Noticeable improvement after Nismo Mounts installed - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hi,

I just finished swapping an SR20DET motor into my s14 chassis recently....And, I also did changing all those engines mounts and transmission mount along with the swap.....Before the swap, the car has Megan Racing Coilover along with the aftermarket adjustable Rear Upper Control Arms, Tension Rods, and toe rods......

After driving the car for about 300 miles on both freeways and surface streets, handling has been improved.....It's really obvious that driving noises has been reduced......Furthermore, the car is a lot easier to control......The engine hasn't moved that much compared to what happened with before the swap....

So, I wanted to say that I am really pleased Nismo Engine and tranny Mounts....

Recommended....+++AAA+++

Less weight of engine... Mounts just make the engine more stable for more noticeable torque?

yeah i agree, great upgrade for engine stability, helps a lot with shifting gears and most importantly cures wheel hop! Handling is much more improved too due to less engine movement.

lol. engine mounts do not cure wheel hop. they may help in reduction of wheel hop, but cure is the wrong choice of word here.

I agree that NISMO mounts (eng and trans) are worth the money. I would never go back to std mounts again and I dont have enough power to benefit from solid or urethane mounts.

my bad i meant to say it doesnt make it as bad but on my car with subframe spacers i barely even notice it when i launch hard.

would you say your pleased with your megan hard suspension parts too? like ruca, toe, and whatever else you got? not talking bout the coilovers. solid quality you'd say? or just poo that you got for a temporary solution.

i got cusco engine mounts with peak performance tranny mount with tein coils...its not that bad only when it idles other than that i feel its well worth the vibe the motor doesnt move at all

I got mine filled and makes the car vibrate a lot more along with feeling the shifts more.

Just a thought? Have anyone else tried Liquid Nails

I just filled in the mounts to where their just one solid mount.I've pretty much used it on my last 4 cars that I have put on the track. I can say 1st hand that nismo has NOTHING that solid. Or am I just a guy with a funny idea.
