You have to use different places in your tongue to pronounce the two sounds. In pronouncing "j" your tip of tongue sinks and your tongue goes upward. In pronouncing "z" your tip of tongue extends forward and be against the upper back teeth.

The pronunciation of "j" in Chinese is similar to the English "j" sound, as in "jump." The pronunciation of "z" in Chinese is similar to the English "z" sound, as in "zebra."
