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?

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.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
