Adam@Z1auto.com Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Just received a nice urethane transmission mount for the 350Z/G35 (manual transmission) that I will be trying out in my car. Construction is very nice – billet T6 6061 aluminum, with a 75a durometer urethane insert. The sleeve for the bolt is already installed so it should be a drop in replacement for stock. We’ve noticed the factory mount has alot of lateral play to it, which contributes to a bit of a vague shifter feel. On the urethane one, the entire center section is filled in, giving it a much sturdier mount vs the stock one, which has alot of give (see last pic). The stock mount is about a 40a durometer by comparison. I am hoping for big things from this little mod, as it should make shifting alot more direct and precise. More on it later in the week when we install it. If it works out well we'll do a batch and have another neat product to add to the repertoire! new mount: stock mount: Quote
dcash5 Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Adam - Your'll probably be able to answer this once installed but does this transfer more vibration to the cabin. Having replaced gearbox [Transmition] mounts on previous car, not a 350z, to prevent the manifold [headers] cracking there was a noticable increase in noise/ vibration? Dan Quote
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted November 10, 2009 Author Posted November 10, 2009 will let you know as soon as it's installed Quote
Adriank Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Pah dont be a girl Dan Once i have the cash available, im going to get the solid engine mounts and one of these (when available) should make a noticable difference, particularly with the Witeline traction bush kit... Quote

Adriank Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 You do need coilovers, i have my BC Coilies going on the 24th Nov, along with Adam supplied Moonface Racing Roll Center Adjusters :-) This will go with the whiteline suspension bushs i already have on the front, and the whiteline ARB's. A few more handling bits to go on after this, but it should be good. Quote
