Lethal Injection: 05blakz33's Rb26 Swap
#81
This is a cool project!
I have a question, and I don't know how feasible it is, other then I know of at least a couple of cars that have used the G35x front suspension to convert the Z to AWD:
Could someone take a full R32-R34 gtr drivetrain, and in combination with the G35x front suspension make basically a GTR?
Well obviously it IS possible, but could it be something straightforward that say a person such as yourself could do?

WOW.....
did anyone else want to punch that guy in the face for saying WOW a thousand times? He obviously doesn't know **** about cars and he's trying to talk about the car. "is that 18 pounds"....it was 18mmhg in vacuum when he asked. what a douche.
nice car though. videos are much nicer with the sound turned off.

05blakz33, I'm glad to see you're making progress. Please keep us updated with the tuning process and the results.
Also, did you get your headlights from a member on here? They look like the Q45 lights that Ravi (I think) retrofitted a while back. If you did it yourself, DIY? BTW, how's the light output and visibility with them?

I actually made the headlights myself. Sent them off the Advanced Automotive concepts late last year and 6 months and $500 late i got two destroyed headlights and the worst JBW alignment job i have ever had to see... Got a full refund and knocked them out myself in two weeks. The light output is awesome, they are perfectly aligned and I'm using the rear Q45 projectors not the knock offs so light output is a lot better then my stock headlights.
