Polyurethane bushings cause vibration? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

AyTDuzIt · 07-25-2012, 07:08 PM

Wussup guys so I recently picked up a s14, and the guy told me its got polyurethane bushings along with "drift" motor mounts... Its got a blacktop s14 sr20det in it, and when I drive its not all that....comforting. Car vibrates, panels tend to vibrate and what not which causes a lot of noise. So how would I go about making it a more relaxing drive and not have it sound like a jets bout to take off inside? Thanks.

Problem: Running shitty engine Mounts
Solution: Drift Freaq sells mounts. Buy his mounts.

just buy OEM mounts.. every other mount is going to be stiff to solid

Its a 240, you want something relaxing, go buy a luxury car.

Poly filled OEM mounts or JGS rubber mounts work well. Also might be a good idea to go back to good condition oem bushings in the suspension.

If your complaining about sound and vibrations why did you buy modded 10+ year old car? If you wanted a relaxing smooth ride should of got a used lux car or some simple 4dr sedan.

Get Nismos.
They'll shake for a week or two, then they'll soften up to the perfect stiffness.
I heard driftfreaq's mounts are quite good as well.
