You arent lying. I tried a straight solid trans mount in my 370z and I tell everyone the story about how when I left the shop to drive it home, I wasnt even willing to make the drive back to the shop. As soon as I got home I drove up some 2x4s, jacked up the car, and rolled under there to swap the stock mount back in. YMMV but for me and my trans it was not tolerable.

I stuck with the Z1 urethane for engine and transmission. No idea on vibration yet as I'm at the same stage you are pretty much, just expecting much less HP

Coincidentally I was just speaking to someone on FaceBook about solid motor mounts a hour ago... since its relevant to this thread at the moment I will copy and paste my take on them:

I dont think youd regret the solid motor mounts. Lots of people have concern for the vibration... The VQ has very little with solid aluminum engine mounts. The only time you really notice a lot of vibration is when the starter is cranking the engine. But it actually feels kind of neat, like this firm sort of engaging vibration that makes you feel like you can tell exactly whats going on. When the engine is running and driving, you dont really feel any additional vibration unless you lug the engine (when you try and accelerate at too low of RPM and the engine bogs). Otherwise it just feels very positive and solid. Ive never heard of someone disliking solid engine mounts in a VQ Z. Now the trans mount, that is a different story. A solid trans mount is very loud and I dont recommend those.. I recommend urethane for those.

I just ordered the CJ motorsports solid motor mounts. This will go well with all of my other CJ Motorsport parts. I have a laundry list. LOL

You're going to need a separate trailer just for your parts for when you go to MAM to deliverer the Z.

I had them shipped to MA. I cheated. LOL

I splurged and paid more for the Nismo Red SPL solid subframe bushing. Ordered them from Z1 tonight also.

I noted the change of address to make in the system, and then I was like wait, I know this address.....

Thank you! I am only sad that you will be deprived of opening the box and playing with them.

If I get that intake one day and have it anodized red, that will be even better. LOL I need to see how it all fits together first.

I feel like im spamming your thread right now but we will have the charge pipe stuff worked out pretty soon. The engine is in the car now and we just finished building the forever intercooler reproduction jig for our normal intercooler. Any day we will weld on his intercooler mounts and lower end tank, then we will fix it up to the car and do a 3D scan to design the upper end tank and charge pipe around.

No worries. I needed motor mounts anyway and now I don't have to use the ugly Z1 mounts. I got perty ones.

Not trying to hijack Spoolers thread but your inbox is still full. Did you have a chance to get the level sensor mounts machined for the twin pump set up? Thanks
