i used to get a good laugh outa all the SoCal Dift Ninja King threads wish he would come back and suprise us all again

anyone follow the thread? Its nearly complete.

Yeah, I check that thread at least once a week to see the progress. That's some amazing work!

Def not the worst I've ever seen.....

woah that came out of nowhere, didn't think this would actually ever be completed


not sure if i like it, but def. appreciate all of the hard work put into it

That looks sick, id rock it

haha, someone's car has been at GTM getting a turbo kit improperly installed in the time it took him to build this car.

Apparently it only weighs 3000lbs with a gas engine and 3600 with an electric. I'm skeptical to believe a 500lb weight reduction.

I'm not a fan of chopping my cars up for this type of thing but all I have yo say is wow. All the bashing and criticism this guy went through and this is what it turned into, I'd be proud of myself even if no body bought the kit you still have something like that sitting at home. Props to the hard work.

Nope. I'd still rather drive my G35 over a car that tries to be something it isn't.

Mods need to give you a warning for that post. I vote for ban.

quoting my previous post to bring some real beauty on this page.

:bowrofl: someone really needs to bump that thread asking for an update from OP.

Damn, much props to OP for his hard work. I don't understand how so many people can hate on a dude for designing and altering something that's his. Personally I think the kit looks great. As long as it isn't just show and no go, then why not.

Yes I'm so jealous that I don't have a puke colored abomination thats fugly and lacks a track record for performance. I'm also jealous I don't have a mid-engine body design on my front-engine chassis. Lets not forget a hacked up unibody who's structural integrity is most likely weakened due to the proposed 500lb weight reduction. I went through that entire thread and followed the build and I have yet to see anything regarding structural reinforcements or anything performance orientated other than its looks.

Educate yourself before coming on here and sounding like an immature little brat.

And there's the problem…
This guy's fabrication skills are remarkable, I just wished he didn't turn a G35 into something its not.

I can count the properly built G35s I have ever seen on Driver on one hand.

Whats your definition of a proper build?

For a puke colored abomination, it's seemed to do decently at the two small shows it's been to (SEMA and Festival of Speed). Why is it such an issue to create a cab-forward designed ''KIT'' car on a well built front engine chassis? Being that it is a "Kit" car, what's to stop someone from just using this geometry to develop a tube chassis/ mid config.? A properly built cage is in place and the drivetrain/suspension was not half assed. If you didn't see anything regarding structure or performance, you haven't read enough. This particular car has dual 9'' DC brush putting out 600 ft-lbs.

The G35 was probably used because it is a good platform, it's available, and has good aftermarket support. But, what do I know? I'm just a fan of G's and I love how this kit turned out.

The products of car shows doesn't say much.
Do you have a link where thats stated, because obviously I missed it. As well as the part describing weight distribution. I do understand the G35 chasis being used solely as a testbed for a body design, but I still don't buy all these claims that this prototype is a supercar. And I'm all for someone making a custom chasis for something like this since thats the only way this can be done properly. If thats what actually happened then I would have a different POV. I would still think its ugly but thats just personal preference.

The concept of electric powered "supercars" doesn't mean squat to me until technology gets to the point where the motors can be powered efficiently.

Let's not start that again....

How many of you are old enough to remember that reference?

I do agree that most shows are hardly a reference to quality, but these particular shows give a better gage.

I'll find links when I get a break. Weight distribution is controllable based off the direction of the build (drive train placement or in this case battery/drive placement).

Yes, EV's have plenty of room to progress when it comes to efficiency. But, being that this car is for fun, I don't think efficiency is the biggest concern. I don't think a comparable gas drive would be very efficient either.

can't any of those vids to play :(

EDIT: Restarted my browser and it worked fine.

No corners cut, all aspects of the car improved.

Ill be really honest. Well done. I gave you he'll for doing this months ago. Thought you were a hooligan in your garage and I would never see this finished. Honestly well done. I think it looks good. I don't like the electric conversion. I don't like all show some go. But the car looks great. Interior looks great. Not my favorite color scheme... But guys a little respect haha. His build is better than mine. And my build has tanked forever.

dude need to slap on the 06 tails

I agree with that. All that work and no dual ring 06 tails...

impressed. didn't think it would have completed. I wouldn't buy one myself, but well done...

I'm debating on it haha. I really am talked to them and installed with interior and structure of the car, it's like 21k or so and they install it. Then you paint it and your out.

Really not bad. LS2 turbo swap, kit, interior, wheels, paint. Could have a 800hp exotic car for around 40k.

That's what I'm sayin haha

Sorry but if I was going to build a kit car, using the G35 would be one of my last choices.

Hell, I'd just build an SLC.

Or a Factory Five GTM.

Name one reason to choose this "vaydor" or whatever over the other machines. It screams tacky to me. You can't just combine the most aggressive features of supercars, blow them out of proportion, slap it on a FR entry level car and expect a good design. It just looks busy, IMO.

^Considered going with the GTM before buying the G, one of the nicest kit cars IMO.
Whats the matter, did I kill your dream of owning a Tesla??? Todays Lithium batteries are nothing spectacular.

I agree on the gtm. Freaking love it. I don't know,though. I like the vaydor kit. I don't know what it is about it. Maybe it's the audi headlights, I don't know.

^ It's your opinion, I can respect that.

Personally, for me, there is too much going on.

Yea no I feel ya. When I first read this page I was like O crap here we go another one of these, but I see it and WOW haha. I also really like the interior. I hate the colors they chose. Unique but ugly. I would love to do a GTM build, but I like how on this one I can send them my car at any time 15k later you have a TOTALLY different car. I mean it is the price of some new cars… but DAMN.

That is the point about having choices, it is up to each individual to choose what is best for them.

The front is koo. The rear is too much. It looks like there would be an engine back there but no lol

Yea, I'm in e mails with them. If you have them do the bodywork, then they will build the roll cage and frame to the car. So I don't know where the new trunk is or how big it is.

It might not be your cup of tea (or mine either) but you gotta admit that the work was well executed.

^ I will admit the work is good. All the parts look like they fit (go gaps).

But it looks way too busy for me.

Are there more pics/details on the interior?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mischieftv/11141895994/
Full custom glass interior covered to customer request as a $6500 option.

that's really nice but 6500? What does that include? Does it include the seats/dash equiptment/leather wrap.

There might be a niche here for those who want to upgrade their inteiror yet keep the 2 + 2 functionality.

That $6500 is a custom dash, seats, center console, head liner, door panels, trim, inserts, rear fire wall and all material wrapped to your liking.

This interior was all tooled around this kit. The price is actually pretty low considering the amount of work and quality.

that is insane amount of work.

I'd consider an interior kit that could be plug and play for coupe. That would be awesome.

I wonder if you can get just the interior. 6.5k is an amazing price for a full custom interior like that.

I have been e mailing them back and forth here and there. The interior is 100 percent custom to the vaydor kit. They rebuild the body of the car. So they extend the front and stretch the back I believe. They make it to a 2 seats. If I pick up a donor g35 this is what I will be doing. But that's years down the road. Because I have a hot rod I want to do first or save up for a 67 sting ray. But that's me. I decided not to go this route because every time I see my g the way it is I want to keep it that way haha. I have a guy here that for my interior build which is 100 percent custom with a new steering wheel carbon fiber accents everything is custom, I was quoted high end 8k. So that would be taking my factory parts and re do all of it. So I'm hoping to be in there at the 6k mark.

^ with you.

However there would be an even bigger market if they were willing to make a modified version to keep the functionality of the coupe by keeping the back seats, as those are the reason a lot of us went with the G vs. the Z.

Athough that would mean they would have to desing the whole rear section to match the front, and the armrest area to flow to the rear section. Maybe just the same design with the sloping center but if it sloping btw the rear seats.

A man can dream, right? :)

Any pics of the center console, and other angles?
