I hope you have AT LEAST 20k+. I'm not downing it, I just don't think you are going to waste that much money. I also do not think you understand the complexity of what you are getting yourself into.Originally Posted by LSR
Facts:
Wheelbase:
104.3 Nissan 350z
103 R32 GTR
107 R33 GTR
104.9 R34 GTR
Engine Weight:
VQ35 appx. 400 pounds
RB26 appx. 720 Pounds
Obviously you would more than likely have to get the R34 Configuration because an R34 GTR's wheel base is similar and the AWD configuration is quite complex, it cannot be modified that much do to the front differential is made into the oil pan just as all GTR's have a differential in the oil pan. With the GTR being twin turbo, the turbo's are on the same side as your steering column. The Transmission is 2 times with width of the stock VQ tranny because it has a bulge of a transfer case on its side. Thats just some of the facts before you get in over your head. Keep in mind that an R34 Drive train WILL cost you at LEAST 10k+. You could go with an R32 drive train but that will definitely need to be modified because the crankshaft snout issue. There are ways to do what you want. I listed the long expensive ways. A cheap way would be to get a GTS4 or Steaga drive train...they come with smaller motors RB20/Neo RB25 but you could sale that engine and get the RB26 and use the GTS4 drive train, the tranny is the same as a GTR but its cheaper because it doesn't come with the RB26 attached...weird I know but thats how they work. Like I said, I'm not downing your plans, just putting some insight on whats to come.
