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.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
