Question Moving onto the Nissan Platform for the first time

Hello everyone...just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ralph and I've been a member for about 3 years here on TR. I've always been active usually in the Honda/Acura tech and classifieds but have decided to move onto a different type of platform. I will picking up my first nissan tonight(assuming all goes to plan)and will begin learning everything I can about it. I am pretty mechanically inclined as I've done most of the motor swaps/work into my crx and integra. I've moved over from a Integra GSR so this is totally new to me mostly being rwd. I've managed to strike a good deal on a 96 240sx(let the bandwagon hating begin) and hope to make it a pretty different 240 than most around Tampa.

So after all of that mess, my first question is...of the 2 240's I've started up...both have a slight jump towards the left side of the motor, kinda like its turning over to start. It starts right up and runs good. In a Honda/Acura I would think that it would be a bad motor/tranny mount. Is this normal for a Nissan RWD? Its not a HUGE jump...but a noticable one. Has stock motor and 5spd if it matters.

Other than that...I hope to get to know some of the Nissan guys/girls as I've come to meet alot of the Honda/Acura ones from TR. Mattback, I've talked to you a few times over the phone when I needed some questions answered about my pre-gsr swap as well as John/Vapor. And I've talked to Taylor when he was at SS who gave me some good info as well and hope to aquire somemore when it comes time to swap again. And I've heard nothing but good things about Scott from SS...so I look forwarding to picking your brain(if your available) in the near future.
