badjuju Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 We can build you a set of motor mounts and a transmission mount. If you have a later Z you'll have to remove the upper portion of the transmission mount in the tunnel, and you'll have to drill\bolt or weld the transmission mount to its new location. We'll update when we get a little further along in my project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Merrill Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Keep me posted. I would be I interestested in the mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makaofox Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Well since this is the 2jz mount thread anyone care to post pics of various mounts they have made or found on the web? Im about to make my mounts and just took some ball park measurements and its pretty darn close to the stock mounts. Monday I plan to drop in the motor and get an idea of what I can do.

seattlejester Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) 260z003.jpg 2jzmount The mount style used for the 7mgte that would be bolt in to the stock datsun cross member may not be feasible for the 2jz block. I believe the passenger side has the appropriate bolt cluster and the stock datsun mount can be uprated to a larger bolt and solid mounted, but the driver side has the oil filter and a much more difficult looking bolt cluster Edited December 24, 2013 by seattlejester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2Zs Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 yeah that oil filter sucks! I've been looking into a way to mount a relocation kit directly to the block instead of using the weird little elbow. This would clear the engine mount and make it easier to reach the filter when the engine is in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makaofox Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 The ebay and beta make nice mounts. Any other homemade ones? My buddy made a few mounts that bolted from the stock 240z cross member. It was really different and wish I took a picture at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hmm, remember any details? Did he use a big plate on the motor? Or was it a really small mount? Or was it really articulated with a long arc? 2jz If you look on the driver side next to the oil filter there are a few bolt holes. One at 1:30, one at 2:30, one at 4:00 (further away), one at 4:30 (closer), and one at 9:00. The one at 4:30, is canted at an angle dissimilar to that of the other bolts so would be harder to use. I think it would be possible to use the bolt holes at 2:30 and 4:00, as well as the holes that are parallel to those holes a little further back down the block and make a long articulated arm. But that arm would have to be quite the arm to support the weight at that angle. Alternatively, it could be a smaller plate with the bolt holes at 2:30 and 4:00, with the arm starting between them, but that would be quite a lot of strain to put onto two bolts. Alternatively to that, you could use the holes at 2:30, 4:00, and 9:00 with a big cut out and run an arm straight down from there, but once again, you run into the problem of leverage from the arm to the bolt holes. With the big power levels that a 2jz will probably put out, I don't even know if the stock datsun rubber mounts could handle the rotation of the motor. It might actually be more economical to hardmount it to the chassis if the motor is indeed as smooth as avernier says. Either that or use a captive mount with a massive washer and reinforcement to the stock crossmember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badjuju Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 This is definitely going to be fun. lol Brian, do you see an issue with running a plate to the (2) 9:00 and the 11:30-ish, or a longer one with a cutout for the oil filter that spans the (2) 9:00s, the 4:00, and 4:30?

badjuju Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 So yeah, after looking at the motor, bad idea. rofl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makaofox Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 The mount was pretty much a plate with a long curved tube to the stock s30 cross member mount. I started to make the mounts then it started to snow on me lol. After new years going to start it again and then take pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Looking forward to it, keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil280Z Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 If someone here can confirm for us that your motor mounts sit at the same spot as mine do, I can build you a pair when I fab mine up. I am running a 2jzge in a '73 240z. I am looking to get some made for my 1JZ swap also. Its pretty much the last thing i need to get done to finish my project. Please let me know if you are able to make a set for me also and when you will be making them. If you could message me with your number so i can call and get it all figured out that would be great.

AJA S30 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hi guys. This would be my first reply to Hybrid Z. Great forum! I thought some of my info might be useful. I have a 72z that's getting a 1jzgte vvti/R154. I bought the kit to install my engine/trans combo from Tech2 Motorsports and I have to tell you, it's very nice. The driveshaft BTW, is alum and becaues I'm using an r200, he made sure to have the correct u-joints for my install. Carlos, the owner, not only is a good guy but has a ton of 1j/2j experience. He is a big fan of the JZ engine and has done many Z's with them. So far I've been in the 'collecting' mode for my project and haven't had a chance to see how it lines up in the car. But, if it goes in half as good as it looks, I'm going to be 'ok'.... devil280z, how is your project coming along? Any words of advise?..lol...

seattlejester Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hey, AJA S30, welcome to the forum!Glad to see the positive review thus far. If you don't mind me asking, did the kit come with a receiver for the transmission? As in the receiving portion for the transmission brace?

JacobsZ Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 My fiance saw that i'd been looking at the kit and she purchased it. Theres no refunds so i already know i'm going to have to modify it but hopefully it isn't to much difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devil280Z Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 devil280z, how is your project coming along? Any words of advise?..lol... Just picked up the motor today from the machine shop, looks great!! Saturday i am going to put the intake and exhaust on. I cant wait, going to be amazing. The only thing hanging me up right now is that fact that i need a engine mount. I dont trust my own skills to make it myself and i cant spend 1500 for the Ebay kit. Soo freaking close i cant stand it..... I will try and get some pics uploaded for you guys on my build post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobsZ Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 So, i have realized that my fiance is an idiot, bless her heart. But the kit will not work at all with my 280. So, i'm selling it for 1000 bucks for everything or trading it for mounts for my zx. Pass the word round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayson260z Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hi all im new to this forum so take it easy on me. I recently got a stellar deal on a '74 260z that has "a little rust" but i picked it up for 800 dollhairs then come to find out it had 4 boxes over flowing with nissan boxes and spare parts. not to mention some tinted headligh covers and factory rubber (traded for a 5 speed swap for the l26.) But anywho I am super interested in a VVTI 1jz swap for it but a solid idea for a motor mount still eludes me. As soon as i started looking into the idea i came across BetaMotorsports and their crossmember and all they sold but they shut down. And im sure that image isnt right but i was wondering if anyone has the specifications of the beta crossmember that they might "share" with the community so i could have a better idea of recreating one (with all credit due to John from BetaMotorsports) thanks guys - Grayson http://images.google.com/imgres?q=betamotorsports%20crossmember&safe=active&bih=695&biw=1440&tbm=isch&tbnid=Cd07xccpCnT-RM%3A&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.hybridz.org%2Ftopic%2F61936-my-1jz-260z%2F&docid=4voAHrbLJi5zAM&imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fi176.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fw178%2Ftimbo1j%2F260z003.jpg&w=1024&h=768&ei=xJreUtXRDoudkQeP14CIBw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=447&page=1&start=0&ndsp=17&ved=0CFkQrQMwAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
