I bought the plans for 1j/2j mounts from beta motor sports. I'm deployed right now but when I get back home I will be making some up to sale. Just throwing that out there for those interested. They set the motor back much further than the CX racing kit but they do require some welding. Anyways I will start posting some for sale when I get back home in April, keep an eye out for them.

I'm deployed to Afghanistan right now. Won't be back home until April some time. My fiance might be able to dig one of them out when she moves us into a new place in a few months but until then none for sale. Sorry guys. Hopefully when I get back I will be able to get some progress made on these. Life has me pre occupied with other things. But I will let you guys know!

I have the ms3 pro for my 1jz vvti, have yet to get everything running though. Been busy with other stuff.
-
For everything I've read, most people don't like the VVTI because its a little harder to tune. As long as you can find a good tuner near by its a much better motor. Get your torque at lower rpms, runs smoothing and much more fuel efficient.. Downfall is after market. If you want to stay south of 500hp not a problem got vvti, if you want a huge HP motor than got GTE. Either way great motors!!

I posted two for sale on a FB for sale forum. Only one is left. I don't want to post them for sale on this thread because admins will delete it. And I need to donate money to this site again to post on the for sale section here.
I have one made and will try and make two more before I deploy in a couple weeks. So if you want one we will need to find a way to make this happen.
-
I'm still here, I just hit a wall on my project. Its super close to being done too! Lol.
I leave for a deployment in about 3 weeks and when I get back I will definitely get this thread going again!!
Also thanks for your support.
-
Yeah, its super anoying. But when its done it will be amazing!!
-
Lmao I'm lacking inspiration right now also :-/. I would love to finish it right now but I'm getting ready to go back to Afghanistan so I'm just going to finish it next year when I get back. I thinkni want to paint it also so it will be super sexy when I'm finally done!
-
Yeah I remember. Yeah I'm thinking $400 per and in it Tucson AZ. I pretty much have 2 ready to go just need to be cleaned up. If I get any interest in them I will get them cleaned up and posted in the for sale forum or on facebook.
-
Yeah I'm aware of that, I was just planning on painting/powder coating everything but what gets welded to the frame rails.
-
Thanks, I'm looking forward to finally getting them put in my Z!
I actually don't live in Alaska I was just out there for work in anchorage.
-
Got the tubes bent properly and welded 2 up today. Just need to cut off the fat and paint them.
-
Wow that's awesome. I will definitely be happy with high 20's or low 30's!!
-
Well I'm glad you said something. My friend that helped me make them does structural welding for airplanes and said it would be fine but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
-
We tried bending it but it wasn't working. Next best option, tig weld the shit out of it haha. Yeah I was swaetibg my ass off but hey what can you do?
-
I have made more progress. Sorry its taking me so long guys work has me pretty busy. I spent all of last month in Alaska. Anyways I have one made up, going to test fit it on my car to make sure we got the measurements correct. Once that's good I'm going to bang a few out and hopefully a few of you will be able to finish your projects.
Would you guys be interested in powder coating also? Was thinking I might add that to the options. Let me know.
-
Yes the 1jz and 2jz have many interchangeable parts and the mounts I'm making can be used with both 1 and 2jz's.
-
Awesome! Thanks for the info.
-
Nice! I ended up selling the ez kit. My stock harness is good now and I was starting to get on the ladder. I just need to focus on getting the car on the road. I have many more years to fix the small stuff. Hoping to have it running by October for the Williams AZ show.
-
I've been in Alaska all month so no new progress but I am coming back home next week. I will let you guys know.
-
No updates yet. I've been in Alaska all month. I am going back home next week and will hopefully get the time in between moving to at least get a few made.
And I will definitely post them for sale in the for sale section.
-
Also an update, welding has started. Hope to have at least one if not a couple made up on Saturday. I will post pics and let you guys know how things go.
-
I'm pretty sure it does not work on Zx's. The distance between frame rails is different than the s30's.
-
Finally ordered the tubing required today. I won't be able to get everything to my welder until next week so once he has everything i will have another update for you guys.

I sold one already. Have one more already made and plan on making some more here soon. But not much I can do until I get home. Hoping that once I drop my jz motor in I'll get motivated to finish.
