KraZeeZX Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 A few quick revs: http://www.streetneeds.com/uploads/video/z32ls1_video1.avi Lemme know what y'all think! Ignore the bad paint.. it's getting fixed pronto! I've got a small leak in the driver-side header gasket... just makes the car sound funny with that extra putt-putt-putt sound! Not to worry though, I'll be getting new headers soon and it will be taken care of! This is the first footage ever released of my z32 ls1 conversion! Let me just say this... (besides the exhaust leak)... it sounds... (*i'm at a loss of words at the moment*).... perfect. -Vann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ON3GO Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 wheres the supercharger? awesome though.. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Call me a knuckle-dragging muscle car type - but that thing sounds GREAT! Hmm. The LS motors have such bolt on potential. And Z32s with bad turbos can be had fairly cheap. SHWEEET! I love the "shift...Originality" stuff - great job! Replace shift with "screw" and it's all good .

KraZeeZX Posted September 27, 2004 Author Share Posted September 27, 2004 wheres the supercharger? awesome though.. mike LONG story.. but to make it short: it was illegally taken off the car (basically stolen) and I'll be getting compensation sometime in the future. Once I get the money back... I've got 2 options lined up: A) Stay NA and do a big heads/cam swap plus some other cool stuff Get a c5 vette procharger system (that one will fit under my stock hood ) We'll just have to wait and see how large the check is. My goal is to get my HP/TQ ratings up to the equivalent of the new Viper or better... 500/500 is a nice figure to aim for! pparaska - Call me a knuckle-dragging muscle car type - but that thing sounds GREAT! I'm so in love with the sound.... back when I started tinkering with the idea of a v8 swap' date=' I had to decide which engine to use. I looked out for various v8 cars while driving and then I heard this gorgeous tone come out of a black 2000 SS... that's what sealed the deal on the LS1 for my swap. Turned out the guy had a dual exhaust setup (awesome since that's the only thing I would even consider on my car) and he was using magnaflow mufflers... I went with dual Dynomax's.. but the sound is EXACTLY the same. It's fun to watch the video, but the effect is kinda goofed up since my car is in such poor shape in the vid. I extracted the audio and played the mp3 seperate just to listen.. and all I can picture in my mind when I hear it is that same black SS. I can't wait to get a new vid of it revving once it's painted, has the hood on it and also my new 18x9 polished wheels! Then I'll really be able to get the total effect of the conversion! Hmm. The LS motors have such bolt on potential. And Z32s with bad turbos can be had fairly cheap. SHWEEET! Yup... I'm looking into a set of headers right now.. hopefully long-tube! But just intake, full exhaust and some tuning will yield close to 65hp !!! I actually started with my NA... it ran just fine and had 102,000 miles on it. I kinda said "Screw it" to my mom's... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy and completely tore the car apart! I already knew I wasn't going to get rid of my car.. even with the stock non-turbo v6... but I figured this would MAKE me want to keep her around. I love the "shift...Originality" stuff - great job!Replace shift with "screw" and it's all good Hehe.. maybe for the next released vid.. I'll add that effect just for ya! lol Thanks for all the compliments guys! I'll try and keep the media coming in weekly as the car nears total completion! -Vann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john kosmatka Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 So did you take it for a spin or no. I bet its gonna be fast. Yeah I love the sound too, I expect to see a big muscle car and there sits a Z32, its awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I love the sound too, I expect to see a big muscle car and there sits a Z32, its awesome. Lol.. hey, for all you know, there could be an SS camaro sitting behind the camera and I'm just playin this whole thing out...but that would just be dumb! No.. I haven't driven it yet.... I'm holding out until it's completely done. I KNOW it's going to be fast... heck... the fastest car I've driven (or sat in for that matter) since my conversion started, has been my 1986 BMW 325es... thats the "Efficiency Sport" model... a whopping 125 crank horses (for 1 year and 10 months now!). I actually am considering putting some plastic seat covers on before I drive it for the first time so my nice leather seats will be safe... ya know, just in case. My dad drove it to the body shop and didn't know how to describe it... basically, he told me it reminded him of the good 'ol days of when he used to drive his 66 GTO... except.... it's SCARY FAST! He hasn't had a 'quick' car since 1984 and that was a first-gen RX7... he sold that and drove a Volvo tank for 15 years and now he's been stuck with our family minivan. I feel so bad for him... he LOVES the new 350z's, so I always buy him shirts and accessories for the new Z and egg him on to buy himself one! 8) I can't help but let him be the first to drive my Z... he just loved it when I let him take it to work back when it had the v6, I'll have to let him do it again now too! He's been so helpful and supportive with my swap, I think it's been a way for him to get back into cars which he's missed so much and also to spend some good quality time with me (we haven't had much of that ever until the conversion).. it's amazing what an insane hybridZ swap can do! -Vann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
