Hey, there is actually some movement on HinsonSuperCars website. No pricing, but there are a couple of photos of Noah's car.

 

His site is up.....here is a link to the 350Z page!

Noah, (1) can you elaborate on how Hinson/You managed the AC. Did you use a GM compressor? (2) With the extra motor/transmission/clutch/radiator weight did you notice any steering difference? I'm sure your car is much faster than it originally was, but does it still appear that it turns as fast as did? I guess I'm asking for your seat-of-the-pants feeling, did it seem to handle turning as well as before?

 

I dont think he would know an answer to question two at this point. **poke**

 

You makes noah cry.


I will not know how it drives until this weekend (i still have a lot of work left to do regarding redoing my suede interior and safety equpiment incase i get out of hand)....but also remember my suspension is heavily modified so the handling might not be too different.

I beleive Brain is the only person who knows every detail regarding this build so your best bet for answers would be to call hinsonsupercars.

 

Noah, did you ever get your car shipped or are you still working om that?

 

That is nice, which compression ratio piston/crank combination did you use?
This thing has the potential for 700+hp. Congrats

 

pics of interior?

Id like to see if the shifter comes out in the right place!

 

I will fly out and do it. I love going for drives

 

John-

SHOTGUN!

Wait a sec....I guess that is the only option?

we can beat it like a loose hooker all the way back to NY.

 

works for me. I havent been to NY in 10 years

 

The shifter is 100% perfect....exactly where the Z shifter was....when i said I was amazed with Brian Hinson's attention to detail I was not kidding.

I will get some pics as soon as I get the car back.

 

You would have to fly to alabama and drive it up from there....OR just come to NY and go for a spin!

 

killer conversion! congrats

I've had two different LSX powered vettes, an LS6 C5Z and an LS7 C6Z. They are amazing powerplants for sure! The LS7 was just a beast....I dynoed 453/424 showroom stock and 485/453 with a cai, ported intake and tune only! That LS7 is no joke, but all the LSX motors have tremendous all motor capability.

 

A LS platform is not the same thing as an LSX. And no, you have not had a LSX.

 

^ Werd. That's a common misconception.

LSx = LS-series in general
LSX = specific race block

 

A/C is going to be the LS compressor.The high and low lines are useully spliced together.I don't see them making a bracket when splicing line is simple.

 

I just typed lsx as to not have to type ls1, ls2, ls3, ls6, ls7 or ls9 (although thats supercharged). a gm high performance parts lsx block is indeed different, I just figured people reading would understand my laziness not to type out all the production gm ls-family (how's that?) that have found their way to various vehicles. hey, but thanks for the warm welcome


here are my ls6 and ls7 vehicles and new g35, BTW - I love this 7600rpm nissan motor! :

'02 C5Z - head & cam/lt's/3.90 gear/ 455/410 sae





(cam "only" 405rwhp sae vid - 11.28, 1.51 60ft)

http://www.real-performance-motorspo...owning1128.wmv

sadly, never made a run with the cnc aftermarket heads on the car, would have been high ten capable. sold for 06 c6z)

'06 C6Z - showroom stock 453/424 sae. tune and cai 485/453 sae





showroom stock (and I'm talking all the way down to the pathetic emt runflats) 11.44 vid run (later went 11.31, no vid. no runs made with cai and tune. car sold)

and believe it or not, after owning all that hp and BROAD tq band from the ls-x (uh-oh, there it is again!) I love this new g35. I think this nissan powerplant is excellent and pulls very nicely to 7600. I'm really enjoying this car! nice job nissan! (oh nooooos, is that another boo-boo with the techinicality police? should have said infiniti? or is nissan ok? )





times pending- whats the showroom stock record for a g35?

peace bruthas!

 

considering there are people that went 10's on the stock (and stock everything else) runflats, they are not all that pathetic...

 

people? there was ONE. His name is Jamie Furman from the Maryland/New Jersey area. 10.98 at 129 in about -2000 density altitude out at one of the best prepped, VHT sobbed tracks around called ATCO. even the vette-god driver himself Ranger couldn't go sub 11.0 100% stock (he did with dr's however, 10.85 at 129).

the emt's are pathetic, chief, sorry. C6Z owners lined up in herds to ditch the runcraps for nitto invos or mich p2s. check out the corvette forum if you don't believe me. goodyear just makes a crappy tire IMO. It will hook pretty good with a WELL prepped surface and a burnout, but then you're left wondering what happened to your tread after making only a couple of runs.....thats what happens when you start life @ $450 a pop and 9/32's tread depth. Wet traction and cold surface traction is like an ice rink - utterly dangerous for a 427 car and rwd.

since I actually owned the car.....I'm sticking with the term "pathetic"
