yo man.. ya.. me too .. you know how it goes where I work.. just make it work !!.. I dont know what got into mitchell bro.. he's like .. this thing better be pretty and I was like WTF ? so I made it pretty 
You're 100% right on the motor. The mounts are actually old skool 240Z sqaure rubber mounts. They'll hold up. The tranny mount is cool too. The driveshaft like at a couple degree angle.. This sucks cause you can feel it when you really get on it. Which means busted driveshaft after a while... torn up output shaft bearing... not cool. I am going to slot the mounts a little and move the the whole driveline over a half inch about. Other than that it's cool.. BTW Matt.. plugs... PFR7E11 ? The motor is pinging on those old HKS plugs at anything > 10 psi.. timing is only 15..
later

WTF ?? no no no ... driveshaft has to be straight .. u joints do not like being at an angle when torque is applied to them. Basically a driveshaft u joint can be at a 1.5 - 2 degree angle at most. This one is at about 5 degrees. U joints are there because of motor / tranny travel on their rubber mounts

did they make that particular Z in a turbocharged model? how are the power gains compared, between the SR and the stock turbo motor (if there is one)?
