triple that... and thats mostly just parts.

Function:tuned did it themselves the owner of the car who was a part time employee and the owner of the shop did all the work. They used the AWD system off a G35X.

The owner of the car told me he estimated it to be 10-15k in parts when it was all said and done. There was lots of fabbing and custom parts and stuff that had to be run since its not as simple as taking it off and just swapping it over.

First you begin with a 350Z. That's where I would start.

Haha I think when I get mine I'll just stick with rear wheel drive. I was just curious how much it would cost to do the swap.

Cost a lot unless you have access to a G35x and do the work yourself.

If you are seriously interested in attempting this project We have the awd set up out of a g35x that we could sell. Keep in mind if you did this it would have to be automatic, I do not know of a 6spd trans that will work with the infiniti awd set up.
