If you just want a RWD RB26, the GTST option is definitely much cheaper.

I know on my R33 GTST, i've spent a lot of money on GTR seats front and rear, new front bar, bonnet, grill headlights etc and mine isn't even widebody yet. I'd much rather a RWD GTR over a engine swapped GTST!

contradicting sourself?? or a typo?

the second point you make is what makes the rwd GTR most wothwhile.

amongst less maintenance,

free range choice of tyres sizes that dont play up with attesa

quite a few gtrs need a transfere case rebuild, so no need to worry bout that

etc.

One point i thought may need changing is the front hubs/uprights to gtst, not sure if they are a direct swap? As the front driveshafts when done up tight support the disk assembly, or a large makeshift bolt and nut could overcome the problem.

wheelworx did one for drifting a few years back , they ended up using pretty much all of the gtst front suspension in memory , i vaguely remember a thread on ns.com :

id rather build an awesome GTSt with a 26, that wasn't trying to be a GTR.. for the expense of making a GTR faker you could've just used a combo of aftermarket parts (guages, seats, brakes, etc) to make a way better car anyway...

what are you gonna do with this GTR with half a driveline when you're bored of it? doesn't really sound cheap/easy to reverse the conversion... and if you wanna sell it, who's gonna buy it? etc

my transfer case is farked, and i have two gearboxes and three diff/sump assemblies, so i figure, keep all the good stuff and if i so desire, probably one whole weekend and i can have it all reversed.

other that that, i love the sound of the wide body, 26 gtst, kinda. :laugh:

also i live in a remote area, and parts are definitely not avail. without post etc

besides, i prefer doing something out of the norm,

looking to get a bit more lock out of the steering too, not as a drift car, but one i can take to anything.

Why not leave the front active and take the back out?

FWD Gtr. Why has no one done THIS before?

=)

With an open centre diff so it single legs and then boost it to 600 hp.

Got me stumped why no one had done it. :rolleyes:

well. im embarking on a vq35hr awd conversion yes awd out of a infinity in the usa. while im doing the conversion im going to be running the stock rwd 6 speed just to get it going/engineering etc etc.

thats untill i can modify my r32 gearbox or a r34gtr gearbox to suit the vq bellhousing. (not same as vq30/35. same as vq40 navara) that with my borg warner s400sx3 will just fry everywhere.

so i would not remove the 4wd. for the street its just to much fun being pinned into the seat rather than dissapering into a cloud of tyre smoke.. :)

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
