For the love of all creation, please don't do that. Take the money you would have spent on converting your sweet sweet car to RWD and just buy a janky 240. swap an engine into it and then drift the pee pee out of it. That way when you bang it up (which you will) it will cost 9 million times less than a 2000 R34 to fix back up or replace.

Yeah. I always saw the r-34's at J.M.S in the big cities. Probably just getting fitted with the newest bolt-on's just because they can. I went there to get air freshener because I could not afford anything else. I miss being able to chose between 100 kinds of smell for my car. Sorry for being off topic.

Ok, I guess you can say that. But skylines are like civics there. They are everywhere. I would always roll down 20KM to the next town, and there were a million skylines, but almost never a 180 on the street. Maybe this is due to the fact that you have to keep your car in good condition for the 2-year inspection. I would really hate to see the 180's pass out of existence into the junkyards as time goes by. I had to junk my car. It was a 95' levin bz-g. Awesome car, I just didn't want to pay the money for the JCI. Oops off topic again.

post pics or ban for being a lieing douche. seriously though, i guees you would need to swap in an rb25 transmission and some other custom things. not too much cost since the parts are cheaper over there.

yo dude you have to enter a corner at a high rate of speed near top rpm and steer into the corner dont counter steer because you will lose the angle cause the front tires will pull the car in that dirrection. The reason you enter the corner fast is cause you want the weight to transfer to hold the momentum. You controll the car with the e-brake by quickly pulling up on the e-brake several times in a row to lock up the rear tires and unlock them. You hold the angle with the throttle you have to hold the gas the hole time but really drifting an AWD car is for the experienced sorry to say. by the way i love skylines
