Ive had the same problem with my car. The motor moves to much on stock mounts I went to solid mounts and I couldnt be happier. Alot of local guys have been busting radiators cause of hard maneuvering and the motor moves to much. I say its definately a motor mount issue and the rotating assembly on a 1j is smooth enough that you will notice slight vibration at idle if that.

I have polyurethane engine mounts, and my fan is only 1/4" from the radiator. I have the OEM 1JZ fan clutch and fan. I don't know what US stuff they're the same as, but probably close to the 2JZ-GE. I've never had a problem with fan contact. No need to go with solid mounts... just get the BIC poly mounts.
