Today sir you are my hero.

Z alternator. Made my own brackets and just reused those couple wires from the stock z harness. All the other wires got torn out.

Also running the z power steering pump. Check my albums for pictures on how I did it.

This might be a dumb question, seeing as how I'm not really familiar with how the paddle shift kit for the 350z works, but have your LS swap guys that have gone with the auto tranny concidered retrofitting the aftermarket paddleshifters for the aut0 350 to the LS swapped auto?

My kit showed up today



I have to say that I'm actual very impressed with everything from customer relations to the fabrication quality of Sikky products. The mounts, shifter, and oil pan are simply works of art that pictures do no justice. I hopefully the install is as impressive as everything else.

...and it comes with 14 stickers...

Don't forget the LS3, & 6. Currently The kit supports LS1, 2, and 6 applications. I can't wait until the kits supports LS3, LSA, and LS9 applications. There will always be plenty of LS engines to go around. I would love to get my hands on a nice LS3 or an LSA.

Kit doesn't support L92?

6.2L. Is there really that much of a difference?

I would ask Sikky about that one Armed Ferret. The L92 may work. Don't get sad just yet. I know those L92's are cheeeeap compared to an LS motor. I'm still going to use an LS motor because I live in VA and don't want any problems.

I live in MD, but I'm fortunate enough to be able to keep my Iowa registration.

I actually explained MD and their laws to the county clerk when I called to register my Z, and asked if Iowa needed me to have the car inspected and she laughed a good bit. Said "What for? If the car breaks, or you crash, forcing inspections only lets you sue the state if/when your own idiocy happens. Not that I'm saying YOU'RE an idiot, but you understand."

Indeed I do.

Things are simpler back home.
