So as the title states what the best option for staying AWD,

i currently own a 97 R33 sII GTS4. I love the AWD and to be honest i dont really want an RWD car.

Eventually when i head down the turbo route i have a few options to keep in mind such as.

sell current car and get a gtst ( but like stated i dont want a RWD car) possible to add AWD to a car??

engine conversion- most likely an Rb25det from a stagea due to the AWD compnets ect.

In my eyes i have a great base car to mod and get ready for forced induction but also want to be realistic about it and worth my while.

What other options do i have?

could also turbo the current block you have, suppose it depends on how much power you want? I'm running a non turbo block in my 32 gts4 which has been turboed (rb25de r32 block) But that was setup like that when i bought it

I would say the stagea swap would be your best bet. Only concern would be your existing gearbox which I assume wouldnt handle high power if its off a RB20DE and good luck getting a manual stagea gearbox!

Get a GTR? dunno what your reason for not wanting one is, but if its cost: you'll probably spend as much messing about trying to turbo or engine swap your current car.

Pretty much what i'd be saying...

Or...

Get an EVO :happy:

^ That. IMO the EVO would be the better overall route. You can get a EVO IX for 40k or less these days.

8's are even cheaper again.

X2...close thread.

Dont like evos, hence why im on a skyline forum, go figure.

GTR is out of my price range. whats avrage price for the GTR 33 front cuts? do they come with gear boxes as mines only a 25de box.

But then brake upgrade, + 5 stud conversion, probly still looking much cheaper then a gtr for now.

dude just buy a gtr, you dont get the bigger guards or any of the gtr bits, just changing the motor over, its way to much effort, just sell your car and buy a GTR with some mods done to it.

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
