I am extreamly impressed. And they have an advantage from us, because I am sure the car was built in Japan, where they probably took parts off the GTR at will.
Excellent Job, does anyone know who built this car?

Hope to have the dough to do something like that in the future.

I didn't mean an AWD conversion, I was only talking about the RB motor. Batlground's 350Z is RWD.
According to the Batlground in another thread, they quoted $13,000 for the conversion. If it does become more common, it will be cheaper.

First off, I want to state that the camera I used is probably the worst digital camera ever invented. So unfortunately many of my pictures turned out fuzzy. I'm really upset about this. My camera batteries were dead so I had to borrow one. Hopefully, someone with a better camera got some pics. Anyways, here we go.
My friend at Tein USA sent me some pics (the pics on this thread are better). Tein's R&D technician is there right now at Pike's Peak. From what i understand, the car is running too hot at the upper elevations. They have swapped motors twice already. Here's a pic of the interior.

Not that anybody cares, but here's one of me with the silver Fairlady.
I've got about 10 more pictures of the drivetrain, but they might as well of been pictures of a Toyota Corolla as bad as the pictures turned out.
