Ohhh and has anyone done this yet?http://www.nicoclub.com/archiv....html

One of the motor mounts is shot and the other fell off. I pored the mount yesterday but I'm just curious on other peoples experiences.

I havent done it yet, but I will be doing it on my sr. I can't see where you could go wrong. I don't think Greg would put something crappy on his car...

Hey man, I dont know if you would be interested or not, but I have a few local guys that all drive 240's. Im in Burlington NC and the rest are fairly close by. Anyway, we could meet up and help out or whatever. I also run a garage, so we have a shop at our disposal when we want to use it. We know of some events, but mostly one of our guys used to live in the VA mountains and we are planning MANY trips up there for some "spirited" driving this summer. Anyway, if you are interested, hit me up.

Well after I pored the mount I decided to ditch that idea because I found some polyethylene in solid cylinder form. They are stiff as a mofo

I was actually going to ask you how well those mounts you found worked out. Im thinking Im gonna do the method you posted the link to, see how it works. If they are formed right, I dont see an issue. They seem to be much more stout than stock.

Well I did that method and right after i poured them I found the polyethylene cylinder stuff..its insanely strong. But all and all the others looked and felt right in my hand, felt solid. they never saw the inside of the engine bay though...

Today we finished up pouring the liquids into the engine, and we are trying to start it but the timings off...nissans are a b**** to work on ffs.
