New engine mounting for my B14

Picture above: My mechanic Ah Seng on his work to change the engine mounting.

Yesterday(29/3/2008 - 6.00pm) I decide to change my engine mounting. I have go to car part shop at Serdang, Selangor to buy left and right mounting engine. Cost all at RM120. The salesman at sparepart shop recommend me to go the workshop at shell petrol pump, Serdang. Then, I disappointed with his labor charge. They charge me RM70. Very expensive to me. I just pick up my handphone and contact Ah Seng and ask him how much labor charge he want for changing engine mounting. He just charge me only RM40. For not wasting a time, I just pay the mounting and go to Ah Seng workshop. The process to change this mounting is about one hour. Now my car more smooth to drive and less vibrating on steering. Thanks to Ah Seng with his good job.

Picture below is my old engine mounting.



Nissan Fairlady 350Z (2003–present)



The story begin when I was come to Five Auto Sdn.Bhd at Bangi, Selangor. I and my friend "Matdin" need to look at Subaru Impreza. He very desperate to own his Subaru. Even I'm a Nissan Fan, I still respect the Subaru car. Its one of reliable and faster car. Ok...lets continue my story.

While my friend look at his Subaru, I and other salesman look at Nissan Fairlady 350Z. I was told by the salesman about this car. He told me this car is imported from Japan and it is 3500cc. I impress and figure out how much I will pay the roadtax if I bought this car. The salesman said "In Malaysia, around RM4000 for the roadtax". Crazy I said. I can't effort the road tax every year. Maybe Skyline better for me in the future.

This is some infos that I got from internet about this car.
"In the 2003 model year, Nissan reentered the US sports-car market with the 350Z, powered by a 3.5 L V6, and styled in an attempt to create a more modern interpretation of the 240Z's lines. It had a new 6-speed manual gearbox, and is capable of over 155 mph (249 km/h)"
