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)

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
