Has any one attempted to convert a rwd r33 gtst to awd using gtr or gts4 parts. Help is need with as much info and advice as posible. Is this as simple as bolting awd bits in or not

yeh but i have over a 100g spent on my r33 body and dont realy wanna repeat the same prosess on another car. Makes sence to me to spend 10g on mine then buy another and spending 100g to get it to the same specs as mine

This is one of those questions that is pointless. This is because it is possible to buy a car that is already the way you want it to be (4WD) and you don't have to bankrupt yourself and drive yourself insane trying to convert a 2WD chassis to 4WD.

i bought this car a a bit of a show pony. now its a fully built 30/26 and hopeing to make some big number and would like the 4wd traction and handling to go with it. not into rwd drifting or skidding

If you have the cash flow mate then go for it, People are just jealous. Yes easier to get a AWD to begin with, But like you said, Youve spent 100k, Whats another 10k if it going to be exactally what you want and need.

I think it would be quite a big project though, BEst off getting the atessa pro unit form a vspec GTR, They are quite a bit quicker in sending info.

Transfercase, G sensors, Will need wheels to be same rolling diamator to keep the AWD happy.

Atessa pump will need to be set up in the boot?

will also need atessa ECU mounted in the boot aswell

try looking into a wrecked R33 GTS4, Uses the same drivetrain as the GTR, Body wise its a gtst, just using a 26de and gtr running gear.

Shafts, ect should all swap over

This pretty much

Just find a straight shell, paint it and use the drivetrain etc plus all your stuff in it. Easier then converting yours and risking it being slightly unbalanced/dodgy or something like that.

So put an auto into it and use decent tyres. Weight wins when it comes to handling.

Either way as stated you'd basically need an entire car to donate. It's not a simple case of bolting on parts. You need looms, ECUs, G-sensors and everything else to go with it. It's not a simple job by any means of the word.

ok thanks for the info. I think i might try and sell mine as a complete rolla less motor and get a gtr or gts4 and start all over again and cut my losses.

Any one interested in a show car rolla.lol

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
