your opinion is that the engine is pretty well centered in the compartment though....

If thats the case thats all I need, its just for rough measuring.

thx!

BTW - cheap spring compressors @ Harbor Freight, the small ones look like they'll work well on this stuff. I got the old style, full size one & its kind of a pain.

Hi edp, I didn't measure to centerline of engine, because the air cleaner is in the way.

I measured from right side to edge of valve cover. I used a bubble square for accuracy.

The cartridges that just arrived are Nissan, same ones you have.

So it's 612 +/- to the centerline of the engine then?

what cart's did you find & where? Not that I need any now, I've got two new sets.

Thx.
Evan

You are correct, I measured through the strut center itself, not the strut tower bolts. Sorry for the confusion.

Speaking of which, my new Nissan non-gas strut cartridges arrived today. Only took about 4 weeks to get here I am very pleased.

thanks DD, I assume its thru the strut cartridge shaft & nut, not the insulator bolts poking up thru the chassis.

thanks, Evan

Engine bay width, at a line drawn through the strut tower bolts: 1224 mm.

Engine appears to be exacty centered. Mine is, right side fender lip to right edge of rocker cover: 556 mm.

By they way, I know see my two fenders are different. Left side one has a tiny lip at inside top edge, it's only about 1 mm but defintely different than the other side.

could someone provide me with the centerline measurement of the engine / drivetrain of an A12/A14 in a coupe in the engine bay?

This would be between the fenders where they bolt to the chassis along the firewall lip/top.

Hopefully this makes sense (MM or inches are fine, whatever you got)

Thanks a lot
