I don't know what you speak of. It hardened for me just fine, nearly every time. Here's a pic of my CA20 Mount pulled apart.

It does harden, and it does work well. BUT!

David, You didn't pull the mount out and cut it apart. What you have done is wrap poly around it. Which is next to pointless. The oil filled cavity that is the motor mount is still open, and will still flex. Not as much, but you probably only hardened it by 15%, instead of 65%. That is IF it decides to stick to the mount. Also, they're being put under the compression of the motor. If you want a stiffer mount, they need to be filled without the weight of the motor on it.

RedneckAug 19, 2009, 11:19 pm · #853

When you get some money I would recommend the Nismo motor mounts unless you want something really stiff. I have them on my s13 and they are great for a daily driver and are only about 100 bucks for the pair. I got the tranny mount with it as well for 150 and its so much better than the horrible stock mounts. For your track slut though I doubt your gonna spend 100 bucks on just the motor mounts .

yeah iggy, plenty of people use window weld and have great results. maybe you got a bad batch?

only thing that sucks is, i can never find it, the local homedepot doesnt seem to carry it.

a loews just opened up, i havent checked there yet.

i got mine at autozone..

and jay wrapping poly around it, or w/e you call it, did wonders it worked very well i am pleased..

i jacked up the engine from the oil pan before i added it also

David BAug 22, 2009, 7:48 am · #856

heres a viewing of the suspension and how well its been doing, the home threaded tie rods are also doing well also, changing the tie rod ends was a breeze, good to know.. also got rid of some toe out on the front right it was kinda ridiculous

JayYes, but pointless

well my friend sold it to me for 25 dollars... never used.. and my s13 friend wants ignition coil.. so im selling my stock one for 15

brewster240Aug 26, 2009, 3:50 am · #865

sell him the msd for 35.

make $10 and dont fuck with what works fine, instead of spending $10 to put on useless crap.

David BAug 26, 2009, 4:13 am · #866

well if i ever swap to like kat or sr cant i use all my iginition shit like this and the box etc?

JayAug 26, 2009, 4:19 am · #867

David Bwell if i ever swap to like kat or sr cant i use all my iginition shit like this and the box etc?

Once again, that box you picked up, and that coil. are useless for a KA-T until you reach 400 hp.

the stock ignition system is great, and I have tested stock KA coils that put out >50k Volts. Which is more than any MSD I've ever seen put out.

And SR's use Coil On Plug setups. So no, if you go SR you can't use either the box or the coil until you go standalone. and completely balls out with the motor.

JayAug 26, 2009, 4:28 am · #868

David Bi see... well my ignition cut is making me mad.. ive been trying to replace it all to see if it will stop

Ignition cut? There is no ignition cut on the KA.

Are you talking the rev limiter @ 7k ish?

sinestroAug 26, 2009, 4:44 am · #869

isn't the red line on the ka's only like 5500 anyway?

JayAug 26, 2009, 4:45 am · #870

David Bnoo 3rd gear and 4th and 5thmy shit cuts around 4-5 k on load.. reason why i tap the gas alot

That sounds like the ECU is getting pissed that it doesn't know how fast it's going to me.

Is all of the wiring on your transmission still hooked up, but using the S12's Speedo gear and cable?

The SOHC get's pissy when it knows it's going fast, but doesn't know just how fast.. Disconnect all the connectors on the transmission (so it never knows what gear it's in) and give her a shot

Another option is to throw in an automatic's ecu. That may do somethin for ya

Do it. It's yours anyway. The auto ECU will have a 99.999999 percent chance of solving that.

Plus, when you need to move it, It's 5 minutes to pull it out of your car, and plug it back in to the S13

i cant use a manual one in the s13? the only time its getting moved is fromt he street to my garage when i pull it

JayAug 26, 2009, 5:04 am · #874

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure something about the manual one flips out and goes haywire. But it can't hurt to try.

brewster240Aug 26, 2009, 5:45 am · #875

david i had the same problem with the ka i swapped into that old hardbody of mine.

it feels like it just shuts off right? and then all of a sudden comes back on?

auto ecu seemed to fix it, and another guy on the truck forums had the same experience.

Sick progress, like the pics. Much <3 to how many S chassis you have in your current possession.

David BAug 26, 2009, 6:39 am · #878

k i probally dont need the coil... its unopened... so ill sell it lol. maybe try to return it at autozone for store credit! did some reading on the ig system... might as well keep the box... but ill leave the coil alone

David BAug 26, 2009, 6:57 pm · #879

Those tires are good. A bunch of my friends always run those and love them. The car is looking sweet these days I also think it surprisingly looks really sweet with the no hatch! :-)

If thats the case then You guys are going to love what I have planned for my track hatch.

Driving without the hatch is fun. Nice and breezy with no cross winds

silvia loveAug 27, 2009, 1:36 am · #884

David Bnoo 3rd gear and 4th and 5thmy shit cuts around 4-5 k on load.. reason why i tap the gas alot

do you have a genuine nissan dist cap and rotor? aftermarket caps suck ass, they shit out all the time. take the cap off and check that the terminals arent burnt up or corroded.

do you possibly think too, that maybe the stock fuel pump cuts out on you? hillkill had problems when being sideways in higher gears like yours. his car would cut out on him then come back. i think he ended up figuring out his gas was being swooshed around and not making it into the pump.

just 2 things to check

JayAug 27, 2009, 3:33 am · #885

IggyEGuanawhere u get the azenis and how much?

Drove around with no glass in the back for awhile, and no rear quarter windows and no sunroof.... awhile like 6 months. It was an adventure. Rain sucked though, walmart car covers are crap.
