Motor/trans mount options? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Since the OEM's are discontinued, what's everyone doing for motor mount replacements these days?

I want to avoid the suspiciously-cheap China-made replacements and the hard-core solid/polyurethane/hard rubber types. I have Nismo's now and they transmit too much vibration IMO. Are there any known OEM solutions from other cars that will work?

Thanks

and not the factory ones like I have? I would say look at engine setups that offer the same style...I think the RX8 has vertical like ours, my sti looks similar...but theres a lot of variance in the bushing material too that may cause NVH despite them being OEM from different manufacturers...a junkyard would probably be the best place to try some out and let us know how they work!
