Luckily, I was in the heart of the ghetto when it happened to me.
Guess who went to Nissan the next day and bought all new bolts for that mount. Luckily I had a spare case laying around to swap my stacks into or it would've cost me quite a bit of money.
Going down to the dealer to buy all missing bolts, I sure hope this is the cause, I'd rather have everything bolted up the right way to have a piece of mind anyhow. Ok so what about that pad that sits on the cross member though does this play into this as a factor at all?

If you are still convinced this is not normal........... its not you engine mounts........its impossible for it to be your mounts. i would starting checking your engine for misfires. I was expecting the extra driveline vibrations I have had polymounts in my B14 in the past they have worked superb I could not ask for more, Just in the B13 I own now they are working like shit, but hey we shall see, The rev matching has been working out for me though alot easier on the clutch and drive train all together. Especially with this six puck.
