Front license plate mount bracket options?

On the fence deciding between GoMiniGo offset and Maoweraxle bracket. Are both adjustable in height and laterality from side to side?

I have the GoMiniGo one and absolutely love it. I was worried at first it wouldn't come with enough pieces to be long enough. I ended up with 5 extra washers and even more nuts/bolts.

It's only adjustable from side to side if you get the offset bracket. You can flip it 180 degrees and get two options out of it. There are 3 height levels. However, I've considered using the plate holes as added options to adjustment in height (this would give it 5 height levels).

The moweraxle mount cannot be adjusted (without modification) in any direction. It has a large steel bolt that screws into your towhook that then screws directly into the bracket.

Sorry to bump a dead thread.

I have a 2015 Nismo; is there any reason the P-Tuning Nismo version (listed as 09-12) wouldn't work?

False. The moweraxle mounts to the car but has 6 or 8 holes on the plate itself that allows you to choose the positioning you want it to be at. There are 2 different heights and 4 options left and right

I believe the length of the rod is shorter on the older Nismo's. Your best bet is to get the mount designed for the 15

PTuning sent me this measurement (pic below) for their 09-12 Nismo kit. Looks like about 8 inchs after the threaded portion.

I'll take a measurement when i get home today on the Nismo clearance.

I thought Nismo variants had to be longer due to the longer nose. Moweraxle has a longer one for the '09-14 Nismo than for a base, but one thats an inch shorter (than '09-14 Nismo)for their '15-16 Nismo.

Yes rod for the '15 will work fine.

Srry for the delay.

Took tape measure, got about 7 inches from toe hook mount to nose of car. To me 8 inches would stick out too much.

I called Ptuning and they said they don't have a mounting rod thats 7 inches with the right thread pitch.

I am going with the Mower Axle one specifically for 15-16 Nismo, since we know it works.

Ptuning did say they'll work on a 2015-16 one when they can get ahold of a test far to sample on. They were pretty helpful overall despite not having a solution that worked for what i wanted.

I received my Mower Axle kit for the 2015-16 bumper. Super easy install, Larry got it shipped out quick as well. 2 day shipping!

Is this at its highest level? Can it be mounted higher?

OptionZero · 02-15-2016, 03:22 PM

No, thats the lowest row of holes. If you use a higher position it'll be maybe an inch higher.
