Nismo Transmission Mount ?

[cobrAA]

Hello,

I want to make my car stiffer and remove the 24 yr old slack lol!! What's your thought on the nissmo transmission mount ? should I go with that or OEM NISSAN ? and is it a relative costly labour-wise job or quick to do ?

It's for a BNR32

Thanks!

P.S: Oh and we were wondering, could you replace the motor mount by lifting the motor a bit or you really need to remove the whole thing to swap these ?

Nismo mounts are marginally stiffer rubber than original ones. I'm sure you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between them in use. When I swapped in my new motor, I just put in standard Nissan rubbers.

The tranny mount change is really trivial.. All you have to do is support the gearbox while you get the crossmember out. For the engine, ideally you hook up an engine crane rather than support it from below, but there is no issue with merely jacking and supporting from below while you unbolt engine mounts.

Just pack your stock mount full of sikaflex.

personally i think nismo mounts are way too expensive for the purpose u want them for. either go for stock OEMs or aftermarket ones like Cusco or solid metal ones.

loved the cusco ones on my S13

I've got Nismo mounts all round now. Havent driven the car, but no complaints

Hard to compare, my old LHS engine mount was in 2 pieces when I pulled the engine out, so it feels nicer now, but thats to be expected

Thanks for the constructive replies.

One thing tho.. I didn't knew you could buy SOLID mount ? I've been browsing rhdjapan and yahoo auction and never came across these. I think I will also install the solid cross-member while I'm here.

Seriously, I have about 10-15 bushing to changes hoping to see an obvious difference next summer

Solid mounts are awful.

aftermarket japanese brands dont have solid metal ones... its the americans who are crazy enuff to make them... LOL

[89CAL]

Yeah expect alot of noise/vibration with solid mounts. No thanks.

Absoloutly nothing wrong with stock or nismo mounts.

You can easily tell the difference with just a Nismo transmission mount. This is not a subjective thing it's bloody stupidly obvious when you drive it and change gears. A very good upgrade and worth the money.

Engine mounts I haven't done because they raise the engine a bit and there isn't much clearance now to the strut tower bar. However comparing solid mounts to Nismo mounts is rather pointless. If you want to be able to drive your car on the street without ludicrous amounts of vibration then don't get solid mounts. If your penis is VERY small then solid mounts might somehow compensate for that in retarded non-logical kind of manner.

Hahahaha sig worthy

Just realised, I went from a polyurethene mount to a nismo mount so I cant really compare, the Nismo mount feels good but.

Guess I have a very small penis and/or I understand my skyline only do 3000km ish a year and is purely made for performance and I take my mercedes when I am looking for confort.

[89CAL]

Seriously.... There is nothing wrong with Nismo mounts. They will do the job perfectly fine and you wont lose 'performance' from having them installed

Solid mounts are insane unless it is purely a track only car, and even then I'd still put nismo, hardrace etc mounts in it

[hardsteppa]

Damn straight. I braced the gap in the stock mount with some very hard rubber.... Was bloody terrible, vibration city. New nismo tranny mount from japan off ebay was only $87 delivered. Win.
