the 370z isn't even a good looking car as it stands...then you want to put that front on a car that is 15+ years older. The stock 33 front looks better than that haha. Spend your money on something that you can actually benefit from...Power/handling mods or a house deposit.

No, I'm not high. Each to their own. My neighbour has one. For the $$$ he paid there is a big list of cars I would purchase before one of those. They are nothing special and they are tiny.

Have you ever even driven one?

250KW stock in a car that weighs 1400kg RWD. Amazing fun to drive.

Haven't driven it but have been in it numerous times. As I said above, each to their own. I'm not convinced and probably never will be. Aesthetically they are not for me :no:

Fairenough.

Dunno what the Quote was about lol but yer even I guess R35 GTR front on there would look nice but u need to continue the fatness around the car lol I lie the look and yer the 370z front would be cheaper to acquire then the GTR 35 if someone can mod that pic with some fatter rears and side skirts and get rid of the whale tail see how it looks then.

ohh hey man yer looks better nice mate nope I havnet asked an engineer or anything yet is there anything I need to know im guessing if it isn't really modifying the chasis or actually structure and all things like lighst and stuff still work im guessing it cant be that much of a problem maybe bonnet and stuff like that I dunno.

But hey all things like intercoolers and boost controllers aftermarket ECu's and neons and all that have a warning saying For off road use only so even with an engineers cert they can still defect you go check it out.

Im guessing a lot of stuff will need to either be welded or fibreglassed up moulds aswell so I cant see things like bonnets and bumpers being structully sound compared to stock standard items.

I havnet measured it up either so I have no idea if it will fit.

couple of questions you have to ask are:

will you be using an r33 gtst or an r33 gtr (ovibous reasons being ones wider but more expensive)
how much will it be to source a 370z front cut/rolling body vs getting fibreglass made panels
what engine do you want to run (please say rb26)
and last have you looked around for a well respected panel shop thats capable of pulling of such a task

but youd be looking at more then what you could build a very quick gtr with to pull this off, and at the end of the day.. doing a conversion like this youd want some sort of modified engine to go into it to walk the walk

but go for it :)

well to be honest I wouldn't use a GTR id keep it RWD do a lil drifting in it and il leave the RB series motor in for now this case a Rb25DET maybe later down the track go to a VG30DETT so the engine is in a better position for chasis balnce but that's just my thoughts might even leave the RB25 in there and rebuild an Rb30 block and put that in with the RB25 head.

I dunno this is all an idea atm I know its gunna cost abit to get stuff done but those the breaks if you want something I love the stupid comments too thanks its all good il add to your posts done guys np.

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
