Hi DanThe - there were replacement ones as far as I know - they fitted with the location lug etc.

Would you suggest to remove the shims and do something else to clear the exhaust?

Cheers

Hi Gent

Just for anyone else who may have the problem - the ones I have are from GSF. They were taller than the old ones that came out and much much stiffer.

We also raised the engine slightly with some shims as spacers and it does seem to have done the trick.

Thanks Fred and Jimmy

Lateshift managed to get some new and much harder compound mounts (also seem a bit thicker) and with those and some shims as spacers, I think we have enough clearance. Seems ok on the road, so just the track test to fully check.

Thanks again for your help.

It is touching on the knuckle joint (if that is what its called) You can see the marks on the exhaust - and it is only when turning left mainly when braking, but you can feel it when and hard left cornering is going on. Lateshift checked the mounting yesterday and made sure everything was tight - th...

Thanks MrBenn That is interesting - I am wondering if new or harder bushes at the engine mount would fix it. Local garage Lateshift Racing have done the recent work and think that might be the best option. Not part of Ajec - they did a lot of work on my car when I first got it - looking forward to a...

Hi MrBenn

Many thanks - I will go and have a look.

I take it this is what you went for and it sorted it?

Cheers

Morning Gents

Does anyone have any ideas of the best fix for this?

Thanks

Good point but, Ajec Racing fitted it and said it was a complete M3 unit with the power steering etc? It was an E36 non power version before that. Have just had the head, inlet and outlet manifolds changed over along with the exhaust off a late 325i. The Manifold and exhaust are different and larger...

Afternoon All Can anyone help with a steering/exhaust rubbing issue? I have an 1986 M20 (is that right?) 325i with an E30 M3 steering rack. Just put an M50 (about 1989/90) head on it with exhaust and manifold. Under hard braking/left turns the steering column is rubbing on the exhaust. I have read t...

unclemat

Just to let you know your original head, inlet/outlet manifolds and exhaust are now all on my chromie and working fine!

Cheers mate.

Morning agent006 I have tried to talk unclemat into this also - mainly so I can use his skill and knowledge as I attempt to work on mine! Key issue with a lock-up is security. Location would be very important. Would be good to have somewhere to work and store kit though - my shed is currently full w...

Mat

Get the photos on there and show everyone what you have done.

All - Have to say I have been lucky enough to see what he has had done and it is simply awe inspiring.

Mat - Still think you should keep it and use it!

Thanks Gents The company I am looking at are www.banburyflockingservices.com I think a dash is about £100 but not had that priced up yet as I am looking at having the rear seat area done too. They quoted £255 for a dash and 4 door cards. Was thinking of getting the dash repaired but need to see what...

I have found a place in Banbury which looks good. Does anyone know about the dash and if there is a difference? I am thinking of taking the spare one I have (face-lift) to get it flocked, the put it into my car. Would hate to do that if there was a slight difference between the two. Reason for this ...

Hi Gents I am looking to get my dash flocked and interested in flocking the rear seat area since the rear seats have been removed and I am looking at ways to tidy it all up. Can anyone recommend a good company in the South West/Gloucestershire area who could also fabricate something for the rear doo...

Gents Just to let you know I have decided to fix the Skyline and sell it. It is an awesome car and too nice to strip. The funds will then go into the E30 and still fancy a V8 of which I hope to come to you lot for advice on which engine I should be looking at. Thanks again for your help and thoughts...

Hi Guys

Just reading up on E30 V8's - loving his White E30 with the M5 unit.

Any idea what alloys he is running?

Cheers

Hunty

Gents - thanks for all the thoughts, comments and links. Much to think on. First thing it to get the RB rebuild done then make a plan from there. Do feel I am leaning towards fixing up the Skyline to sell then look at either a V8 or M3 unit for the E30 as a much more straight forward swap for the fu...

Hi Jason

Thanks for the note - very interesting to read - so you think I should seriously consider putting as much of the Skyline into the E30 as possible? The brakes are Brembo with new discs too.

You thinking keep it RWD but use as much as possible?

Cheers

H

Cook - thanks for the link - what a project that is - the end result is quite special by the looks of the posts he has on YouTube.

Think you have hit the nail on the head - this is my dilema and one that I am struggling with. I used to like Maths at school but that was a very long time ago!

Lots of cost research to do still...

Hi Mattrs The RB26 is an awesome lump - engine has had new forged Ross racing pistons, HKS steel head gasket, Excedy uprated clutch, Ball bearing turbos with steel rotors, HKS hard pipe inlet conversion and induction kit. It is mental in the Skyline so just imagine what it would be in the stripped E...

I had no plans to be in this situation - but keeping thinking that it could be something special if I took advantage of the fact the Skyline engine has to come out and be re-built... then why not put it into my pride and joy and then sell the bits of the Skyline that I don't need. Just can't work ou...

That is just what I am thinking - could be a bottemless pit for money and time. Think the RWD is my preference - was just thinking what could be used from the GT-R. I would need to get a gearbox from a GT-S and break the rest of the GT-R. So keep thinking... should I just put the Skyline back togeth...

Hi All I would appreciate thoughts and views on my current situation... I have a R33 GT-R Skyline that has to have an engine rebuild, not something that was planned but something that needs to be done. I also have an '86 E30 325 that is mid project build as a track day/weeknd car and I have been thi...
