dude...you sound like either a troll or big time newbie. Your thread in the General Discussion forum indicates you don't even know what trims are available for the Z and now you're talking about an AWD or 4WD conversion for the Z?

if you are serious, i think you may be a 16 year old danger to yourself as well as the community at large.

hey jimster, love your rims

and no I dont want 4wd, its just a black hole for hp, I dont launch my car enough that I care about my 60foot time so I can watch my trap speed drop. awd is a magazines wetdream, it helped almost every stat they post, and hurts the rest.

If you have the money for an AWD Z, then go for it. Otherwise, the Z is fine as it is.

humanlightshow...didnt mean to be a dick but doing an AWD conversion isn't a bolt-on modification from an all-in-one kit you buy off the shelf, it's something that would have to be engineered involving a center differential, driveshafts and power output which would most likely not be in the budget for your parents.

quick 10 second thought:

-the car would be so heavy it wouldnt even be worth it
-if the car was turned into a race car, it couldn't race in many series
-who's gonna rally a Z?
-drive a Z in snow? waste of $

pass

Well, to be fair, there's a guy that Rally races a Type R and I saw a Mustang in a rally race when watching Super Tuner TV.

I would feel terrible if this wasn't a troll. Dude, your parents, cousins maybe? If you happen to succeed in making an AWD 350Z, sounds like you'd have to wait for 8 years for your license to drive the damn thing, anyways. Oh, and its mechanic.
