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

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
