devil280Z Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 OK everyone, I made a deal with john owner of what we knew as beta motorsports. I have bought the plans for his motor mounts and plan on making them for resale. I will begin taking pre orders soon. There is one problem that a lot of you will probably not like, I am leaving on a business trip for at least 2 months so I won't be able to start production until I return. But when I do come back I will start making a bunch of them so we can have more Z's with JZ's!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Merrill Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Great new for the other people here. I bought a tech 2 kit and they were hella expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oatmilk Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Glad to hear. Those were made from the originals I commissioned him to make for my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Yup, I've sent Ben the drawings for the cut parts and today I'm packing up the fixtures, the extra parts I have, and shipping them probably tomorrow. Was supposed to do that over the weekend but Fathers day, family visiting, and a torn up backyard got in the way. And Larrow... car on the road yet?

seattlejester Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I've written a few e-mails, but never had the real drive to send them, as I felt someone else would do a better job. Glad to see they will still be floating around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oatmilk Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 John, Not yet but u know how life can kind of get in the way of things. It's at the shop making progress, albeit slowly, which is perfect for my budget when your raising four daughters. Perhaps it will be at JCCS this year. Be well my friend.

makaofox Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Finally! Cant wait, made the mistake of putting off purchasing the crossmember and bit me in the ass since it was no longer produced. Cant wait for you to start I will buy one. I was going to make my own but just not in the mood to spend time on that when I can buy the engine mount and spend that time making the trans mount and other brackets.Just general questions: Price range between $200-$400??Tig welded or mig?Thickness of the steel? Quality?Looking forward to this, by the time you have a few ready to ship ill purchase them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil280Z Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Right now I don't have any details, still getting everything set up. I am thinking $400 but the price may go down if other costs are cheaper than expected. I definitely plan on making it a quality part.

devil280Z Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 OK, my trip was canceled so I will continue progress on the mounts. Going to pick up some tubing today which is that last thing I need to get a couple made up. I will hopefully get a chance to get those done this weekend. If not I will keep you all posted.

KTMStrawn Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I am curious how long it will take before these start to become available. You say $400 is aprox where you are hoping to sell for? I had started the process of swapping a 2jz into my datsun however I have been waayy too tied up in work and no longer have time to work on it and if I can just shell out some money and cut out a large time consuming portion then so be it eh? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil280Z Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'm hoping to have them Rollin out of my garage and into your Z's here in the next couple weeks. Still sourcing everything locally and that is where I'm stuck at right now. As of right now I am planning on charging $400 so best bet is to just plan on that price. I will definitely keep everyone updated on the status and have pics up soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil280Z Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devil280Z Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 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.
