Smile AWD 350Z(No more shift drifts)

You know when your racing down the street, you shift to 2nd and gun but the car drifts out? The reason for those of you who do not know is because the 350Z,sadly, is RWD(Rear Wheel Drive). Inifiniti and Nissan are the same factory cars by engine, chasis etc.. Heres the solution.

For you rich guys-

*Go to a dealer and buy a pre-owned G35(4dr). You have to make sure that its the 4 door and not the coupe. The reason is because the 4dr is AWD. All you have to do is take out the suspension and chasis and switch it with your Z's.

All you cheap guys-

* Buy one from a junkyard and do the exact same thing.

This will give you a nice jump off the line and will get rid of that drift when you switch to 2nd and gun it.

!IMPORTANT!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU TAKE IT TO YOUR DEALER BUT TO A SHOP THAT HAS EXPERIENCE WITH SPORTS CARS(SUCH AS PUTTING IN TURBOS AND REBUILD CARS ETC...). i AM NOT SURE IF THE DEALER WOULD EVEN DO IT.

Hope this helps and rev them turbos HIGH!

itsnotready - this is quite possibly 1 of the most retarded threads i've read.. so many things wrong with your post..

The car does not drift out when you shift into 2nd, it merely loses traction for a split second.
Everybody here knows the Z is RWD.
Not every G35 sedan is AWD.. only G35x is.
There are more things you have to do than just take out the suspense and chassis and change it with your Z.
Where will you find a G35x in a junkyard?
The AWD doesn't make that much of a difference, as seen on G35x, in terms of speed and times. In the end, it slows it down.
No, this thread was just retarded so it didn't help.
Most people don't have turbos here so we can't "rev them turbos HIGH"


edit - hahaha my bad.. i was too angry with his stupid post i forgot to double check mine.. my bad

Ya, you can always switch the motor but one of the mechanics i work with suggested this because buying an engine to make it AWD. He did it to his car but i dont know if he had top cut it but he put it on himself.

Just in case you're for real, how will you be like those guys from FF3 Tokyo Drift if you won't drift out any more?

G35X's are the only G's with AWD, and this will not work for obvious reasons.

The point of the thread was not to give you a better drift but to get rid of it.

Dude... Why would you buy a RWD to convert it to AWD?

Sell the Z, get an EVO or STI.

I think you got a messed up 350z all 350z's are all wheel drive. they don't make a rear wheel drived one. Did you get it used? someone must have taken the AWD out of it. What idiots
