Also, snow tires, no matter how good they are, don't seem to work too well in heavy snow especially in rwd. Chains are better but i'm afraid they'll break and ruin my paint and underbody.
my friend judges car shows and does a lot of custom work at his shop and he know a kid that took the awd from the sedan and put it in the coupe i dont know if it went right in or if custom parts had to be made ill find out and let u know
well...lets put it this way...
here is a picture of my G35x's motor bay
and here is a picture of a RWD Sedans motor bay
see something different??
yea----theres a **** load more wires! check out that second wire loom ontop of the timing case. I would imagine this is only the tip of the iceberg concerning an AWD conversion

I was thinking that someone was saying that the G35X uses the same system as the last GT-R, which it doesn't, it uses a variation on the outdated R32 drivetrain.

Sorry for the confusion.

I too have been looking into this. From a structural stand point, the frame rail on both the coupe and sedan are identical, as well as the mounting points. I suspect the main issues will be the wiring, computers, and actual front suspension. The best way I can think of is get a wrecked (hit in the rear) G35X of the same year as your coupe and start from there.
