well if this aint inspiration to put an ls1 in a Z i don't know what is....................i'm pondering the idea myself........but its not realistic for me right now. i wonder really.........i shoulds just go out and when i buy my next ride just get a vette. LOL......and join the darkside of the force. LOL Vid credit: Silver 323 on 350zmotoring forums. http://panhandlez.com/videos/satracing2.wmv TT350z, supercharged 350z and LS1 fbodys with some mods

oh!! that always happens to me!! friend shot me the link and i had to share.

aww... come on. why? i am a member of the other board and they are very helpful with lots of info on stock routine z maintence, parts, and stuff. I come to hybridz to get info on the swaps i want. But if i need info on stock interior parts, or tips on trouble shooting electrical problems with lighting, stock wiring diagrams and so forth in go to classiczcars.com. Classiczcars has helped me alot in the past. With all that said, i really like hybrid z too. My dream car is a LT/LS 1 early Z car. I like to read up on the l28et swap, since it is economical. I love reading threads on you guys cool engine swaps, and learn lots of new things from you guys. The guys over there when someone needs hybrid z info we refer them here, because alot the good info is here too. Just my 2 cents for what its worth i just don't want a flame war to break out between two sites i really like.

Stock Zs already have cold air intakes. The intake is in front of the radiator out of the engine compartment.

At this price...why not?" I wonder how much back pressure and Hp loss that causes....SHHESH!! The definition of a RICEY PART "Our last batch sold out within 3 days! If you're interested, "BUY IT NOW"! Don't sleep or they'll be gone,..."

Very Cool!!! RB in a Z......well i do have 5 more MM Zs and a MM skyline...Hmmmm..?

I made it out of a muscle machines car i started a thread before now i got a pic. Put a LS1 out of a F&F corvette.

I think the mustang race came off the darius site, i remember seeing it there.

I couldn't upload the video so i created a user name for us. Name:Hybridz Password:fastzcar To see the video just put in these entries.

Sorry....i didn't know...i have the vid on my hard drive i wonder if i can up load it to a site.

THats not a cold air intake!!!! It is a ram air intake!!! It says so on the air intake duct written in Permenent marker.

This has me even thinking of an LS1 swap. So if you did everything yourself you could complete an LS1 swap between 5-6k???? That isn't bad cosidering the type of streetable performance gained. i always thought that swaps like this would end up in the 10k+ range.

I agree!!!.....and a Corvette is a awesome choice. Ready to go fast right off the assembly line!!

If you don't feel like hearing me rant just kindly skip over to the last sentence..... I don't know what it was, maybe a crankshaft bearing or something major....and no i wasn't turning 7k rpm this time. I've always driven this car like a sane person would as any attempts to go fast usually ended up making the clucth slip. The car has always had some valvetrain noise(well that's what i think it was). I was driving along radio blasting on the Highway as i made the exit i lowered the volume as not to annoy people. When i did i noticed the engine was making EXCESSIVE noise. As i came to idle the car almost shut off, i noticed the oil pressure had dropped off dramatically and temps were steadily rising. I parked it and the engine was hot. It would not crank over easily it almost seems like it was locking up. I had oil and all though. I need an L28et. Yeah that's right.....NEED an L28et.

some people think it looks like a S2000 mixed with a viper. I think it looks like a corvette but what i like most about is the rear. Nice modern early C4 rear with circle (not oval) tail lamps.

Just kidding that is a the script for a video game!!! actually thats just the introduction!!

The Space Race was a lie. In the late 1950's, a meteor shower pummeled the Bering Straits. In the debris, American and Soviet scientists simultaneously discovered an off-world bio-metal that they could fabricate into amazing vehicles and weapons. They quickly gathered up and depleted all of the material that had fallen to Earth, and both sides were left wanting more. This began the real Space Race... The one too brutal to televise. They launched their space programs in their efforts to find additional bio-metal deposits, and it was the military imperative that made the space race so intense -- not Kennedy's "for the greater good of man." Neil Armstrong's walk on the moon was actually the biggest cover-up in American history. Nobody knew that we'd built a full moon base just a few feet away. In fact, it was General Collins, commander of the American moon base at Eagle's Nest One, who took the original picture of Neil stepping onto the moon. It's amazing that nobody ever asked who took that picture. The NSA thought they'd made a real mistake when they released it. Everything you've been told about the last 50 years is wrong. When the media looks back on this century, dividing it up, parsing it down to the top 10 or top 100 most important events, they'll be missing the real moments that changed history. For the men that really shaped the future worked behind closed doors, cloaked in secrecy, hidden with ruses about wars that never happened. Thousands of soldiers whose disappearances were written off as accidental or explained, actually died for their country, for their world, in a battle that no monument will ever commemorate. It all started in 1952, when a meteor fell from the sky. This was no ordinary debris from some distant star, this was bio-metal. It's impossible to describe the substance if you've never seen it-- and it can't be classified under any periodic table. It's metal, yes, but it's alive. It thinks, it remembers. It changes shape before your eyes. It has a soul. Both U.S. and Soviet scientists studied bio-metal diligently through the 1950s. Of course, their first thoughts immediately turned to how to use it in battle. And this remarkable substance became a weapon; one that would change the face of war forever. And so the world entered the age of Bio-Metal, though only a handful of people knew. This discovery would advance science and technology at a faster rate than the world has ever experienced before. But first we needed more of it. Lots more. The tensions already existed -- they called it the Cold War. But this war became Hot, and moved into space without anyone ever knowing. The United States formed a secret organization, the National Space Defense Force (NSDF), under the auspices of NASA. The Soviets responded with the Cosmo-Colonist Army (CCA), and a war was on. The race into space became about much more than simply planting a flag on the moon. It became about finding more of the Bio-Metal, finding that elusive source that was sure to be out there in the solar system. Each new deposit of Bio-metal that was discovered fueled the fire, providing more spacecraft, more weapons for both the NSDF and the CCA to continue the war in space. One by one, planets and their satellites fell to one side or the other, each a pawn in the war. While the raging battle took its toll on both American and Soviet forces, scientific experiments conducted with Bio-metal continued back on Earth. The most astounding of these were conducted by Commander Armond Braddock, a brilliant MIT scientist whose skills had been co-opted by the NSDF. Braddock took the dramatic step of combining Bio-metal with human flesh, using human scientific subjects in a kind of experiment that's never been attempted before. The confidential files called it "Project Pedigree." Braddock was given unprecedented access to funds and men, operating under the directive to deliver to the NSDF a "Super Soldier" that could tear through troops with an unparalleled fierceness, thereby bringing a swift end to the war. For the final stage of Project Pedigree, Braddock brought in the Black Dogs, an NSDF squadron led by Lieutenant Frank Burns. The Black Dogs were the best of the best already, the finest physical specimens trained to the maximum capacity of their ability. Braddock took these men and literally fused them into Bio-metal ships, creating a half-man, half-machine force. It's amazing the Black Dogs even survived this process, let alone maintained the strength to return to battle and fight. This new Squadron, now called the Furies, exceed every expectation and became the decisive force in the war, ripping the Soviet soldiers to shreds on Europa. Sole control of a force such as this could bring the world to its knees, a fact that Braddock surely must have thought of as he watched his "progeny" excel. But Braddock could not predict the one unknown in this equation - the existence of a mind, a human will. Burns led the Furies in an uprising, using their super-human abilities to rebel against the man who made these abilities possible-- Braddock. Burns led the Furies in a revolt against Braddock, destroying his lab, and eliminating the Bio-metal plants that made further experimentation possible. To retaliate, Braddock brought the NSDF and the CCA together under the banner of one cause - defeating the now out-of-control Furies and driving them off the planet. The NSDF and CCA helped push this new enemy back, sending the Furies into the farthest reaches of the solar system. They dissappeared and were believed destroyed. Braddock was heralded as a war hero.

I bought muscle machines 240z off of ebay for my little bro. It had a little L6/w triples under the opening hood and everything!!1:64 scale He happened to have a F&F corvette C5 that was beyond hope but it had a good little LS1 engine inside of it. I removed the L6 from the 240z and replaced it with the LS1 from the F&F corvette. Then i broke off the annoying spoiler. Now i have a toy Hybrid Z with an LS1 swap and it looks like it came that way from a toy model factory. I have to give it to my little bro but i like it so much i just might buy another one to give him. All and all i completed a LS1 swap into a Z with less than $8 and 30min of my time Merry Christmas!!

i thought this was pretty cool!! http://www.toy-jet.ls1fun.com/

Quote: At one point three tyres, amazingly, roll uphill. They do so because inside they have been weighted with bolts and screws which have been positioned with fingertip care so that the slightest kiss of kinetic energy pushes them over, onward and, yes, upward. During the pre-shoot set-ups, film assistants had to tiptoe round the set so as not to disturb the feather-sensitive superstructure of the arranged metalwork. The slightest tremor of an ill-judged hand could have undone hours of work.
