Rwd-4wd

[DaGr81]

is it feasible to convert the rwd to a 4wd? how much u guys reckon? what parts would be needed? 5grand easy?

any help on my stupid questions would be much appreciated ta

4wd car body is different. this is the main limiting factor.

sell it and buy a GTR

probably cheaper and easier

better resell value

and better performance

dont like autos

if you are looking for making it turbo in future it is not bad idea to buy an auto gts4 for cheap and swap engine and tranny at one time. Use rb26 box as they are a bit stronger and gear ratios better suit the turbo engine.

how much would that end up costing? cos ive got 10grand + r33 s2... dont wanna spend the whole 10 tho... wouldnt the transmission change cost tonnes? or does it come with the rb26 for 5500 lol

i don`t think i can help you with prices cause we have another prices here. but theese are the figures i remember:

i got my car for $13K 2.5 years ago. It was ENR33 auto. Now it`s turbo and manual with 5studs and turbo brakes. The box was about $800 for a box + installation, engine was about $3-3.5K (engine+install+all small bits), brakes was about $600. All parts was from wrecked domestic cars, not directly from Japan.

Now i`m building a new engine from my old 25de using parts from Japan (Yahoo) and already invested more than 4K and it is far away from the finish. And i want a gtr gearbox, this will be about $1000 from Japan delivered and it may need a rebuild.

Get a good suspension setup and decent tyres, spend the rest on mods and driver training... RWD isn't that bad... most racing cars still are RWD.

Conversion is annoying and tricky, that's why most just use the R33 gts-t box (same as the r32 gtr... only missing transfer case) and bolt it upto the RB26DETT in the gts-ts. Quick simple and power.

Or you could just build the RB25 and have a beast... Options Options
