Datsun 240z 2JZ Motor Mounts Part 3 | 2J-Z Episode 16

A+ man. only tip I saw was before you weld, give yourself a clean spot for the ground to go. Will help them weld penitrate a lil more. PS Is it bad the first thing I said was Wow, he's getting an early start today (judging from the light coming threw the door) xD

[@2JZdatsun]

Yes, great tip on the welding! It makes SUCH a difference. Hitting it with a wire brush/flap wheel to get that bare metal will also be what I'll do from now on as well. I've learned more about welding technique this past week than I have in months! Yeah, I need to get out to the garage sooner in the day for sure, I'm with ya!

[@1dickycat]

2J-Z even wiping your parts down with acetone before will help to. Might be a lot, but all these lil tips added up make a BIG difference. I'm just pulling your leg man lol I'm late out into the garage too, but the day job don't start like 9-10 am so I'm out till ~1-2 every night.

[@2JZdatsun]

1dickycat Yup, that's another thin Ross mentioned to me. Great tip!

[@1dickycat]

2J-Z Nice, and I've been wondering this.. how long between updates once she's in Ross' hands? I kinda wanna watch this go together, not as much just updates. You know, like someone's boss' unicorn build ;)

[@2JZdatsun]

1dickycat LOL! I'll be grabbing footage from Ross as he works on it, but in the meantime I'll be providing 510 updates as well!

[@vn4417]

Can't wait for the 2jz to be installed!

[@2JZdatsun]

+ERR0R ERR0R You and I both!

[@lawrences1347]

Your thumbnails are on point.

[@2JZdatsun]

Lawrence Sullivan Thanks Lawrence, much appreciated

[@carterlrae]

@2J-Z What size tap are you using for these mounting bracket holes?

[@waltercrawford463]

just curious why you are not using the original engine mounts and just use some larger tubing and weld your plates on an angle?

[@johnnywas]

Great video, man. Super informative!

[@3AMScoot]

Where did you get the engine mount bushings from?

[@KimLensing]

one tip use more current for welding you need to melt the metal you want to join, not just melt the surface layer a bit and lay a bead on it! and a beltsanding machine would do you good!

[@Ramdompcgamer]

Love it man

[@2JZdatsun]

Thanks Dylan, much appreciated!

[@Ramdompcgamer]

Your welcome man. I'm in the process of trying to figure out if I wanna do rb or jz in my Z and these videos are making me go more towards a jz now. Super informative.

[@2JZdatsun]

Dylan Kalchthaler I would love an RB, but it's just not realistic for me. Price is one main factor there. Plus, the 2JZ has such a vast aftermarket even today in 2017...it's just tough not to go 2JZ.

[@Casper0878]

What differential are you planning on running with this engine/transmission combo?

[@2JZdatsun]

+Casper0878 I have an R230 under the car - check out my previous video on the top

[@2JZdatsun]

+2J-Z topic*

[@Casper0878]

The R230 is a 3.7 right? Do you think that will match well with the gear ratio of the CD009?

[@codyboyd011]

another good one.

[@2JZdatsun]

+Cody Boyd Thanks Cody - you working on a project car?

[@codyboyd011]

Not right now but i have been looking and just waiting for the right 240, 260, 280 Z to cross my path to build. For now im just watching others build theirs while i continue to plan what i want to do exactly. Thanks for asking.

[@SharifKhan-ig1cn]

love the cars

[@2JZdatsun]

Thanks Sharif!

[@Ren200Z_MotoringLife]

metal needs to be super clean for welding

[@realbigtima]

8.8 grade bolts...I dont approve
