RB25DET GT-S AWD?

[Eric0]

Hello guys,

I’m contemplating to convert my RWD 425hp RB25DET in my 240sx to an AWD. I hear all I need is the AWD transmission and AWD oil pan. Well, plus the hubs and axles,  and probably oil pan adapter plate. But is it possible and what are all the parts I would need?  It doesn’t sound hard to do. 
 

I’m contemplating this conversion for safer all year driving, faster track time/ acceleration. Better performance.

Could I just change my tire setup and increase HP to achieve close AWD performance instead?

Um.....what FWD hubs etc are available for an S chassis? It's not a Skyline that you're converting. It has Mac strut front suspension, so you can't just use Skyline stuff.

This has been done but to do it properly is time, money and skill. Need matching diffs, awd gearbox, atessa pump, 4wd controller, custom front hubs or graft in r chassis front, awd front subframe, modify chassis rails to clear driveshafts, modify floor pan- will need to modify tunnel and relocate seat mount. I looked into it and started collecting most of the big parts but stopped as I did not have the skills to fabricate the metal work required. I looked at using n15 pulsar front spindles and modified R32 shafts so could retain standard front end. Cheaper and easier to buy an awd car

If your wanting better launches and traction control, get a decent aftermarket ecu, DBW conversion, front and rear wheel speed sensors, good tyres, quality suspension and alignment then set up traction & launch control.
