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

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
