Sooooo.....has anyone build an AWD Z?

My impression is that the AWD system from the X is more for safety and wet/snow traction, not cornering oriented, it'll just give the car more push up front theoretically?

Also, I thought some suspension parts aren't interchangeable between the G37 and G37x, not sure how that translates into this application.

Good luck

Well the AWD will give the Z a evo/sti type of feel i guess.

And the only suspension parts that i would need from the g37x are front wheel hub where the bearings are and this one should be exactly the same as Zs exept it will have teeth for the front halfshafts, now i dont know what else will be need to be modifed or redesined there untill i have a car to take spects from, my friend just got an awd q50x, the layout looks same, but i doubt he will let me take his suspension apart cuz the car is leased.

This part is actually true from what i've heard elsewhere. It isn't a full-time system. Just get the GTR guts (engine and all) and modify to fit. Then you'll be kicking ***.
