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

cheers, thats what i wanted to know... hrm, mite just look at flaring rear guards and putting in some massive rims and tyres so i can get traction... currently, when i put my foot down, i can still spin wheels in 3rd and its making drag times suffer...

any ideas for increased rear traction? softer rear springs? wider rubber?

how much power do you have?

i've got 350rwhp +, with 235 on the rear, if i launch it hard i 2issue with traction in 1st but once into 2nd she just goes!

ohh i've also got a few suspension bits and a good wheel alignment setup (only little camber on the rear).

if ur having issue maybe look at buying a good rubber. also what conidtion is ur lsd in?

edit: much easier way to fix your traction problem sell up buy a gtr lol ;p

Cheers Michael

ive got kyb shocks with HKS springs which arent too hard... i was told that to increase the rear weight transfer during launch to put the stockies back in at the rear..... mite work but a pain in the butt to do everytime i wanna boot it

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

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.

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

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...

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
