    AWD conversion for 350z?

    So my bro in WA asked me if it was possible to do an AWD conversion on a 350z. I told him it would probably be more trouble than it's worth....thoughts?

    DUH!, Everyone knows you can make a 350z AWD...
    Fisrt you buy a forsale sign, then sell the car and buy something AWD!

    So i guess it can be done!

      maybe, considering the G35x is AWD. might be bolt on, but I won't bet on it. Y not just buy a G35X

      looks like there's a lot going on in there.

        haha....thanks man. JUN auto mechanic did it by cannibalizing a skyline, but I think your method might turn out better.

          yeah, I can't even imagine trying to buy components of the G35x suspension and drivetrain piece by piece...probably would be cheaper to just buy the whole car anyway.

          I'm going on the assumption that he already owns the car though, with no option to opt out in favor of the G35x.

          so he might be SOL....I'll just tell him to man up, sell it, and save for the new Nissan GT-R

            Since the G35 and the Z use the same FR platform, in theory the G35X AWD drivetrain could work. From what I've seen the ATTESA system in it isn't sport-oriented, it's more suited to cold weather traction control. If you could design it so it's on most of the time, it'd help put power to the ground, but the stock system will usually work only coming out of corners.

              Yeah, being on the same platform, I would think the G35's AWD would be able to be put on a 350Z... I'm sure it wouldn't be direct, and there would be some fabricating necessary... but I don't think it'd be TOO hard.

                  Out of curiosity, why does your brother want to add AWD? 350Zs are kinda heavy already.

                    With an unlimited budget, anything is possible.

                    I would agree, the G35X would be a nice donor platform, but why would you want to swap to an AWD 350Z?

                    I did see a newer Eclipse with the EVO drive train that kicked major ass. Very reminiscant of the old DSM Eclipses.

                      Only a hundred away from an evo IX....heavy, but about average.

                        i'm going on the assumption that he's got a 350 already...his girlfriend is loaded, and it's christmas... bastard. he wants an AWD car, and he can't exactly sell his present...so there you go. besides....it could be fun
