Sounds very cool, and your car would be absolutely amazing if this came through even semi decent. I wish I could comprehend all those diagrams though

IMHO though, If I were going to be doing this much work to a car it would be a little project car for shows and such, definitely not a daily driver, because if something were to happen in the process of this conversion you'd be left without a car I don't know if you have a backup car but from the sounds of it you seem pretty knowledgeable in this area and seem to know the risks involved so the best of luck to you.

Can't wait for this to get started

20-25% from the few AWD auto's I have seen on a 4W dyno, so 203-216 hp @ all 4 wheels

i'm not going to get involved with the other stuff but theoretically you could have a driveshaft where the exhaust tunnel is.... just get custom side exit exhaust... go true dual with 2 magnaflow mufflers like the Artisan exhaust.... but as for the other stuff, i'm no expert so im not going to say yes or no...

Not sure how nissan does it but for a AWD our VQ engine is also mounted in the wrong direction too

Way cheaper to buy a AWD G37 I would think

You guys made me do it...

Back on topic!

I am not going to allow petty bickering to go on, regardless of who the member is, we need to keep things on a positive note!

If Mendi doesnt attempt this, I wouldnt blame him, but lets remember why we are all here, to discuss the topic at hand as bizarre or outlandish as it may seem, its just a discussion!
