I dropped in a new motor in my Gsr a couple of months ago and it sits a little crooked and make the entire car vibrate like crazy. The car was in an accident which may have something to do with it, but is it possible to put it in wrong? i figured it would straighten itself out but it hasnt.

LOL There is nothing but the truth in racing. nothing just straightens itself out. No praying either.

 

time for a new car yo.....once the frame is bent good on a uni-body car there is not much you can do to get it back to perfect alighment...

 

did you use correct mounts

 

yeah i used stock mounts with Es inserts. So you guys think its the frame? I dont know how it would be possible to install the motor crooked but i wanted to see if it has happened to anyone else, because the last motor sat fine

 

I never seen a motor crooked. Show a pic

 

did you hook up all the mounts correctly. i dont think it could sit crooked but for a couple of reasons

1. not bolted into the mounts correctly
2. missing mounts
3. wrong mounts( trying to put an h22 into your b series mounts)
4. some part is not installed correctly and is hitting something.. header or IM or something.

pics would help immensely

 

well if he said its been in an accident...it must be the chassis
which means our crooked motor'd friend needs a new car
edit* how bad of a crash? and pics plz

 

Take a pic so we can see

 

The crash was pretty bad, so i wouldnt doubt that it would have affected the frame but the only reason i'm not sure is because the previous motor was fine. i'll take pics tomorow and post them up.
