Don't make the suspension bush ones unless its a race car. The vibrations are terrible!
I ran 2x VL mounts in my ute and cained the ass off the G16B, and never had a drama. You won't break one.

I have bush mounts in my daily and I can confirm the vibrations are a PITA. Good for finding rattles though

OK so I guess it is the R30 mount (6cyl) - Which way do you use it with the cradle side to side or fore and aft? |

The metal bit goes wider bit to top and skinny to bottom from memory. Grind of the locating pin. |

Grind of the locating pin. Is that the only mod required for the mount to fit? Anyone got a pic how they exactly mount/fit up?! |

Being in the states I am wondering if we have a comparable mount here. Always looking for something better than the stock mount

Are they from what we call a Nissan pathfinder over here? Or a nissan with a 6 cylinder? |

I don't think so. Its an 87 model. Probably would have fallen under the GMC/ chevy banner, but I don't think Holden GMH was sending commodores to the USA back then. You guys were all still hooked on the V8's

Looks like the r31's are the same mount. |

Our r31's are square but the VL's were a Holden that used the RB30 because the 5L V8 didnt meet the new emissions or something. Commonly used by the bogans to do skids. |
