GT-R front clip prices (not including a rwd transmission and other assorted swap parts) from unstable-hybrids.com:

R32 - $5500
R33 - $6500
R34 - $8000

However, yes, its extremely innovating, but.... for the cost of both that Z, and the swap, id purchase a used R34 ... woudlnt you?

N if i were to swap in the rb26, id throw it in the new G35 to keep with the skyline concept
I considered a G35, but they weigh more then the Z.

I wish I could afford a R34! My next car will probably be a r32 or 33 though.

I got a good deal on all my stuff, because I have very supportive friends and sponsors.

Even Top Secret in Japan said congradulations on the project, I encourage everyone to express intrest in Batlground Engineering, because they indeed excel above every other shop I know of. Just last month, the Batlground Supra dynoed over 950rwhp; and its driven on the streets here in Atlanta every day.

To poweraddict:

How are you getting the weight down to 2900 lbs? If you don't mind sharing, of course.

You would also come to find that the skyline (g35) has faster times than the Z.... even tho they share the same tranny, engine, and overall drivetrain.

I know the difference between 'then' and 'than'. But when you are doing as much as im doing right now, then you probably wouldn't care either.

But I guess you have nothing else better to do, but point out grammer mistakes.

And if the G35 is faster, please explain how. Being that it weighs more, and has less power. I would like to hear this....

Come on don't get sucked into arguing with nitpicky post whores. Tell me how you got a 350Z down to 2900 lbs instead.

I think he thinks the G35 is faster because he saw it run a 1/4 like a 10th or two faster in a magazine.

Carbon Fiber parts, and lighter seats, my exhaust weighs 15lbs, compared to the stock one, which weighed over 50 im sure.

A lot of secrets

In my previous post, Im not taking away from the G35, I love that car, and im not saying the 350Z is better.

I just can't stand assholes to try to insult my intelligence.
