Yeh so you reccomend.. Is the car uncomfortable to drive with the mounts or as normal? Coz they aren't exactly solid they are just nismo poly urethane right?

Reason I wanted to as I saw it on the dyno and the motor moves a shit load, then Scott was trying tighten the wastegate and as he was pushing against it the whole motor moved. Don't know if fkd or just how it is but I didn't like it. How do you rate 'Megan' stuff? $250 +ship for engine and gearbox mounts, they are pretty much the nismo ones with a different brand stuck onto it

I used nismo so no idea on Megan, but vibration I did not notice any difference.

I only found pro's no cons.

and yeah they are a very very stiff mount not billet or anything thus "solid"

WIll prob get an engine dampener as well soon to make it a bit stiffer again!

less vibration = less wear in my books

You can have my damper if u want I can't use it because of the heat shield. Let me know if u wanna take it.

You will feel more vibrations on idle, if you are fine with that go the harder material. I'd prefer the factory mounts.

It's got a lumpy idle from cams, so if I can tolerate that I guess a little vibration shouldn't be anything IDE worry about

yeah but if the vibration is causing some plastic to rattle behind the dash or something, that would drive me insane lol

f*cking sick people getting me sick. Stay the f*ck home if you are sick. Got a holiday next weekend, i better not be crooked.... 9 days to get over a cold? Will be a close one...

Lol 9 days to get over a cold thats heaps man. 2-3 days is all you need

I did solid mounts all round. The revs determined which new part of the car rattled and at what volume. It also made bolts and screws undo themselves lol

Don't blame the sick people. I've been crook with the flu for two weeks and if I so much as dared to take a sick day (some days I've nearly collapsed at my desk) I'd be spoken to like I was doing the wrong thing and not setting a good example.

But 9 days, good luck. Hope you've got a good immune system, this one is nasty.

i had two bouts of flu/cough/sorethroat combo each about a week long and bad enough to give me shakes and night sweatswith about a week recovery in between. still coughing from the last one, and i leave for a bucks weekend on thursday.

lol yeh fair enough but not going full solid, jus polyurethane solid

f**king STOP IT!!!

lol its my iPhone, it automatically does it IDE never talk like that

hence why not going solid but solid

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
