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

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
