engine mounts

Anybody ever change out their old mounts? If so did you go OEM or aftermarket?

Why did you go OEM instead of aftermarket? Some advertisements are showing with cars over 450hp, you should upgrade to aftermarket. You're thoughts on that?

And thanks for your reply.

Let me repeat what was just said. :ahem: :::clears throat:::

NOTLEC SUCKS

Get OEM, or there's also a writeup on retrofitting Ford (F150?) motor mounts to work.

And let the record show that I had 550bhp with OEM mounts, no problems.

No, but it's definitely not making 550bhp right now. LOL

its broked! whats wrong with the aftermarket ones? i just got poly mounts (which taking out the old rubber and putting those poly ones into the mounts SUCK) for my talon and everyone claims they are amazing for wheel hop in the AWD but make the car vibrate like a beast! which i know mine will with full poly mounts and the removed balance shafts. ugh

The Noltec mounts for Z32's routinely fall apart.

Here's a crappy pic of one doing just so...


Some links with quotes:
http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg...&forum=general
less than 50 miles on it, parked it 4 months, moved the cars, found the noltec mounts dissintegraded on the garage floor
http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg...&forum=general
We have recently discovered on one of our personal cars that it is possible to "melt" the Noltec Urethane Motor mounts.
...
Noltec advises to always run the proper heat sheilds on manifolds and they are not be interested in covering any warranty claims against their products due to heat damage. Unfortunately, there are plenty of Z32 guys with upgraded turbos or manifolds no longer using these sheilds.
