Hiraishin is a technique that connects two points in space together and thereby translocates the user. Shunshin is a technique that enhances the body so that one can temporarily move faster than ordinary people are capable of perceiving. They're only alike in that they cause things to change location rapidly. there is actually nothing that shows in any of the source material be it manga anime or Databooks that state they have no relationship or similarities Nothing any belief about that is just an opinion. all though we know for a fact that Minato is skilled in both techniques but for all we know they use similar methods Flying thunder god tecnique could be like the Weirding way from Dune it could be simply an alteration of the individuals perception to the point they can alter the reality of space and time ie for all we know it could be that when using the flying thunder god technique they do not get displaced from 1 point and appear in another it could be like a Ampted up Body flicker that uses Perception to alter space and time as in I think therefore i am There ie i want to be from point a to point b but i do not want any time to occur therefore i no time is taken to get there all though it is likely just like kamui in that the user more than likely literally jumps out side of time in space temporarily and Re Appears in a different point. but we can not say for sure because there was not an actual explanation on how Flying thunder god works
