teejay Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Sell GTST Put the immense amount of money you would need to convert a 33 GTST into 4wd, and buy GTR. If your buying a 33 GTS4, you would go non turbo... awesomeness!

Denver Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 in short, new front chasis rails, new cross member, and a lot of panel work making it all fit plus the different motor to accomodate the 4wd sump, there are differences between RWD and AWD motors, plus a mountain of other crap to do can be done, but it won't be cheap Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/171990-gtst-into-awd/#findComment-3168871 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostzor Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I think he means this https://www.whiteline.com.au/store/default.asp?part=KCA349 you can install em yourself with a tourque wrench and crowbar but be careful not to lose a finger. Basically adjustable/replaceable for different types of driving, controls back end. more squat less squat etc etc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/171990-gtst-into-awd/#findComment-3178281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missinglink Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 These work very well, i have a set in my car and it is set for traction. One of the best and cheapest mods i have done. Also if your car is lowered and the camber on the back is out, try looking for some adjustable upper control arms. These will correct the camber issues and get you more tyre contact with the road.

Jimmyr33 Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 i shall investigate this further, they sound like a good idea, more squat is deffinatly required. my rear tyres are 0 camber and fronts at -1 (little better handling). cheers These work very well, i have a set in my car and it is set for traction.

Marco-R34GTT Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I heard it would be easier to make a GTS-4 into a GTR spec than it is to make a GTS-T GTR spec... My goal is to one-day make a four door, manual AWD Skyline with an RB30DETT... Big money I know, but that is my dream.... All your engine mounts and a great many other things are different between GTS-T, GTS-4 and GTR, but the fact that GTS-4 already has the ATTESSA AWD system makes the conversion a shit-load easier to accomplish...

Denver Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 theres no difference between the chasis of a gts-r either 2 or 4 door than that of a gt-r, so yes the conversion is very straight forward Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/171990-gtst-into-awd/#findComment-3181446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
