My exterior is completed. If I still had my vortech + supporting mods installed, and wasn't in the middle of a 17k LS swap, I would drop that money for sure. With the suspension, exterior, motor done, the only think needed to get the G up to par with some of the cars that I look up to would be a much nicer interior.

However, as of now, it will take me a while as I need to finish the swap and make sure that I am happy with the end project.
I'm considering LS swap once my VQ goes belly up, but I hope that by that time somebody figures something out with VR38DETT GT-Rs engine, so maybe I'll swap to that one.

Good luck with that.... its been done before on a 240. Not cost effective whatsoever. It would be cheaper to do an LS swap and build a twin turbo setup for it. Seriously.

I talked to my interior guy I'm getting mine done for about 5-6k. I'll ask him if you guys shipped the interior or drove it up, or if we could work something out if he could do multiples. I was originally doing real carbon finpber on pieces, but I think I may do a satin carbon hydrograph. Maybe piano black we will see.

I've tossed the idea of a gtr motor swap into my ride. My motor worked great before my extensive build happened. It's now 2 years and not been turned over once, so I'm hoping it doesn't fail to quickly. If it does I will just have to fix the issue and for this g I may just keep the vq in this car.

Horrible idea. The VR38 costs like 4 times what your car is worth. The entire appeal of the LSx swaps is low cost for high return. Not high cost for medium return.

Hey Guitar are you serious about this project? I found the perfect car.

https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-car...fast-sale.html

If you parted out that motor and all the other goodies, you could easily make 7-9k, leaving you with a very cheap shell for a LSx swap and Vaydor kit.

Yea. I am serious about the project. But I need to finish up my car before I hop on another project. I will most likely thi of doing it in a few years. When I grab the car I will probably look at copart, or a g that has a blown motor or something, drop a grand or more for the car, get rid of some things in the car that I don't need and send it to Florida where his shop is. I have some things in the he thinking of doing for motor and drivetrain, but it's a swap for sure.

No. Coupe interior just fully customized. So rear bench and all.
