the money it would cost you for this swap. you could proly find a decent r32.

i think i looked up full race and sent a few e-mails and was around 14-15k for the basic stuff for there swap. so i rest my case

Some guy recently did at S13 with AWD using RB components. It was home built, he has vids on Youtube and is a member here too, I don't remember who though.

If you cant machine parts.... then don't even think about it.

Finken your s14 is clean as it is. From what I've seen the swap looks and runs great. Don't mess it up by turning it into something awd. If you want to do this find a donor shell to hack up.

This is one of those deals where, if have to ask a question like 'what else do I need?' then you can't do it. Sorry that's the way it is. Unless you have mad money, hten it's a different story.

Id rather buy an un reliable DSM GS-X (early 90s) and keep dumping into that then go through a awd swap. F that.

Nothing special about awd.

/Thread.

Dont expect this to be a swap like doing an SR/CA into S13.I suggest you lock yourself and your close mechanically inclined friends in a barn take the car apart, and begin reconstructing it, with a detailed Skyline FSM in hand.

Most of the stuff is going to be unique to you and wont be as simple as following a DVD or reading an online FAQ.

After you have finished this swap post up your own FAQ/Walk-through.

So qucik to say f*** it......well i guess if you gave up on it that soon it never would have been finished any way.... I was looking forward to this build but o well. I also agree with everyone eles it is a lot of money, not even remotly close to a normal swap there would be so much involved, but you would have a really cool s14, that is awd and not a skyline i think that would be cool.

well good luck with selling the trany.
