Rate my engine mounts - replace or not?

These are the original mounts on a 63k mile S chassis. Sr20det vct. I have no point of reference for what kind/amount of vibration or how much engine twist/movement the SR should have when revved. The mounts don’t look great visually, but I also can’t move nor shake the engine easily myself by hand.
So anyways, here’s 20 seconds of a warm start and then half throttle stabbing in neutral to about 3500 rpm and showing the engine twist. Based on the start and then the rev motions, what do you all reckon?

Thank you!!

93 Silvia K's imported from Japan, mostly stock and just needs a couple things to be daily-able.

Other than the obvious, what should I do first?

Has anyone run into your BOV wanting to exist exactly where your MAF sits?

"Amenity" black box with ECU

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hello all, I just recently purchased a running, driving, stopping 1993 240SX S13 Hatch Manual that was swapped with a 1995 KA24DE from an S14. I've had no odd issues or leaks or anything, and it's been great so far keeping up with maintenance.

Recently, I noticed that the Check Engine Light, or really any of the notification lights, don't turn on when they should to show functionality at startup. Because of this, I wanted to take a look at the ECU. Lo and behold, the previous owner kept the engine OBD-II, but seemingly kept the original OBD-I interior harness. There's also this black box labelled with "Amenity" and marked as well with "made in the U.S.A" No idea what this is, but there's definitely some jankery afoot. Does anyone know or have a guess at what this box is? How big of a hole am I in in terms of getting a functional CEL? Where might my OBD-II diagnostic port be?

Any and all insight would be appreciated!

Kouki rear tail light Nissan emblem

Does anyone know where you can get a replacement "nissan" emblem for the s14 kouki tail lights? OEM is long discontinued, but I remembered seeing someone 3D printing them a while ago, but now can't find them anywhere.

Did my trans tail shaft housing get cut?

After the starter literally fell out of the car which had been held in by one bolt which sheared, I started taking a closer look at the 5spd swap the previous owner did after also noticing there was no backing plate visible. If I continue talking about it I'm just gonna get mad again so I'll just ask, it looks to me like the back of the housing was cut off to accomodate the driveshaft compared to a ton of pics I've looked at which show a longer tail shaft housing (I circled in blue where it looks cut and not straight), thing is, I dont understand why someone would cut it..it's a 97 ka24de, trans used is an s13, and the car is non abs. I'm in the process of getting a new clutch, flywheel, s14 trans, manual backing plate and some oem bolts to redo this and unsure if I need a new ds too or what is going on here.

edit: I am familiar with trimming dust shields but this looks done to accomodate a longer ds which has zero free play on the yoke.

edit edit: it is indeed damage from contact with the ds. u/taylordurdan is right per usual it was a ring from an adapter closing off the slip yoke free play. And I'd been thinking the shift kicks were bad mounts... how about the ds slamming the trans!

Quick solve, thank you!
