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.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
