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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
