http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=286885&page=4 Check out this thread. Most of it has been sorted out without too many issues, but I am using a TH350. I wasnt sure on the T5, just going off an eyeball of one.

I havent tried fitting a T5 but the main problem with the T56 seems to be the height of the case,T5 is much lower in that area. If I wasnt using a stand alone, the firewall would need to be knocked in around 1/2" where the sensors are. The throttle body will not clear a standard bonnet, mine is raised and vented. I will get some phots up toomorrow of the sump, throttle etc. I started making the headers today, they are along the same lines as those others, just a little more tricky.

I have been watching this thread and others similar for some time now. I am in the process of fitting an LSX to my Z32. Some of you may have seen the thread on aus300zx.com. I have my engine and trans mounted(LS1/TH350). The engine is as far back as possible without cutting the firewall or tunnel. The tunnel did require some hammer and dolly work but nothing compared to cutting it open. I am using a stand alone ecu so do not need the sensors at the rear of the intake, hence no firewall clearancing in that area. My steering rack and crossmember remain factory and in factory position. I am using the Moroso oil pan #20140 and clearance is excellent. It does hang around 1" below the crossmember but this will not be an issue in my application. If you are insistant on a m6 trans then yes you will have to mod the tunnel, no way around it. I believe a T5 trans would fit without major reconstruction. As far as headers are concerned, nothing locally will fit around the steering shaft. This does not affect me as I am going turbo anyway, so headers will be custom. Throttle to hood clearance wold be an issue but I am using a vented bonnet so there is plenty of room. I feel setting the engine a little further forward and not cutting the firewall is a better option. The weight difference between the LSX/TH350 and VG30DETT/auto is quite alot. Let me know if you have any queries or would like photos of anything.
