FX35 ('03)Engine mounts

[WietseFX35]

Hey guys,

Tonight i was checking the engine and i found out that there is quite some play on the engine mounts in the front.
I just grabbed the engine and pushed it to the left and right and you can move it with not to much force.
Is this normal that they are quite soft or is it time to find myself some new ones?
If so, is it the same type from an 350Z or are they different?
This because there is an Nissan dealer close and otherwise i need to get them from the states over to holland wich kicks the price badly!

Hope someone can clear this up for me.

Greetingz...

They are the same as Z engine mounts.

Ah,thats good news.
At least i can get them easy if i need them.

Thx for the reply.

nobody any idea about the engine mounts?
They are standard quite soft or does this indicate they are worn?

Have heard of cracked engine mounts that needs replacing but not worn giving excessive play.

Found a cracked mount this weekend. Mine engine moves about an inch when I step on the gas and brake at the same time. Putting in new mounts this weekend.

Thx for the info, i will check them for cracks.
But i think that if it is cracked you would notice straight away because then the engine should have very much movement.
My imagenation came up with the idea that this might be oil filled mounts and the oil leaked out already or something.
But it is probably not as bad as i imagend.
Are the belts for the alternator and a/c also same as from an 350Z?
I will order everything in 1 time then.

Thx again for the update!
