nice build! car looks great too. a few questions if you don't mind.
1. I went on Hinsons website. So the install kit includes a driveshaft, motor mount, tranny mount and oil pan. So all you need is the engine for a direct drop in?
2. what else is needed for install?
3. what about the engine wiring for the z?
thanks.

I am too. He sells an interface. Id think that trying to get the titan ECU to work would be near impossible and if it were..I couldnt imagine the cost of doing something like that. The only thing I wondered is if there was a way to get the Nissan VIN into the GM ECU for emmissions

That seems like an extremely difficult task. Theres alot of calibrations and additions to the wiring harness that would have to be made..Seems like it might be more trouble than its worth. My car will retain all stock functions as well...im using a CAN gateway to splice the 2 systems together.
Thats why I said bring a car to us and we can make the CAN stuff work, thats what we do here.

Nissan ECU Tune $425
CAN Gateway $295
GM Computer Tune $185
= $905
Add the HP Tuners VCM Suite $499 and you're at $1404
We have Osiris Tuner for $900 that could potentially handle all of that stuff no modules needed. If we had a car here to develop the change over, you might need to order the Titan ECU, but we may even be able to use the stock VQ35 ECU for all we know. At the worst it would be better integration, at best it would be that and a lower cost.
Dunno why I'm getting flack for offering help in a swap situation.

He does, but we can make it easier. Thats my only point. We can develop it. But hey great car, have fun. If anyone is interested in making it work, contact us. We're not idiots here, check our reputation, we do this sort of thing with the stock ECU, it's not difficult and then everything in the car would continue to work without needing modules. I see Hinsons lists it as a module for getting the stock gauges to work, what about ABS, or any of the other controls in the car?

Don't take what I was saying the wrong way, I figured it would be much more difficult to make it work. Everything will work the same. The nissan ECU will be controlling everything but the engine and the GM computer will be controlling just the engine. I would consider this route if you guys were closer and my deadline wasnt so close. I wonder why it costs 425$ to completely detune the nissan ECU.. but then again he does charge 1000.00 for the oil pan.

yeah, trust me...i'm running a "bolt on supercharger" haha. I know FULL WELL the costs of running a decent EMS with "cheap" bolt ons. They all add up...and suddenly 14k for an LSx setup...doesn't sound too bad at all...since i'm still playing with fire on my old DE VQ...blah

Keep in mind the money made back even from OEM parts...and I added a bunch of things.
