I'm in the process of swapping a sr20det in my 95 se-r.

Should i change my motor mounts by some new factory one from nissan or from energy ? why ?

Can i leave my current motor mounts?

I don't know anything about a factory fire, but you definitely don't want to leave OEM mounts in place. They can hardly handle stock power levels, let alone turbo abuse. ;) JWT, Place Racing, and I thought NISMO have mounts for SRs that are much better than stock, though your dashboard may start rattling and you'll discover some new and exciting resonance anomalies inside your cabin. :D

I've got nismo mounts on my gtir and the car vibrates like mad between 1200-1300 rpm ie tickover.V.annoying but better than feeling the whole engine move when cornering hard.

They use Nissan core shells (core exchange required) and PR's own concoction for damping material. From pictures, it appears that they burn out the stock material and cure their own. PR was supposed to make a set of B15/SR mounts, but they kind of poo-pooed us, so they'll never see a penny of mine, but I digress. The bottom line is that they are available for B14s and B13s, and cost about $192 direct from Place.
