Guest BadKarmaCreepin Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 after i bought the Z this weekend, i noticed that when you shift hard or accelerate hard, there's a loud THUMP from the rear of the car. the guy said it was missing bushings that were the culprit, and that the noise was the r200 smacking the moustache bar. is this correct, or is there another explanation? thanks. dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 I think Terry's probably right, first time I heard mine do that I thought I ran over somebody and they were bouncing off the floorpan. It probably is the front mount, thats why Nissan put that little 'security' strap on the front mount, doesn't work, but it looks good. Either replace the bushings and put some sort of real security strap (JTR does it with just vinyl wrapped cable wound around the front of the diff and mount and it works fine according to them), or get some solid mounts and live with a bit of noise. I'm cabling mine real soon. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 My 75 JTR V-8 had the cable and it would always loosen up. I tried solid and took them out immediately. That is when I came up with my own solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 Scottie's solution looks the best (factory looking) and won't ever loosen up. A primo example is on his web site. The JTR method would be ok for most street use and I'd personally stay away from solid mounts for street use. I think the combination of functionality and asthetics make the Scottie solution the best. Hows that for a plug, Scottie? Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
