matsdat Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Hi guys, i am considering fitting a 1JZ into my 240z. Its my understanding that Betamotorsport are the only company that manufacture a cross member for mounting the engine. Are there any other companies? Also, has anyone used this crossmember in a right hand drive application? I think the crossmember is designed for left hand drive cars and would like to confirm that it will be ok to use on my 240z. Thanks for your help. Quote
sco_aus Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 I would have thought Castlemaine Rod shop and/or Marks adaptors would. Give them a try. Quote
ZED660 Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Speak to Ben at Otomoto he did a similar conversion some years ago and the car is now resident in the UK. He may even have a copy of his magazine articles he did setting out the conversion Quote
matsdat Posted May 3, 2009 Author Posted May 3, 2009 Bens conversion is part of the inspiration, he used mounts from Rocco's Performance but they dont make them anymore. Havent spoken to the Rod shop yet but am unsure whether they can do anything for customers interstate, i cant bring the car down to them to design something. The Betamotorsport cross member looks ideal and is reasonably priced, just not sure if it can be used on RHD cars. Quote
sco_aus Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 I was surprised just how man options they had for zeds, so have a look, cos they may already have them made. Quote
