hey guys its a funny idea i know but i want a car suitable for drift and curcuit work in one so im lookin at a 32 gtr and for drift i will be using a rb25 gearbox and gtr sump with the front diff chopped off to save weight and stop the front end being soo heavy. now i want to get rid of the front driveshafts (axles) going to the brake hubs. how do i go about this? do i need to replace the suspension arms etc with 2wd ones or can the shafts be removed on the gtr ones and its fine to bolt rims on and go drifting?

please dont tell me to buy a 2wd as i want the option of both, and i know sump off is an engine out job but thats simple ive done it plenty of times in the past :)

any info welcome

thanks

I have just made my GTR full time rwd to test a motor I am building, as I didnt want to change the tailshaft and leave the gtr box I did it all so I can change it all back.

You need the front driveshaft to hold the hub bearings in, so I simply put my front shafts in the lathe and parted them off at the abs sensor and bolted them back into the hub.

I then cut the diff off a gtr sump to make it rear wheel drive only and it still works as per factory.

I also cut the transfere case off a GTR and took all the 4wd stuff out then re welded up the whole.

Hey Daniel thats exactly the info i needed mate, thanks for your input :/

2630GTS i want the car for circuit work as well so i would rather 4wd option for that purpose as the rb26 i have currently in my current ride has 605rwhp and thats what im going to install in the gtr. gtr's also have ally bonnet etc and better brakes which makes it ideal, and i need a 26 spare engine to put into my current ride to replace this one so all in all its easier and cheaper with a better outcome :thumbsup:

cheers again guys

    • To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...
    • Good old Orange Park hey... 😛   f**k I miss that race track
    • lo, it was a death trap. Good times. Got any Fatz Drift Day DVDs still available?
    • Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
    • Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
