how to get awd...?

[ATpossible]

this is all you need to have in order for the transfer case of the rb26 transmission to fit.

notice the "hump"? well that is the necessary clearance for the transfer case.



pic is on the right side of car...of course lol

i cant find my pic of what a normal 240sx looks like but it looks very similar w/o hump naturally.

by the way this is in a 95 s14

hope it helps if u have any questions feel free to ask. im no expert but i can give my opinion, thoughts, etc... and hopefully be helpful

yes, that and diffrent trans mounts as well as a gtr front subframe and lots of mods up front.

conventionally. yes true. however creativity must be done sometimes and lots of things can be accomplished with a skillful person, the right tools, and a positive mind set. knowledge helps 2.

at the very LEAST one would be able to keep there awd gtr transmission and use it as rwd

this post is jus food for thought and i'd rather look at ways of how to get something done instead how the it cant be done.

oh by the way a transmission mount isnt hard in my opinion. have u seen full-race's transmission mount? have u seen other people's mounts? or mckinney/top hat etc...its metal and i feel any compent shop can fab something like that with ease

by the way i reccomend clip over motorset in most cases so subframe is no biggy. just get a clip in good shape and u got all the parts

If you are doing an AWD drive conversion, Id say the transfer case clearence is the least of your worries.

Pretty cool!

Front suspension is going to be the hard part...

oh sir i didnt actually mention about "me" doing it. it's main purpose is to show people what it is that will prevent them from keepin the gtr transmission.

i know when i first started researchin, i could never find out in wat way does the transfer case make it so much harder. i've never seen pics and i didnt have a skyline near by to compare.

however now someone could see exactly what is needed to ALLOW of the awd transmission even if they just keep in rwd and block off the front driveshaft...or whatever works best 4 them

i've seen and heard of plenty of poeple wondering if they could cut the transfer case and use their awd transmission etc, or diff ideas like that but here if the visual of what needs to be done to the floor to make it possible without messing with transmission.

i jus feel this is a very simple and easy alternative and if u find the right person it can be the most inexpensive option. rb25 trannys are pricey. i have one so i know.

i hope others see and agree that is a fairly good option. prolly the best in my book.

Pretty cool!

true young sir when i finish my car ill give pics of how i setup my car. i feel it will be interesting for others to at least see and ponder.

so if you keep it RWD, how are you going to plug the case?

[ATpossible]

not sure how i'd do it. anyone else have some suggestions about how they would do it?

i would prolly put some sort of plate to cover it and take out the fuse to make rwd. im sure there are plenty of ways it could be done properly

maybe even keep front driveshaft yoke in transfer case and cover that somehow?

sorry im not 100% sure but i think a plate would be best.

[Joe]

what fuse lol

its a 240sx, not a skyline.

[ATpossible]

true. im ignorant when it comes to wiring/eletrical things. this is y im taking technology right now. lol true story

anyway i figured that the wiring setup would have to be the same or similar hence the reason i said the fuse. unless the wire is never connected then it is the same concept of not being connected in the circuit.

i could be very wrong on that part but never the less it is very clear that i wont be doing my own wiring but i will be there to learn.

[PcCypher]

Isn't the awd system controlled electronically through sensors that apply hydraulic pressure to the transmission and engage the front drive shaft? If so then can you just not hook up that hydraulic line and plug it to prevent it from ever transferring power to the transfer case?

[ATpossible]

im not sure but pluggin the transfer case was the only thing i can think of right now. sorry
