dscheers: Do you have any picture of your installed damper? It would be great if you could share your picture


overZealous1: What kind of driving do you do with your Z? I wonder if chasis wont be bent/twisted/deformed/cracked and etc since the chasis will have to take the majority of engine vibration? I wish to know if this solid mount could be harmful in long term basis?

Thanks!

Interested... Always game for better throttle response as long as install isn't too difficult. Could it be a DIY in the garage with jack stands? How can you lift the motor enough for install at home?

i have been running mine for about 6 months. no probs at all. there will be no probs at all concerning the chassis. these would be a must have for anyone doing ANY type of competition. cheap way to remove some drivetrain losses and add predictibility to throttle responces. also very well suited for daily drivers that can tell the difference it makes. like i said, i use a thin set of rubber washers, and that helps a little for the vibration and not lose any of the effects.

you could lift the engine with a jack under the motor to lift it. just need to support it correctly and make sure not to damage the oil pan. in that situation, just do one side at a time. i will look at what it would take to do. getting the factory mounts out would be the prob cause they are so big around. would prolly be a big help to remove the tire to gain some access in the mount area.

Nothing bad.
Good: engine tilted notably less on the dyno runs after installed, which should give a (tiny) bit more torque...
