How to tell Nismo VS Stock

[gotta240]

How do you tell a nismo from a stock mount? The tranny AND motor mounts look identical to the factory ones IMO. WTF is the difference and how do you tell?

[markyboi]

i always wondered about this too
( so i dont get fooled if im trying to buy one)

[JoeC1982]

The Nismo ones are cheaper and have nicer packaging. i have no idea if they are actually better.

[sillyvia13]

there stiffer...
but look the same pretty much...
just get them from a good dealer...
240sxmotoring.com has em!! ask for jeff...
HES THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!

For the mounts, iirc, if you look at them side by side, the nismo ones should have more areas filled in. Doesnt have as much openings and gaps like the OEM ones. Most people make the stockies stiffer by stuffing the gaps and openings with polyurethane. Nismo just added more rubber i think.

Again this is what I vaguely remember from changing to nismo mounts back in 03.

I couldn't tell any difference when side by side. I guess i'll have to double check, but thats basically why i posted this...lol.

I mixed up some Nismo mounts with factory mounts and don't know whats what.

get a thing of window weld at ur nearest autojunk and call it done... fill them and be happy.. lol

My nismo (left) one has 11220 stamp on it.

I just installed some nismo mounts.
the difference is that they are really stiffer than stock, they look identical, yet are a much harder rubber and filled

You can twist and flex stock OEM mounts new and moreso used ones with your hands
YOU CANNOT TWIST AND FLEX NISMO MOUNTS with your hands

thats the difference

IMO, worth every cent, engine doesn't shimmy and my sparco now has vibration massage mode!:aw:

[louisdaboois]

imo, nismo is factory. lol

your opinion means shit, proof is what matters

the mounts are different.
I compared side by side Nismo mounts vs OEM stock mounts. BIG difference in material

control arms, tension rods, braces, are simply structurally re-inforced stock parts with harder bushings.


to say that Nismo is factory, is proving your an ignoramous

uhm. have you bought oem replacement shit from a parts store before? apparently not, cause aftermarket companies who sell oem replacement parts make them from a fairly better material so they can quote that it lasts longer than the actual oem product. for instance, motor mounts. a company by the name of anchor sells for 240's. they use hard rubber, much like nismo.
I'm sure you dont really understand what im talking about so let me break it down barney style for you. oem uses rubber. nismo uses rubber. so nismo = oem. So my statement for saying that nismo is factory. it basically is, jackass. unless they use anything besides rubber, its still factory. polyurethane or straight solid aluminum = NOT factory. THAT IS MY OPINON. and who the hell are you to say that my opinion means shit? dick

I am interested in these S14 Nismo front control arms, they look exactly the same but silver with nismo logo on it, does anyone run them or know if they exceed OEM standards? Thanks.

[thrOwsumDs]

last time i checked the rubber was hard as hell, and it seems to be filled in more. press your fingers into it and then do the same to a stock. huge difference.

[thejapino]

oem uses rubber. nismo uses rubber. so nismo = oem. So my statement for saying that nismo is factory. it basically is, jackass. unless they use anything besides rubber, its still factory. polyurethane or straight solid aluminum = NOT factory.

So by your logic, my oem wheels are aluminum, and my sparco's are also aluminum. BAM I have FACTORY SPARCOS!!! You're a winner bro.

[gotta240]

haha. great analogy

lol duh!

but i just dont see why people would pay top dollar for basically oem replacement shit when the same amount of money can get them a product twice as good. thats just where im going at.
