I thought of that; it's securly velcroed down, and the PC now has steel mech surrounding it, so it's all good.

Well, yes, and no.

The regular version of the G35, compared to the 350Z, this is true.

However, if you pay for the sport suspension (about $2k or so), then it is exactly the same suspension as the 350Z. Since what I was really looking for was a 350Z with 4 seats, which is what the G35 is, more or less, I got the sport suspension, and the 6 speed manual transmission, which also includes the 298 hp engine shared with the 350Z, rather than the slightly lower output 280 hp engine.

what exactly is the weight difference between the two?

About 200-400 lbs, depending on the options.

Also, the only chassis difference, is that the 350Z has front and rear strut tower bars, where the G35 does not.

Bump, because, well, just because.

great work once again.
this is one of the most inspiring installs for me.

Hopefully mine will look this good!
