So Ive been putting off buying new motor mounts since I am a very broke college student. BUT I just got a surplus in student loans so I will be replacing all my motor mounts.

Yeah well from what I was told from the shop...all 4 motor mounts have to be replaced. I think they were only talking about the inserts so which ones would be the best option? I have searched around and people say homemade polyurethane mounts seem to work really good but I dont have the time or the skill to do it...I have read that if they arent cured long enough they will break. So anyone have any suggestions??

 

Energy Suspension motor mounts....

 

how much are they for a set and where can i order them from?

 

Thats providing that he has a 5 speed. Front mount won't fit. Cattman has them and i think someone was selling them in the GD's.

 

He has a GLE, he doesnt have a 5spd unless he swaped... so ES bushings are out of the question..

Your only other option is OEM or filled mounts(takes too long to cure and I dont think you have spare mounts)..

OR

Replace your front engine mount with a 5-speed mount and get the ES bushings, rear mounts are the same.

 

I do have an auto.

which are better, filled mounts or ES mounts? and would it be worth it to go the extra trouble for either of them?

 

how hard is it to get the inserts in there? that's my only concern because i don't know if i can find someone willing to punch out the material and put the inserts in for me and from what i've read that's what needs to be done. i don't have the time to look around for a place to do it for me.

 

They are probably about the same. I would just fill the ones you have.

 

I have an almost new front mount (auto) up for sale.

 

I have a OEM rear in excellent condition. $45.00 shipped if you like PM me.

okay so how many motor mounts are there? 2 or 4?

 

Three engine mounts (front, rear and pass side) and one transmission mount.

PM sent.

 

If he goes with a manual core and then the es insert, but remains auto he might trip a code.

 

How hard is it to fill the stock mounts with polyurethane? Is there a specific type of polyurethane I should use? and could I get it at a home depot or do I have to order it online?

 

I used Devon Flexane 94 on mine.

 

I did some searching...did you mean DEVCON? Is this the same brand?

Also where did you buy it...online?

 

Ya sorry I can't spell. Check here, I got mine locally from a distributer.

you can get that flaxane from mcmaster Carr. i paid like 33 dollars shipped to my house. Jime how do you like the filled mounts, any weird or excess vibrations? I haven't put mine in my car yet still waiting for snow to clear up. I noticed that these are really hard and just wanted to get some feedback on the 94 flaxane cause most people seem to get the 80.

 

Mine aren't installed yet either for the same reason but they look pretty. I'm expecting some vibration from the 94, but I am seeing some Z guys installing solid mounts.

 

oh well i guess i'll find out when i put them in.

 

Just wondering...what are the advantages of getting more solid mounts? wouldnt something that absorbs some vibration be better?

 

Its because most of our stock mounts are shot, and its too costly for OEM ones. Filling them will polyurethane is much cheaper and provide a good solid mounting point, but is not as good for reducing NVH as stock ones.

BTW, how long does that stuff take to fully cure?

 

on the instructions is says 3 days in 72 degree.

 

I just came back from the nissan dealer and got a price quote on all 4 motor mounts...$700!!!! but they would give it to me for $500...I was like wtf!!! and install would be 5.5hours!!! so all together it would cost 1G...

So how hard is it to replace the motor mount inserts? I have a couple of friends that go to autos class at the county college and they have access to a lift and all the tools...do you guys think these guys can handle the job or am I better off taking it to some shop?

 

Of course... you went to the local dealer. They live to butt fucc people in the @ss. Try getting them from a wholesaler like everythingnissan. You can get all 4 for under $300 from them.

 

So Jan, I didn't hear back from you on the rear mount. Do you still want to buy it or can I give another org member the option? Please let me know either way asap.

Thanks,


Ted, Chicago

 

sorry about that...I wont be able to pick it up today but tomorow after 5 p.m. will be fine

 

finally got the mounts in. Vibrate a ton when i start the car and moderate amount when idling. got to let go of the clutch real slow and give it gas to stop it from shaking sometimes. Kind of feels like the car is about to stall. Overall not too bad but couldn't see myself putting in solid mounts.

 

has Jime put his in yet? Id like to know what its like in an auto.

 

Plan on installing engine and trans this weekend. Just got my cams back and finished installing them.

 

Anyone knows where to buy ES motor mounts?
