in silvias they usually bolt to the strut tower where the strut tower brace usually bolts to...
seeing as your car is fwd id imagine you would have to figure out which way its twisting and then find a spot on the chassis to mount it to. alternatively you could shift a bit easier to try to make them last longer...
you can also buy eurethain mounts or as some people do fill the mounts with sikaflex to reduce the movement

I've heard of a few people welding some chain links across the the engine mount. So the mounts can only flex so far. Seems a bit dodgy though.

Has anyone had experience with solid engine mounts ? that would stop a bit of flex i'd say hehe could be rather brutal on your drive line tho.

the only problem with harder/filled engine mounts is you get more vibration through the car so im told
