Awd 240sx rb25det wanna talk ?

[TheRealNap0le0n]

So I see someone is interested in the same conversion I thought about.


So General Input..
I owned a r33 Gts-4 and recently I just got rid of my r32gt-r

I built a 240sx r33 gts series 1 front onto a s14 zenki which I recently bought back.
I've been around skylines long enough to know exactly what needs to go into the conversion.

1. the frame itself is notched in r33's and r32's to allow the axles to pass through. It's almost risen a full inch to two inches high to allow the axle to pass through.

2. You need the ACTUAL cross member from the r32 or r33 to make the awd drive work, because the cross member is actually notched also to allow the axle to pass through. Mckinney or not, those don't do anything about the notching for the clearance of the axle through the cross member and frame

3. The Strut is no longer a s14 or s13 strut setup. Because the axle will fight with it.

4. Control arms are going to have to be redone and modified, and new mounts are going to be welded onto the car to accept the control arms from the r33 or r32. The r33 setup for the control arms and struts and tension rods is much more "simpler" than the r32 setup.

So to say that you are going to source and piece things together.... It's going to be difficult. I looked into it and given it alot of thought, because I sold my gtr shell and I'm going to drop the rb26 motor into my s14/r33 conversion, I pondered the thought of the awd setup. To my mind, Unless you wanna spend a boat load of money, hours and just frustration... wait the two years.. buy yourself a 89 gtr. By the time that rolls around everyone should be able to afford a r32gtr and they are capable of being brought into the country legally.

If you want the challenge... by all means go for it. I'd definitely hope you'd put up a build post if you do.

what did i miss? what country are you in and when were skylines able to be legalized???

Thanks to motorex R33's are legit too... that's about it atm
