Need help with a ls1 swap into a 90 300zx. I was wondering if there are any kind of manuals or prints of how it is done. Ive seen many ppl with this swap so i was hoping somone documented it.

There is no well documented swap or manual. I have never seen the car posted by jfman but I used to be interested in the swap. Here is some of the info I've got:
It must have been around 4 years ago I remember seeing one of the first z32 swaps in a white NA car from south Texas. There was also a member who did the swap on a blue car and had a thread about it on hybridz.org, but apparently that same member scammed others in sales of a how-to manual for the swap. I have seen a few swaps more recently, the latest I remember being a gutted track car. I don't recall any cars using the stock gauges and I believe all have had to push back the firewall and massage if not substantially modify the transmission tunnel. I have seen more pictures than these, but here are the ones I found saved on my computer: In some of them you can see what engine mounts are being used, as well as firewall modification.

Scammer from hybridz, you'll also see the owner of the white car chiming in on that thread. The white car owner is also on ls1tech but has not been on the site in a few years:

Here is a progress thread I commented in; I haven't seen much about the project recently. The car is caged and pretty severe but he did weigh it:
