[@dustinmeier9753]

Do a VIN search on the car and try to reach out to whomever owned it before the insurance company took possession. In some States, it's public record for a fee, in other States you can pay a fee and the State will reach out in your behalf, while the info is completely locked down in other States. It sounds like it's worth the headache or any attorneys you might need to pay to assist with procedural BS. I'll bet that car was heavily modified.

[@robertseitz2407]

The cone air filters were stock, so I can't see it being modified in any way possible. Even those TE37 looking wheels are stock from factory

[@dustinmeier9753]

@@robertseitz2407 it is standard procedure to keep all of your stock parts in storage, especially if the car is still under warranty. You mod the hell out of it, brake it, reinstall the stock parts and send it out for warranty repair. Or, which probably happened here, the insurance company did not compensate the last owner for the aftermarket parts, so he pulled them to sell or install on his next car, put the stock parts back on the car so it was "complete." This car was modified before it was wrecked. There's no doubt about that.

[@seemlesslies]

@@dustinmeier9753 orrrrrr they do return to stock sales/exchanges. See it all the time guys looking for stock parts to exchange for cash on top after totaling the car. My car has I assume more value in aftermarket parts than the entire car at this point. So I don't really blame the guys.

I would have cut it behind the seat mounts it look like there was enough room to. That or removed the gas tank and install a fuel cell and cut through the rear seat.

[@anomamos9095]

There is one rule in building anything. The easy way is never the easy way you think it’s often harder than the hard way. It looks like they just decided that the way the make the two vehicles mashup was to hack a bit out of the middle. Not knowing what the two look like from underneath and how they compare I can only guess from previous experience that this is not actually the easiest or best thing to do, especially considering that the back end needs to be rebuilt almost entirely anyway. How I would have considered doing it before making any cuts would be to look at moving the rear subframe forwards by about two inches at most , moved the r34 shell back by about two inches and corrected any difference with the wide body kit. By the looks of the newer model and what I’ve seen of the older model the floor pans are so utterly different that they have cut four inches out of the leg room and will probably need race seats on custom mounts to be able to squeeze in.

That jackstand story is scary man, I always use chocks and leave it out of gear incase of something like this, and always leave a wheel under a frame rail to save me.

Hey man , love the idea and looking forward to what the car looks like when you're done with it.. But quick question.. Wouldn't it be easier and more structurally sound to cut the body of the R34, then increase it's length by four inches by adding metal to it, and attaching the modified body to the frame of the R35? Again, I do not know as much as you do by a LONG shot as it's not even my profession .. but just wondering.

[@anthonymasters3885]

From specifications, R35 wheelbase = 2780 mm and R34 wheelbase = 2665 mm, so theoretically shorten by 115 mm. I realise you obtained your figure of 4 3/4 inches (120.65 mm) from physical measurement but it seems a little off?

This is the B is for Build stuff I like to see. I don’t know the layout of the drive train but I thought cutting the 4 and 3/4 inches out of the useless back seat would have made more sense because now cutting it were you did seat rails aren’t going to fit and emergency brakes gotta be relocated. I thought cutting it behind the door but In front of the rear wheels would have been the better option but no ones really done this before so there really isn’t a “proper” way of doing any of it Good shit though I’m excited to see it finished👍

[@jokerchris1]

I was thinking the exact same thing. When they go to put the seats back in, they are going to have less room for the seats to move and it’s not like the back seats are even useful. But cutting were they did was the easiest place to cut. And they will probably weld it back together. Then cut into the back seat area to extend the front seat location.

[@tachy635]

If you cut where you say, you will have to deal with the fuel tank and the diff. I think they play safe here, it's easier to relocate the hand brake and seats mounts, or fit a new seat why not.

[@anthonysteward88]

@@tachy635 I also forgot the transmission is in the rear attached to the differential on these cars so your probably right. Fuel tank is no big deal they could always just put a fuel cell in the trunk they already have to redo the fuel system anyway.

If your battery is in the boot, and your boot is locked and only opens using an electric actuator, then you need a way to unlock the door with the key, then unlock the trunk so you can get to the flat battery to put jumper/charge cables on it. 350z has a similar mechanism and also the battery in the boot/trunk.

A r35 rear subframe will bolt into a R34. Might be better off maintaining the rear r34 chassis and only welding in the front r35 half

[@thetruth3714]

I think it may have something to do with the legalities of it, he said something about the chassis being r35 so therefore the car can be registered as an r35 seeing as the r34 is not legal in the US yet, not sure what it would mean if half of the chassis was from the 34
