Thud Noise On Takeoff

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

i have a thud noise happening when taking off from 1st, not launching or anything, just normal drive off

any suggestions where my search should being, i was thinking possible engine or transmission mount

car has recently been fitted with new clutch and im assuming the workshop would have mentioned if the transmission mount was stuffed

also how hard is it to change engine mounts without removing the engine itself

My 32 GTR is also making a thud noise and when i looked under i noticed one of the rear cradle bushes was stuffed so i would check there first. I have not changed mine yet, but im 90% sure that's the problem with mine.

I reckon Engine mount. Does it also thud when you let off? (ie Let off gas before changing into 2nd)

Changing engine mounts is easy,

Jack up front, support car on stands

Jack up engine just enough to take the weight (Make sure you have a nice piece of timber to go between sump and jack)

Out with old in with new

EDIT: this if for most cars, I just noticed you are godzilla powered, I have never changed a mount on a GTR so you may wanna find some specific info regarding that mate. (knowing how fun they are to work on lol)

worn engine mounts, will it be visible and obvious when looking at it under the car that its shagged?

anyone replaced them with engine in?

I've got clunks and thuds, and a nismo engine/gearbox mount kit to go in when i find some time. Dont know if it will fix it....

I have a thunk when I take off as well, as well as when shifting in the lower gears, I have a TON of play in my driveshaft center bearing, it flops around like crazy.
