has anyone grafted a ls2 onto a gtr sump and made adaptor for gear box?

did find ls1 conv in rear wheel skyline but not awd

You are pretty much asking the impossile there.

I have seen a Twin turbo 1uz-fe powered TA28 celica that had GTR running gear, including the AWD, He had to cut the diff off the sump and weld it to the cross member, than had to dry sump the lexus V8 as it wouldnt fit with the GTR diff in the way.

It could be done, but would be way easier to build a 1000hp RB 26/34, and probably cheaper too.

I think the best way is regular 4wd underpinnings, hilux seems the choice (there is a v8/hilux 4wd 260z running around hillclimbs).

main problem with the gtr setup is that the driveshaft and front diff are in the sump....which means that setup has to fit on the bottom of the chosen motor, and the motor's location is fixed between the front wheels (can't really move forward or back).

its an interesting idea, but the gtr setup just does not lend itself to the change

heres a mazda eunos with holden ls1 5.7 adventura awd running gear

very quick even tho its an auto

have got a gtr sump/diff and a ls2 6.0 with adaptor plate might just get it to work

can only try

the ls motor would have to be similar weight to a rb motor and with it being 2 cylinders

shorter hopefully the weight transfer wouldnt be to far from original specs

get yourself the awd auto box and transfer, a T56 manual, remove the transfer and see if someone manufacturers an extension housing for the manual. possibly give dellow automotive or castlemaine rod shop a buzz

all ready have a gtr box and sump just trying to nut out adaptor for chev to gtr box

might have to use alternate front diff like duncan said a bit restricted to where

the motor can go then i dont have to alter chev sump just extend front tail shaft

First thing I would do is measure where the sump bolts to on a ls2 in relation the the height of the crank and compare it to a GTR. I have made a custom sump and adapter that moves the GTR diff forward 140mm, so I can mount the 26/30 further rearward. I already have a SR20 to RB25/26 box conversion jig and was even playing witht he idea of making a 4wd north south sr20 "gtr" (but put it in a clubman style thing)

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
