Sikky 350z/G35 LSX swap
We are happy to announce the 350z/G35 LSX kit is finally complete! This kit will allow you to bolt any LS series engine into your 350z and G35. No cutting or welding required. We decided it would be a good idea to show everyone just how easy this install is with our kit so we took a fairly stock G35 and began the install. Here are some pics and info to better show and explain this setup for those interested.
Here is the donor car, prepped and ready to go with the OEM engine and trans removed.

Donor LS2 engine and 6 speed manual trans from a 2006 Pontiac GTO
First step pull the stock GTO oil pan
Here is the new high capacity Sikky oil pan. Prep the new pan by pre installing the gasket. This pan is equipped with windage tray and trap doors to eliminate any oiling issues associated with the factory GM pans.
Installed Sikky pan showing connections for remote mount oil filter kit that is also included with the mount kit. Factory dust shields are also installed.
Installed Sikky billet aluminum driver side motor mount and urethane bushing
Installed Sikky billet aluminum passenger side motor mount and urethane bushing
All prep work complete on the engine and ready for install
Installed Sikky trans mount bushing
Begin install of new engine and trans. Install is as easy as bolting up the VQ with our kit.
Engine and trans installed with engine bolted to factory cross member
underside view of installed engine
install Sikky trans cross member
disconnect steering shaft for header install
carefully slip Sikky long tube headers into position around steering column and re attach U-joint
view of Sikky header installed on driver side, now install passenger side header
front view closeup of installed engine
rear view of installed engine with both headers installed
that's it for now, more pics and info to follow.....

a new driveshaft comes in the sikky swap, but it does not offer any electronics plus alot more. So i still believe the Hinson Motorsports conversion kit is the only complete kit around.
