before i bother fabricating something?

 

 

Just for context - it is a s13 rb25 track car with solid engine, rear subframe and diff bushes as well as every suspension bush and my issue being shifting gets sloppy in the higher rpm

Contact Toughmounts and ask him if he has anything that could be inserted in place of the Nissan rubber block. What you would likely end up with is a circular crush sleeve type bush like you see in suspension arms. You'll probably need to do a little welding.

I'd have a look on his site for you, but he only has facebook and I will not ever click a link that takes me to that seething shithole.

I would have thought there was an off the shelf item being one of nissans more popular gearbox

I appreciate the input but i wont buy something if i still need to weld and work it. i may as well start from scratch.

 

I thought there would have been a preferred mount for higher hp applications or do most run a nismo mount?

      2004 Subaru Forester X Under Cover craziness!

      By Apache23 · Posted

      Trying to find the plastic under cover for an 04' Forester X. The main under cover that covers most of the front of the vehicle under the engine. This has turned out to be a crazy experience. Normally I can find parts for vehicles, if I have the correct info, no problem. But not this! The Forester is a non-turbo btw. In a Forester parts catalog, for model years 03'-06', it shows part# 56410SA070 as being the correct part. So I go to the local Subaru dealership's website to order it. I type in the part#, hit search and there it is, the under cover. "DOES THIS PART FIT YOUR VEHICLE?" I type in my VIN# and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle. See Similar Parts For Your Vehicle." I click on that and part# 56410SA000 comes up. Looks absolutely nothing like the previous part. Not even close. So I go to a different Subaru dealer website and put in that 2nd part# (56410SA000) and "This Part Has Been Replaced By" 56410SA070, which is the first part I looked up. I thought OK, makes sense. They replaced the strange looking part, with the one I looked up first, so I add it to the cart. "Does This Part Fit Your Vehicle?" I type in my VIN#, and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle." I've basically been doing this with various parts suppliers and dealerships, for the past 4 hours! Does anyone know what the hell is going on?? Thanks in advance!

      And finally, I had the driver's side airbox off while adding a long drain hose under the oil can to down near the oil filter. Doesn't look good, it has definitely had an turbo oil seal leak and looks like it has been for a long time.....guess I'll have to get a pair of highflows to put on the shelf It's also worth mentioning it has a really strange clamp between the bottom of the airflow meter (which has a big barb/lip on it) and the intake pipe. I've used the magic of MSPaint to show, basically you have to clip out those 2 steel springs which unlocks the hose from the AFM. I used 2 flat screwdrivers, the spring sort of clips into the unlocked position. Reassembly you just pop them both back flat once the hose is far enough up the AFM that the spring clamp is above the barb. Weird to use but much more convenient once your'e used to it compared to trying to do up a hose clamp under the airbox like on 32 GTR

      The other thing I started was a fire extinguisher bracket.  As with a few other cars previously (350z, Leaf), I'm going to add a bracket between the navigator seat's front bolts, then mount the extinguisher on that. Unfortunately Nissan (probably the same engineer who did the A/T fluid interwarmer) decided that the front seat brackets would be recessed and uneven so the bracket shape was a bit tricky; I ended up doing 1 part under each seat mount (the large hole is because there is a flange under the seat mount to allow for the carpet thickness)   and then a horizontal part between those 2 No final pic yet as the paint needs to dry, I'll post up once that's done
