Well I finally figured out what the "jolting" in my car is (posted my problem in an old thread. dunno if it was in this forum or on 240sxforums.com).... anyways.. went to the dealer getting the drive belts changed. i took the tech for a spin. cool guy with a 240 also.... i told him that i had previously only driven FF vehicles and the FR vehicles I did drive were new cars.. he told me that what im feeling move is the transmission cuz in FR cars when you send torque through the transmission itself will move (hence i feel it under my seat). he said if something was broke i would definitely know.

I asked him bout getting stiffer mounts.. he kinda didnt recommend it and likened it to the low riders always breaking their frames cuz of their super stiff suspension.. what do you guys think? I was thinking of getting the URAS transmission mount and the Nismo motor mounts... opinions on it shortening the life of my car?

i havent heard the shorter life, but being stiffer might in some way affect some minor stability IF YOU HAVE 209343857 HP AT THE WHEELS. but o well, i think kazama or something has really good ones, but i cant remember the right name...

jsut like more of the engine viration is felt like maybe some interior peices vibrating. or course i have taken most of my car apart and put it back together so maybe not everything is as tight as it once was. but the stock mounts are softer to make it more comfortable. but i like how the nismo's are
