Let me guess, you are 17 years old?

for starter why the f**k would you say im 17 you dont f**ken know me

im asking for help on a topic that i dont know much on

stop f**ken running you mouth about ppl you dont know 2 cent about, so what if i want to do a AWD conversion to my gtsx it not your car it my car to go f**k your self

and ads thx for the info

Pete hasn't done the conversion at all.

Ive done the entire conversion start to finish for him.

Its a nightmare job, honestly unless you came to me with 10k plus I'd turn the job down.

Custom rear subframe, custom subframe locations in the rear.

Front needs a rail section for the drive shafts, crush tubes and a Gtr trans tunnel grafted or fabricated, front upper sections Plus the obundance of little things that adds up to hundreds of hours.

Because it seems like the sort of question that 17 year olds come on here and other forums asking because they don't know that it's a spastic idea with no benefit. The smart move would be to a) Not f**k up a GTSX, and b) just get a cheap R32 GTR. But no, we all have to come up with an original idea for a conversion because we need to be different.

Sorry champ i didn't know much about how he was going about doing it! All i read was he was making it AWD and i read little updates here and there, i wasn't sure if he was doing it or not!

Much credit for you taking on a large task though i would imagian it would be a headache!

Yep, types like a 17 year old.

What do you reckon the weight will be?

I remember putting my GTS-R on a bridge years ago and it was 1400-1410 without me in it.

Would be one hefty beast with a 4WD running gear in it and the aero of a brick :teehee:

Pete didn't really care about being different. The motivation behind it was more the fact his pete......

It actually started as an rb26/30 conversion. That went to an r33 GTR rear end. Then to a dry sump conversion and for some stupid reason he asked if id convert it to be awd for shits n giggles.

Ash I'd agree it's a heavy pig. Not sure of the weight yet it's not finished. Once his back from overseas the engine will probably get finished

ok cool thx brad about the rear end what can be done to get the adjustment in it i know about the r33 rear sub-frame is their anything that can be done with the sub frame and arm that are in it ??

how much would i be looking at just for the read end for someone to do it?

and would you recommend someone since you dont want to do it

would really like someone that has done it before

I only know of one other person who has done it. I went and looked at that car before doing Pete's and threw up in my own throat it was that poorly done.

Any decent chassis builder and good fabricator should be able to do the job, cost could be anything from 5-6k plus shocks.

Problem is it's an arse hole of a job to align the rear subframe with the chassis. That's where most of the time goes

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • 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.
