60 A Liquid Urethane MCmaster Carr $48 product , tax, and shipping. I think i had enough to make 3 but i didn't. Because i thought it would only make 2.

This only has a 15 min work time.So you have to have everything ready.

 

Nice! Those look great. I have all my old mounts from the swap because I replaced all of them with new mounts. I eventually want to do this and keep the set as spares. What method do you use to line up and keep the center pin/guide/whatever aligned during the pour?

 

I do not disconnect it. Picture a band of rubber running to both sides ,still holding the metal tube. I don't take it out. I keep just enough to hold the metal piece. I do this to make it easier and it makes the mount ,have a stock like feel.

I have been making these for 15 years. The car i raced with and ran 12's with slicks 15 years ago used these. And they still were the same ones after 15 years. I took them off and used them on each of my newer maxima's.
I don't think the'll ever go bad.

But i take a lot of rubber out ,even some metal on some.

But these are for sale,not for me.

 

I see, so you keep a web of material in the center, is that right? Sounds like fun. Care to post links to the materials you used?

Its the 8644K24... $33.33

Two orders of it can probably do 5-6 mounts. Can be bought much cheaper (in bulk)but i was just doing a couple.

Manual mounts are much easier to prep. But i have used auto mounts also.

 

Sweet! Thanks!

 

amazing man, so this isnt for your max? i wanted to know impressions and feedback?

 

Sorry been busy.

I have driven maxima's with these for years. At idle ,there's more vibration ,not much.

But when you have all four in,over 4 bad ones,feels like better throttle response and a 10-15 HP gain.

Feels great,power meant to move the car ,goes into the beat and broken mounts and moves the drive train instead. When the power goes to the wheels and not lost,it feels like a power boost.

 

no worries man, so yes these are for the maxima, holy cow ! sounds awesome, i have stock on mine for sure at 253k, im curious how impactful it would be (automatic). im definitely tempted because i feel this huge delay in throttle that i never ever felt before on this car and i suspect is stuff like this that is so ancient.

 

Original mounts at 253k? Replace all 4 and it will feel like a new car!

 

Check your engine codes.

Clogged cat converter and bad knock sensor will probably be your biggest power robbers assuming the car isn't misfiring. Motor mounts can usually be felt and heard, and may need replaced but those are something a noobie could inspect in under 15min. You just gotta look and see if the rubber is still in good shape

 

What’s that pink stuff? ... it looks yummy.

 

looks like play sand so he can position the part to be perfect for the urethane pouring, good idea OP!

 

lol ! im all good there man ! my point was im on stock mounts from 2002, im sure it would be nice to replace. and if it wasnt so late in this cars age it would be a no brainer. but not sure how much a shop would charge to change them. dosent seem like an easy driveway do it your self thing. so again may not be entirely worth it now. sigh

 

Its not that many bolts. This is a DIY forum, outsource it if you want. With air tools I think it's an easy job, without the worst part would just be cranking the wrench/breaker bar.

 

ehh daily driver, and super novice with turning wrenches (over think things) seems like a lot of work, and wouldn't you need an engine harness(engine lifter) to lift the engine to access/replace the mounts?

 

No .You don't take them all out at once you do them in steps. So they can hold the power train.

Put the car on ramps ,then put a jack with a board under the oil pan.You drop the cross member first.

Then take the two mounts off with a impact. Loosen the bolts first on the car if you don,t have an impact.

Then you do the trans motor mount ,then the PS side motor mount.Or vice versa.

I'll do it for you ,if you want to drive. For a small fee

 

def considering your offer ! ill let ya know, prolly keep it the same though....:shrugs: such a fine line on this old relic.....i plan on keeping it going but trying to be practical...

 

Hi Krismax,
I have a question about motor mounts. Are all motor mounts center aligned? I was thinking about doing this myself, but my original motor mounts are soo worned out I can't tell what was the original position when they were new.

Thanks.

 

i need a how to do to this ! it so so temping, but i gotta have it wrapped up in one weekend ! daily driver. man this is tempting...... i need new mounts no question.

 

Gonna go ahead and jump in here, is there a noticeable difference with urethane side mounts? I always thought it wouldnt matter much since most of the stress is put onto the front/rear mounts. Im also running a NWP torque bar so in my case it probably wouldnt be worth the effort. Just curious on what effect these have though.

 

i am gonna do that NWP torque brace bar if I do my mounts (all 4)
