Since it's the same chassis (correct me if I'm wrong), would it be possible to do a z front end conversion on a g35 coupe? I like the rear of the g35 but I hate the front, I like the front of the z, but I hate the rear :rolleyes:

I don't know for sure, but I'd say 99.44% NO. First off, that vision gives me nightmares. I'm not sure exactly what it'd look like, but I've never seen anybody do anything like that and have it look good.
They don't use the same chassis, but rather the same "platform." I'm not sure what all the differences are, but the G35 is longer than the 350Z. I'm not sure about width...Not to mention, even if hypothetically they were the same length, the cabin on the G35 is larger, meaning the cabin and front end would join at different places, different angles, etc.
Assume this would look good, if anyone had the budget to do this, I'd bet it'd be cheaper to build it from the ground up with a whole new chassis than to try and retro-fit. I just don't think it's possible.
If you do manage to do this, PLEASE enlighten us with pictures. Such a beast would surely be in a magazine somewhere. Heck, I'd be happy just to see a photoshopped picture of what it -could- look like. I don't think it'd look good though because the G35 is curvy, and the 350 has more angles.
