Awesome idea. When I crash my S13, my LS1 drive train is going in a 350Z. How does the tranny fit? Shifter location etc?

Beautiful swap! Oh and not all Z guys are ricers. You have to come visit Hybridz.org! Everyone there will get into your swap. We have lots of guys (me included) running LSx motors in Z cars. Most being early cars, 70-78.
And now I know what to do with my G35 coupe when it's time for a motor swap

Very nice conversion.
As Joe mentioned, www.hybridZ.org, 11,000 members, all Datsun/Nissan Z car enthusiast, NO purists! The forum was founded in early 2000 with V-8 conversions as the sole format! The forum still holds that premise today, NO purism, even has dedicated section for the Gen III/IV LSx!

Any how, this is very motivating. I’ve been struggling with getting an LSx in the previous generation Z car (Z-32, 90-96 300-ZX) https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...ka-z-32-a.html and finding that to do so is going to require cutting up the car itself which I really don’t want to get into for my daily driver. Recently been considering alternative LSx swap vehicles, (BMW E36 and now the Z-33). I am not abandoning the LSX, but probably going to be selling my uber clean Z-32 for a more LSx swap friendly car.

The 350-Z is starting to look pretty good all of sudden.
