What have you done to your P5 today?

[GMalatrasi]

I finally got them to light up!!!
Look look:


Now I need to get them to work.
If I remove the oil filter, will oil come squirting out the hole?
Where can I hook up by boost sensor to? (I know it wont read boost I just want to have it done.)

 

[Kansei]

The boost sensor, just grab a vacuum line off the intake manifold .. so that when the throttle plate closes, it goes right to 0.

 

[whitemp5seattle]

installed a new battery! the car works again! YAY!

 

[GMalatrasi]

By grab you mean disconnect from the mani and put it on the sensor or tee off from that line?

 

[Kansei]

tee off. you can tee off from the one that goes to the IAT, I think that's the one I used.

 

[Yaggie1]

No, I don't. I had the SU front and rear mounts, but I had never installed the rear one. I got enough vibration out of the front one do steer me totally away from adding the rear one. Worst thing for me is that I have an auto and even with the soft SU mount it shook bad enough for me to remove it. I decided to give the SLS one a shot after hearing Kansei talk about his.I don't know what they do different with theirs but, it is sweet. I would for sure recommend it to anyone who has too much vibration with their other mounts. Plus, the price is awesome.

Do you have any other upgraded mounts installed? I was goign to get the SU mounts but I might try the SLS ones instead. I currently have the AWR front mount and well its vibrates the car pretty bad at times, but thats due to my rear mount being shot for the most part

IAT?

Busy Saturday for me yesterday. Got the new rotors installed, got my new exhaust gaskets form Racing Beat so the exhaust went back on, and did the front grill.

I do have to say, the exhaust without the header isn't too bad at all. That friggin header adds alot of noise..........

I had the 90 duro AWR front and rear mount (rear never installed). The vibration wasn't at all bad and hardly notiable at first. It was like my friends Sentra tha was highmilage and you could feel it in the seats slightly. However beings that the rear mount is now shot I can tell! BTW I have a ATX as well with over 150k on the clock.

 

[Yaggie1]

Really ! Wow, my Street Unit mount drove me nuts. I can't believe the 90 AWR didn't rattle out your fillings. That brings me to a question I guess. Would the vibrations be worse with only the front or with both front and rear installed ? Maybe I should be sorry I didn't install both of my SU mounts ?....... Oh well, the SLS one is pretty nice too.

[amsgator]

how bad are vibrations w/ a header?

 

[amsgator]

is this the SLS mount ya'll are talking about?

http://www.slsperformance.com/slsp/ProductDetail.asp?idproduct=576&idCategory=152

also, will it fit the P5? it just says protege and msp

 

[Kansei]

Yeah the P5 is no different so it'll fit just fine.

 

[amsgator]

how come the picture is completely different than the other mounts?

AWR

SLS

:-\

 

[Sveivo]

It's certainly different design, but I don't see why it won't work.

 

[amsgator]

so how would it install then? i have never had to change one so i'm a newbie w/ these

 

[Kansei]

It's just a different design. Neither the SLS or the AWR looks just like the stock mount. It's a 20-30 minute install, you don't even jack the car up to do it. Steps: unbolt two 17mm nuts underneath the mount.. look under the car or feel around to find them, don't jack up the car it'll put a load on that mount. When you have them off, take the bolt out of the middle of the stock mount (17mm as well I think). Now put the SLS mount in, stick the bolt through the middle, then stick the two included bolts down through the holes in the mount and chassis, and thread the nuts on from underneath. Tighten everything down and you're all set

 

[amsgator]

so the only thing that gets replaced is the mount and not the bracket?

Would you recommend removing the bolt that goes through the middle of the mount from underneath or by going through the engine bay?

so the only thing that gets replaced is the mount and not the bracket?

The metal "holder" that has the bushing in it gets replaced, since this is a complete front mount and not just an insert.

I got some inserts a while back and still waiting for a nice day to put the front one in.

 

[amsgator]

what about the gold part in the awr mount? the sls doesnt have that. thats what i was curious about. the street unit mounts have that part as well.
