Hi guys,
So I finally managed to get an old Z car. (I've had a few 350z's before - The HR model was particularly nice) but this old car is growing on me.
It's an 81 S130 2+2.
It drives pretty good for an old original unrestored car, however, when I get on and off the gas pedal, I get like a jerking sensation as the power is transferred to the diff/wheels.
I've been under the car briefly and pretty much all the engine mountings and bushes in general look like they need replacing. There is also a host of ball-joint looking joints everywhere (this suspension is very unfamiliar to me - the car is around my age).
I plan to change out all the mountings and get an energy suspension bush kit for the car, but is there anything particular I need to look at or consider? The bush kit does not seem to include any of the diff/gearbox mounts etc.
Also, what would be the best engine mountings to go for? OEM or are there alternatives? I plan on keeping the L28 for the forseeable future.
