So you're sitting here looking at this 350z, right?













Nope, it's a 2g.. 350z front, G35 rear, and to add to the swaps done in a DSM.. an STi engine(TMIC without a hoodscoop lol).

Seriously though, that's some great work.

damn that's impressive, don't know why they did the tmic though that seems odd, probably doesn't see a lot of road time though


I think there are two pictures where anyone here could probably tell in a heartbeat that it's a 2g, the picture with the top up and the one with the door open where you can see the door panel

The work looks well done.

But I still thinks it's a gawdy waste of money and time.

Body work looks clean, however the interior is sub par. None of the materials seem to go with the exterior and I could've done the seat upholstery work better with my sister's sewing machine. If they cleaned up the interior of that car, it'd be damn near unstoppable on the show circut, but until then...they should just keep the top up and the doors closed.

She's been sold My best friend bought her though, so she's still in good hands.

Impressive workmanship, but absolutely pointless. If you want your car to look like a 350Z, then buy a fucking 350Z. To do something like that is just retarded. It's tacky.

How much for a Z front clip? $2000? How much for a G35 rear clip? $3000? How much did they pay for Johnny Ricer's Spyder? $1000? From the looks of the paint, the materials involved and the stereo bullshit, I bet they spent as much, if not more than they would have if they had just bought a Z in the first place.

What a colossal waste of time. That's nice body work, but it's ignorant, imo.

EDIT:
Oh yeah. And they put in a Subaru motor. WTF? Is this the McGuyver class or something on the dopey show circuit?

Thank you Driggzy...you always seem to have the same idea's I do, it's just your not too lazy to write everything down like I am.

Complete waste of time. Maybe someone should go sawzall a hole in their hood and make a cardboard scoop so the IC atleast get's SOME air to it.

'98 Talon...gone, but not forgotten

Couple of things I noticed ...

Suspension geometry is f'd. Bad.
Putting in that STI motor, put in that STI AWD trans. That thing looks AWD from the pictures. Nice.
The paint ... all that money spent painting that thing ... and they couldn't paint behind the body panels and other covered spots? Weak.
TMIC with no airflow. Completely stupid ... it's not even the stock TMIC which then I could understand because the didn't want to alter the motor or whatever. it's a HUGE FMIC that they put on top.

I like the idea of being original but damn ... so much stupid shit in there still ... with the TMIC being the worst.

oh yea, STI front suspension with 2gnt rear suspension. No good.

All that welding with no rust protection in the crevices = rust in 6 months. Then again japan never was concerned with rust protection, why should its people.

Hey, atleast they kept the doors of a 2g ( notice the dip in the doors)

Impressive job. One of the better conversions Ive ever seen. Would never do it myself, see no point. And mistake me if Im wrong but looks like this wasn't done in the states. Japan maybe?

Only reasononing I can see behind the Top Mount is because the car more than likley doesn't get driven and when the hoods popped at a show you get more of a "bling factor" than having it tucked behind the bumper.

happy p'ple

I think the car looks better then a stock eclipse, stock 350Z, or a stock G35. The car looks nice to me. I dont like the idea of the STI motor, but its different and if its not driven then who cares. Thats justmy opinion, though.

Cool. I on the other hand appreciate all the hard work and labor that went into this creation. You have to respect something that is so custom and divine.

I would never do that. I wish I had the money to though. lol

And I love the rims.

Amazing body work

I love it

I don't know how to feel about this. I think the hard work and effort to be original needs to be appreciated. I don't like the idea of having the engine swaped out. I know they wanted it to look like a 350z, but why not just buy one. I like the car. It just looks like someone bought a 350z and dropped it on nice wheels and customized the interior. Very nice body work though!
