The heat source is on the top (exhaust mani/turbo). The shield doesn't trap heat unless you installed it upside down. It deflects the heat away from the mount. That heat shield is FAR superior to the stock one for this application.

For the price I would like Nismos and keep the tranny.
After 20 240sxs, silvia ks, Nissan gtir, Nissan skyline GT St 4 door, and a new z, kinda know what I'm talking about.
I like the mounts but for the price and vibration...there OK.

How many Nissans you have owned has nothing to do with how knowledgeable you are about the engineering behind the products you buy.
The price of the engine mounts is really pretty damn cheap. There isn't really anything else on the market to compare it to. Nismos are nothing but overpriced stock mounts, ESPECIALLY the trans mount. Anything else on the market that I have seen, regardless of price, is either an utter POS or overpriced stock shit.
The tranny mount is the expensive part, BUT it is FAR superior to anything else that I have seen on the market.
I can appreciate that the mounts are too stiff for your liking, but some of the stuff you are saying is just non-sense.
