R/T Mount Group Buy. 2nd Batch. Who's in...

[Zs-ondabrain]

So you've probably already seen the other "R/T mount" thread hopping along the front page. Well, Here's the official New Thread for another run of the R/T Mount Group Buy.
$65. That price includes........
1 Fully bent, brilled and welded R/T mount for your S30 Z car in Raw steel Shipping to all lower 48 states via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 day)
Delivery Confirmation (which lets me know you got it, so no tomfoolery here)
Price covers Paypal Fees, fuel costs for delivery & pick-up, packing etc.


[SIZE="3"]If you are in Canada and wish to purchase an R/T mount, Please add another $10 to the price to cover the international shipping, posibly different packaging and the "Oh So Fun Paper work" that comes with Canadian orders.

I can take Cash, check or money orders made out to David W. Irwin.
If you're paying through Paypal please send your payment to wolfin32z@yahoo.com Please use the "Note to seller" to tell me your screen name and what you're paying me for (R/T mount) as I sell 10+ different S30 related products.

If you'd like to send your order thru the mail, please make your check or money order out to David W. Irwin and send your order (with what you want) and payment to me at...........

If you have any questions, Please feel free to ask away, either here or at wolfin32z@yahoo.com

The R/T mount that I am selling is below. Unlike the one you've likely read about on HybridZ.org My design includes a 1" x 1" bend in the corner to allow ease of instal near the fuel and brake lines.

The R/T can be used 1 of 2 common ways.
Option #1 is to use a standard Urethane Bump stop, PART # 99101 from Energy Suspension, mounted to the R/T (with 3/4" shave off so it fits snug against the top of the DIff) and the diff remains mounted to the stock crossmember using your stock Nissan Front Diff mount. This option will "Sandwich" the diff and keep it from moving up or down during heavy acceleration, launches or sudden deceleration. The R/T mount will STOP the Dreaded "Clunk" associated with worn or torn diff mounts and prevent further damage.



Option #2 is to use a GM Poly Urethane Transmission mount from Energy Suspension Part # 3-1108. Using this mount will not allow the use of the stock diff mount and it must be removed. The GM mount is a failsafe mount and will not seperate like the stock mount does. The diff raises on acceleration and the GM mount compresses with that raise, so no "Thump" anymore. The GM mount also lowers the front of the diff by about 3/4" to 1" which is supposedly ideal for use with Motor and tranny upgrades such as LS1, SR20DET, RB25, 26 and 30 DET and DETT's as well the Borg/Warner T5 and T56 trannies. Maybe even the Tremec 5 and 6 speeds as well.


The R/T painted black with a non shaved bump stop (thanks for the picture Kenz240z)..

Payment sent for $65. Also please let me know if you got the payment for the harness yet

[TBone028]

Can someone help point me to a full-write up of how to install the R/T mount? I've tried searching but couldnt find anything that was a "step-by-step" outline or guide. I will most likely be going with the bumpstop method if that helps.

Dave, what is the lead-time on these? I'm assuming you need to wait for 50 confirmed orders?

[Zs-ondabrain]

Here's a couple.....
This one (below) has great pictures to show how it's installed.

Post #2.....
http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=37518

27 pages of info in various places, have fun reading this one....
http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=36463

I prefer the Bump stop option.
lower the front diff and crossmember mount (4 bolts)
Remove the diff strap (4 bolts)
Install the R/T mount using the 4 bolts that held the Strap.
Raise the Diff back up and measure the distance between the top of the diff and the R/T. transfer that measurement + 1/8" to the Bump stop (P/N is in post #1)
Shave or grind off the excess then lower the diff again, install the Bump stop and rebolt up the diff and crossmember. Done

Hope that helps, a little?
Dave

[Zeshin]

Dave,

This is Lloyd.
I'd like to also order your "Headlight Harness" and " Parking Light Harness" at the same time as one of your "R/T Mounts."
I was hoping you would be able to combine shipping on these products.
I also e-mailed you, so if you could provide me with a total price that would be great.
Thanks!

[Zs-ondabrain]

Loyd, Email send. Ignore the "Write it in the thread" sentence, as you've already done it. Thanks.
Dave

[barichardson]

Paypal sent. Thanks.

[ncolz]

Hi Dave -

Just sent you a paypal

Cheers,
Glen

[Zs-ondabrain]

If yu don't see a (*) next to your name on the first post, then please let me know how you plan to pay or if The check is on the way, so I can update your name. As far as I can tell, there is only 6 left.

Dave

[mazdatsun428]

Put me in for 1, Dave. Pappal coming shortly. Thanks again!

[SoCalJDM240z]

Please put me down for one.Payment sent via Paypal.

[gnosez]

BTW, the use of the GM tranny poly mount does not exclude you from using the stock diff mount. If someone needs proof they can come look under my 240 at the upcoming ZCON event in Nashville....it has over 6,000 miles on it so far.

[Zs-ondabrain]

Scott, I put you on the list on the 1st post. Thanks for your order.

Dave

[Zs-ondabrain]

ONLY 1 LEFT!!

Last Chance. When they are gone, I think they're gone for good. Or at least from me. So hurry up if you're interested.

Have a great week,
Dave

[Gary in NJ]

[ChrisB77]

I'm in. Check is as good as written.

[Zs-ondabrain]

They should be ready to ship by Friday the 30th. Thanks to ALL who jumped on board and made this a workable Group Buy!!

Dave

Are they done yet? Are they done yet? Are they done yet?

Sorry, caffeine just kicked in.

[Zs-ondabrain]

Wow! Bart. a little Impatient are we?

I've been told the 30th. That's what I'll stick with unless the metal shop proves otherwise, and I don't see that happening.

Relax, Be Patient my friend. Your goodies will come in a timely manner. Fix your Signature yet? it's not like you don't have time.........

No problem. My checks now show the correct house address thanks to you.

Dave,

I am interested in your R/T Mount, if one of your orders falls through. I also sent you a PM. Thanks.

[Zs-ondabrain]

Well, I haven't heard anything from Chuck496 or Yetterben yet. They seem to have dropped off the planet.

So If I haven't heard anything from them after mid next week, then there will be 2 extra's
open for sale.

So guys, if you havent sent payment or at least contacted me, you're "This Close" to losing your Reserved R/T.

[Zs-ondabrain]

you're on my other list now.

Dave

[Zs-ondabrain]

ChrisB77, Yetterben, Chuck496.........
Last chance, I'll be picking the R/T's up real soon and if I don't hear from you or recieve your payment soon, Your R/T will be GONE.

Please let me know what's up.
Dave

[texasz]

Dave,

I'll take one!! I don't know how these threads all slipped by me, I never saw any of them until today.

I presume that these are better than the solid diff mounts because the allow for some absorbsion and isolation so they do not transfer the sound into the cabin. Fantastic part!!

If you have more I would buy more than one, just let me know and I can PayPal payment immediately.

Thanx again!!

P.S.
What are the other Z parts you sell? I know of the head light relay...

[Zs-ondabrain]

I've already been emailed about the extra's but may end up with an extra or 2.

Brian bought 20 of them. I think he plans to Powdercoat them and sell them as a kit, complete with bump stops or Poly mounts. We'll see.

Dave

Dave,

I'll bet you have!

Why only make 50 if there are orders in excess of that? How about 75? Or 60? Or ???? If it's an initial funding issue I'll pay for mine up front to keep your out of pocket expenses down.

[Zs-ondabrain]

Cause I didn't wanna have too many and have peolple flake out on me. It's not a product that I wanna sit on for a while. It's just easier to make 50, sell them over a 2 week period and move on.

The only real reason I did another batch of 50 was because BrianZ8 wanted 20, so that made selling the other 30 a little easier.

I'll let ya know how it goes.

I'll ship the Canadian Orders tomorrow. Tonight is my 20 year Class Reunion and I have a LOT of stuff to do before we leave this evening. Thanks to all for your patience and orders.

I also found out that the Laser-cutting shop that cut my metal shops steel, made a mistake on the first batch. NOT the ones I'm delivering. Those are fine. But the first delivery only had the 2 outer holes and they weren't ovaled and there was no middle hole (for the early 240Z's) so he's gonna get back to me and let me know if I can do a discounted run. I'll get back to you guys on that and it'll be a ways out there, maybe a month or so.

Thanks again,
Dave

[240zdave]

So, Dave, are you still waiting for Yetterben, Chuck496 to send payment? I'm still interested in one R/T mount if they are out of the picture. Let me know. Thanks.

[Gary in NJ]

Great Dave, I look forward to seeing it.

Have a great time at your 20th. You'll find that:

The chicks that were hot, aren't
The athletes, aren't
The nerds still are nerds, and get paid well for it
The people that you'd wish you'd never see again for 20 years...well, you'll just make that wish again.

[Zs-ondabrain]

I sent out 2 Canadian Orders yesterday.....

Stovepipe..........1
NorthernZ..........1

Many of the orders also include another upgrade (HLH, PLH, ZXP, or SCP) so they will hopefully go out this week as well.

I think Brian Laine (he bought 20) Plans to Powder Coat them and sell them as a Kit with a Bump Stop. So if I run out, he'll likely have them for sale later on but I'm not 100% sure at the moment.

Thanks again guys.
Dave

[mbarjbar]

Dave,

Sent $ through PayPal, don't see my name on the list.....

Mike

[rexz]

Don't know how i missed this.. If you have a just in case list put me on it please. I know it's late in the game, but who knows..

Thanks Rex

[Zs-ondabrain]

I only listed the original First 50 buyers. I'm actually knocking Chuck496 off the list and Ben is pretty close to the same action. I think Chuck may have sought one elsewhere and he has 1 post on his name, so there ya go.

I'll ship it out tomorrow Mike. See there, patience pays off in the end. Thanks for your order.

REXZ,
I'll let ya know, there are a few in front of ya.

Dave

Dave,

Sent $ through PayPal, don't see my name on the list.....

Mike

[mbarjbar]

Alright Dave!

Look forward to getting it. Man you are patient. Having the thing made is probably less of a PITA than dealing with us customers

mike

[Zs-ondabrain]

That's kinda what it's all about though. Little pain, frustration, money and new customers and friends. It ballances out eventually.

Of coarse I'm patient, I have a wife and 5 kids. If it weren't for patience, none of us would survive. Have a great week.

Dave

[72zeta]

hey Dave thanks i got my mount on monday now i just need to get my r200 so i can install everything at the same time Muchas Gracias!

Thanks so much. Fast and awesome quality, great price too!
Appreciate all the time and effort into developing and making available.
Take Care

[Zs-ondabrain]

For any who missed out on this group Buy, A friend of mine bought 20 of them, had them Media Blasted, Powder Coated in Black and is selling the R/T's as a Finished Kit with a Black Urethane Bump stop. Here's a link to his site, where he also sells some other 240Z ONLY stuff..........

http://www.technoversions.com/DiffMountHome.html

At only $7 more, it's a hell of a deal.
Dave

[northernz]

Stovepipe, did you get yours yet? Mine has still not arrived, must be hung up in customs,either that or Canada Post delivered it to the wrong address AGAIN!

[Zs-ondabrain]

They always say 6 to 10 days but who knows anymore. I pay priority price and they send it when they want, and customs is a P.I.T.A. I shipped them both on the 7th. So figure 6 to 10 business days and any hidden Holidays ya'll might have.

Dave

Also got a few more heading out in an hour or so to...... Glenn C. - Bryan H. and Richard in Victoria and Lloyd L.

[vercingetorix]

Of coarse I'm patient, I have a wife and 5 kids. If it weren't for patience, none of us would survive.

I have a wife and four kids and we survived(sorta),all out of the house now and its like living with my girlfriend! So you have something to look forward to!

PS I've been meaning to tell you that the defrost switch you fixed for me is a beautiful thing as well as the third brake light. Thanks so much.
H Houghton

[Zs-ondabrain]

Glad you're happy with every thing thus far. I obviously aim to Please.

I always look forward to the future with just me and her. We let the younger daughter go to her cousins for 2 weeks, she comes back and the freshly cleaned house is in Shambles. She don't like me right now cause she's on "Clean it up or spend the next week in your room without ANY electronics" Duty. This house WILL stay clean, or there WILL be Hell to pay.

Dave

[Stovepipe]

Stovepipe, did you get yours yet? Mine has still not arrived, must be hung up in customs,either that or Canada Post delivered it to the wrong address AGAIN!

Mine arrived Monday, so probably any day now, if you didn't already get it.

Thanks Dave!

Got mine today! Thanks for arranging another run Dave! Now to find time for the install!

[jumblies]

Thanks Dave.

Any advice for getting the GM mount lined up with the RT mount and R200 bolts?

I placed the mount when I did the R180 to R200 swap. The RT mount fit perfectly in the tunnel, but the nose was offset about 1" to the front of the hole in the GM mount. I loosened everything and slowly raised the nose. Rearward prying on the diff (tensioning the mustache bar) was needed to get the R200 seated far enough posteriorly. Since people will ask, yes, this was an R200 mustache bar. I had to take the rear control arm hangers and sway bar down to get the bar back in.

[Zs-ondabrain]

2 ways to fix that. only a handfull of people run into this issue.

1) Unbolt the GM mount from the R/T, redrill the hole closer to the rear of the R/T but make sure the mount clears the back plate of the R/T.

2) Turn the R/T around (180 degrees) redrill the hole on the top plate to match everything back up. The fuel lines will need to be raised a little due to you turning it around.

That's not what I was looking for, I actually wanted to have a conversation with him. Though thinking through this I did follow the Purchase link and got the info I was looking for...I wanted to know about shipping for more than one unit and the PayPal purchase page actually answered that question (it doesn't always).

Dave , Thanks for posting this link. Still working on my sons car. Put a header on it for him and Got 2 1/2 " exhaust installed today Sounds great except for the "clunk". Found this old thread-yay.

Still looking for pics of the rear lower control arms. I think someone flipped a left side arm and installed it on the right if that's possible.

[Arne]

Still looking for pics of the rear lower control arms. I think someone flipped a left side arm and installed it on the right if that's possible.

Normal. The two are the same part number, one is flipped over.

[Zs-ondabrain]

What Arne said, no such thing as Left and right. That's what makes it a great part.

[torker]

Aha. It sure didn't look right. At the front bushing it is rubbing metal to metal. I looked at the rear one thinking it would have more clearance and maybe it was pushed towards the front but it is close too. On the drivers side with the a-arm flipped over there is a lot more room at the bushings.

[Zs-ondabrain]

Left side...


right side....
is flipped over so the right side mounting tubes (that the bushings slide on) are the same as the left side in relation to front and rear.

Confused yet? Try these instead,
Dave

[torker]

Dave, Your work is so awesome. Very clean. I got my R/T mount from the link you provided and a new factory isolator today so hopefully it is goodbye clunk.

[Zs-ondabrain]

Well Thank you. I try. Glad your happy with it. All those new parts should do the trick.

Also glad Brian had some left to sell.
Dave

[texasz]

Dave, Your work is so awesome. Very clean. I got my R/T mount from the link you provided and a new factory isolator today so hopefully it is goodbye clunk.

Agreed!!

Another great part Dave! I got mine a few weeks back...ok, over a month ago. I ordered two since they are in short supply, one for my Z and one just in case I get another Z that I want to keep.

[Zs-ondabrain]

**CHRISTMAS SPECIAL**

I have 3 R/T Mounts for SALE!! They are Raw steel (uncoated/painted)

http://www.technoversions.com/DiffMountPurchase.html

[Zs-ondabrain]

This is for you guys. I just figured since I couldn't keep up with orders before, that there may be some more folks looking for an R/T mont for their S30.

So here ya go. http://www.technoversions.com/DiffMountPurchase.html

[Zs-ondabrain]

Thanks to the 2 of you who actually ordered from Brian, He made sure to call and tell me he got 2 orders this week, and that I was mentioned

We both appreciate it.
He still has plenty left and it's a complete kit too.
Link is in posts above,

Thanks,
Dave.

[Zs-ondabrain]

I keep getting emails, asking if I have the R/T mounts available. I do not have any at the moment.
Brian at Technoversions still has some available that are Powdercoated and come with the ES Urethane bump stop or GM trans mount (Machined to fit your diff correctly) for an additional price.

http://www.technoversions.com/DiffMountHome.html

Not trying to bump the thread, just letting all who ask that I do NOT have any, but Brian does.
Thank you to Mike for hosting and to all who have purchased from me in the past.

Thanx for all the info Dave, I ordered my R/T Mount yesterday. Can't wait to get started on my R200 swap. Still traking down some parts. Hopefully getting a speedo gear tomarrow off a salvage yard 280zx.

Read on another posting that someone had clearance issues with the rear swaybar after installing the R/T Mount with Option #2, GM Mount. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanx

Hey, no problem. That's what I'm here for.

I think the clearance issue you heard of is when the larger flange is used or when the R200 is too far forward or back.
There's always the Bump Stop with the stock mount. That will sit the diff at the correct height.

Brian says "Thank You and he still has some in stock"
Thanks again guys.

Any chance of another group buy? I for one would be all in!

No need for a group buy, they are available pretty much all the time at http://www.technoversions.com/DiffMountHome.html

I'm just finishing a rebuild, restore on my 1973 240Z. I have a big clunk form the rear end when I shift. The drive shaft and axils are solid, very little movement in the universal and axils so I’m sure it’s the differential mount. I ordered an R-T diff mount and the GM transmission mount. It looks like it will be here in the next few days. The question is can I just remove the stock mount and the strap and slip this in or do I have to drop the differential completely to install the new mount. I have been reading everything I can find on the R T mount but cannot tell what the job will be.

Just installed my fourth R/T mount in my 73. Remove the 4 bolts from the driveshaft and hang it aside. Loosen the 2 nuts attaching the diff to the mustache bar as much as you can without removing them. Remove the 4 bolts holding the bracket that holds the diff mount as well as the bolt attaching the diff mount. Remove the bracket. Now remove the diff mount long bolts holding the diff mount. Remove the 4 bolts holding the diff strap and remove it. Install the R/T mount (saw off 1 1/2 rings from the bump stop before installing). It takes some coaxing to align the holes (a big hammer and punch). Reinstall the new diff mount with the long bolts. Reinstall everything. You may need to remove the exhaust also, but that depends. It's a super upgrade......you'll love it.

Thanks Diseazd for the fast response. I'm looking forward to driving with a solid drive train. I've been real easy on it because of the bang in the back. Looks like less them an hour of work the way you explained it. Thank for the info and thanks to everyone that has helped me and all the information on this site. It's on the road for the first time in 28 years. 4 years of weekends to take it apart and put it back together. It was worth it. Feels like when I first got the car 36 years ago. I’m very excited.

My diff mount came off in 2 pieces . It's a 2 1/2 hour job, but by just hanging the diff off the mustache bar, it saves you a ton of time. The hardest part is getting to the driveshaft bolts and lining up the holes on the R/T mount.......Go do it!

[Zs-ondabrain]

You're using the GM Mount so You'll have to, or would be better off, dropping the diff downwards in the front. The GM Mount Bolts to teh top of the diff and the 2 bolts that hold the stock diff mount need to be removed in order to do that.

Lower the diff by dropping the cross-member and loosening the 2 large nuts on the mustach bar. This will allow it to drop more than normal.

Remove the strap and instal the R/T mount. Place the GM mount stud into the R/T mount top and just thread the nut on a few turns to hold it there.

On the diff,
Remove the 2 big bolts, remove the lower diff mount, place the bolts back in the diff without the washers, place one washer on each bolt on top of the diff, raise the diff so the bolts go through the holes of the GM Mount. Then put the nuts on to hold the diff to the GM Mount and slowly raise it to make sure it's all aligned before bolting it all together and tight. Once you're sure that it'll all go good, bolt it down.

Tighten the nut on top of the R/T, tighten the 2 large nuts on the back of the diff (mustache bar) and bolt up your cross member without the lower diff mount.

*CAUTION*
The heads of the 2 bolts may try and hit the cross member. IF this happens, just remove the cross member after marking where the bolts hit. Use a ball peen hammer to dent the crossmember enough to allow the bolt heads to Not hit when mounted. If it rubs when driving, you'll hear it in the cab and it'll be loud and drive you nuts.

I've installed about 6 of these using both the bump stop and the GM Mount. Bump stop is easier and sandwiches the diff on the upper and lower. Unless you're doing a V8 swap, I suggest you do the Bump stop instead of the GM MOunt. ($12 for 2 at your local auto parts store.

Thanks again for all the help. I have the mount in hand. Can anyone tell me what two nuts and bolts I will need to bolt the GM mount to the diff so I will have everything ready when I lift the car off the ground. I have a stock R180 rear. I hope to get it done Sunday before the big game.

[Zs-ondabrain]

The same 2 bolts that are already holding the diff mount to the diff. about 4" long with the nuts and washers on top of the diff.

[Diseazd]

I would recommend using the bump stop.......not the GM mount. It's a lot easier install. You'll need to cut 2 of the little circles off. IMO

[philbar73]

Thanks everyone. The RT mount and GM mounts are in. All went well; I wish I had a lift. Maybe 3 hours of work. The only tough spot was breaking the 17MM (big bolts) that held the old mount to the Diff. I had to take off a back wheel to pull on the breaker bar. The car was off the ground so no big deal. The rest of the bolts had been out 2 years ago when I cleaned up the body so they came out easy. I haven driven it because I'm having a bung put in the exhaust for an O2 sensor now that the pipe is out of the car. My wife gave me a fuel/air gauge for Christmas. I should have the pipe back tomorrow. I could see a little play in one of the universal joints on the passenger side axle but very little. I'm going to run it and keep an eye on it. I'll let you know if the clunk is gone. Thanks again for all the advise... Hope you have a great day
