Its time for me to replace the worn factory mounts. I'm hoping someone out there has decent quality urethane mounts that they wanna sell.

z1auto.com has them.

 

honsetly I would recommend just tossing back in OEM Motor Mounts. there are solid ones made but you will hate the ride if you daily drive your car.

Only spot really I would recommend running solid are the rear differential bushings and compression rod bushings on our cars.

here is transmission mount that I could find however its been discontinued.

here is the solid engine mounts they sell but would def recommend keeping URETHANE

Just spoke to Daniel at Z1 Motorsports in Carrolton, GA (about an hr away from me) and he says the solids are "god-awful" for daily driving.

SOOOOO...... Anyone have any decent quality urethane mounts?

 

these are the only ones I know of bro.

from megans website.

The blue mount isn't the transmission mount, is it? If not, this is gonna get REAL expensive.

 

I beleive thats both bro. motor mounts and then transmission mount

 

anyone who says a solid motor mount on a 350Z is 'god awful', likely hasn't used them

there are more than a few reviews of them on this site alone, on this car

 

I had them when I was ATI Procharged and I can state that they were pretty rough. Love the feel of how aggressive it felt but I did get more vibration out of my car...that was on my daily driver. A solid mount is all about personal preference and feel.....with the OP being a daily driver and not having a WHOLE LOT OF POWER its not smart to toss in Solid mounts....

Daily driving is not all the fun with solid mounts....but like I stated its personal preference and thats why I tossed up your items for sale if OP wanted to go that route

 

Id be curious to know why the OP thinks he needs new mounts in the first place? stock ones are quite strong

Will a solid mount transmit more NVH to the cabin? Absolutely - no way around that. Is it an awful/horrible experience? All relative.

 

This thread has veered severely off-course, but Y'know when you turn that small shiny thing and the you hear that "Vroom Vroom" from the back? Well when that happens, i see that big thing in the front of the car shake..... alot.

(In proper terminology since everyone has turned a "WTB" thread into a "lets question what he wants while belittling him" thread)

Original Post edited to prevent more nonsense.

 

I dont think we were belittling you at all just whats best for what you want to do to your car. I provided my opinion of having the solid mounts along with different links to different options. Your motor mounts may not be bad and it could just be the flex of your motor. You can easily fix that by adding in a torque damper for alot cheaper.

I think some including myself are questioning it because it is extremely rare for stock mounts to go bad unless there are significant extentuating circumstances. I don't see anyone belittling anyone. Bad mounts on a VQ make a racket in my experience. The only urethane set I've seen is Megan or Sunline Japan. Megan are cheap (no personal experience), Sunline aren't (never used those either). The others are either denser higher durometer rubber (NISMO) or solid

 

Noted. I must of taken premature offense. I just am tired of being shaken to death as i drive my car and i want to get it set up where it runs/rides smooth.

If anyone wants, they can call Daniel @ Z1 Motorsports in Carolton, GA to verify the information being given. (770) 838-7777

Well, thanks everyone that chimed-in. You all just saved me a few hundred dollars.

This takes me back to square 1; what's making the rhythmic vibrations; especially during turns? It's like... vibrate for 1-2 seconds; stop; vibrate for 1-2 seconds; stop..... this example is during a gradual turn on the interstate @ 65-70. I'm replacing the front and rear control arms and going from there.

 

did you check your Bushings up front?? LCA inner bushings?? dont think your compression rod bushings would cause that....

 

English, please. I'm a former 3000GT VR-4'er. If it isn't slang for a busted Transfer Case, i don't understand it.

 

lower control arms bushings...is your car lowered?

 

No. I have 20" Verde Kaos's. 245/40/20 all around. I have the control arm thing taken care of (just ordered front and rear).

What should be the next culprit?

 

you ordered rear control arms?

instead of just throwing parts at the car and hoping it solves it, get the car on a lift with any mechanic, and go through things in detail

it could be any number of things - wheel bearings would come to mind but impossible to know for sure without seeing the car
