I have an S13 240sx usdm and i think im going to go SR20det but im thinkin of making an RB26dett s14 or s15 240sx after this. i know its kinda expensive but it can be done using the RB25det tranny but i love AWD. do any of you know the major things i would have to custom fab in order to make the 240 awd? its obvious ill need spindels for the front wheels so could i mount some gtr spindels or will they not fit? any info would be awsome. thanks fellas.

RB25 tranny awd??

suggest more research..

GTR uses double wishbone style front end whilst S14/15 uses macpherson struts for starters.

You would need the RB26GTR tranny, a lot of time , patience and money to achieve what? I would suggest it is not impossible, just not economically viable. It would probably be cheaper to pay Motorex for a GTR..

BTw, is it school holidays atm in America??

Cheers

i know rb25 tranny is rwd and thats why people do rb26 swap with rb25 tranny. that was my major point. im achieving somthing that you would only get from a DSM in america. yeah you could do it with a subaru but in the end you still have a subaru. this car will not be aimed at anything with "economy" in the title so i wont care about money and time. ive seem one or two for sale that claimed to be awd but couldnt ever get info from them about it.

and unfortunately, holidays just ended .... sniff sniff

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
