Nissan 240sx AWD rb26 R13 Build from Canada

[fliprayzin240sx]

You need the rear subframe to run the bigger R230 rear end and bigger axle/spline/hubs.

Front end is where its gonna be interesting and where you'd need to take lots of pictures since its not gonna be a bolt on affair. From what Geoff said when FullRace did their AWD conversion on their S14, you'd pretty much have to re-engineer the front end/suspension to keep the AWD aspect of it. Then you still have to figure out how to get the Attessa to work without it fritzing out.

thanks for the info ! and i am one step ahead ! the Attessa should work without a hick up as the hole GTR wiring system is going into the 240. every sensor,computer and wire will be OEM so shouldn't have a problem there. only problem is i hear the Haltech sport 2000 doesn't like the AWD too much and not as many functions.

as for the arm/suspension design, i have a local buddy that is a GTR/240sx guru. owned his own shop and he brought a few good ideas to the table. i would tell you but then i would have to kill you... JK but ill be showing the hole proses as the build goes by. thanks

i finally got the shell out and got my space back. Feels nice to have room to work again. Hoping to get progress going soon but been busy with life.

Oh ok, for some reaseon I thought the GTR diff was a R200

god I'm getting old and forgetting things

[Black R]

I'm subscribing.

I want to see the gtr front subframe fitted...

[Scope240sx]

this is dope!
Once this car is running & if you can get it reliable, gonna be a hard car to beat.
ive seen this swap in an s14, that car was faster than evo's. I think its the one thats mentioned on the previous page

That is about as good looking a skyline can be, without her body.

This should be a very interesting project.

Keep up the good work!!

Education is key my friend. I am not Canadian, just live here. Its stupid to blame a country for something that i did. i understand you guys dont get GTRs, here a gtr is another JDM car. its my opinion on what i want to do with it. nobody made you check out my thread. you dont like it, dont waist your time with it. what your saying is every person that buys a front clip is a skyline killer ? and dont say they been crashed sins i have seen a end less amount of mint gtrs/skylines get chopped up for parts. its a skyline not a lambo. if you knew the story you would do the same thing. thanks for checking out my build

What did you do with the shell? I'm still interested in it

[like_em_sidewayzz]

my buddy has it. he will be building it

[like_em_sidewayzz]

wow its been a while sins i updated.
so i took the twins off


And as curious as i am wanted to see the single turbo mock up. not bad


Then a week later these puppy's came in to my life. Mmm Nascar AP Racing 6 piston brakes. I never really thought i would own anything over 4 piston, yet alone AP racing. these should stop a train lol, they are designed to stop a nascar going 200 MPH. and can take alot of abuse/heat




i also ran across this TRUST/GREDDY TD06 Twin Turbo kit and couldn't pass up on it. now i have to decide witch route i want to take




Manifold is truly amazing work of art. (IMO)

[ferrariowner123]

Sweet, looks like a fun project,

Out of curiosity, what do you do for employment? Is this where you learned your skills?

[Drifter_85]

I'll be interested in either turbo setup you dont use!

[like_em_sidewayzz]

lol idk witch one i want yet

I know a guy that has an *AWD S13* with a Silvia Front end (if that matters). He basically aligned (which he told me it took 10-15hrs alone) and welded the Half cut of the R32 onto the 240sx. He also is using an R32 Dash (RHD)/Center console. that's one way to make the AWD work with an S13 that I know of. I don't know the full details of how it lines up but its most likely one hell of a job...

[like_em_sidewayzz]

any pictures of this unit ? i though of this way but ended up not thinking its such a good idea.

[Super_OK_S13]

Ill see if i have some and post up if i find them. Its been at leadlst 5+years since i saw it. But everytime i ask him on progress, hes always busy working on other peoples cars. I highly doubt hes posted it online anywhere. I know i never took any of the bottom of it or what points/braced or welded it together. Just of the bay and some of the interior parts.

Nice this is happening in alberta? Im in alberta as well hope i see this thing rolling around some time!

And insurance is cheap for rhd cars in alberta for plpd no one will offer full coverage on my soon arriving s15

and there are so many GTRS here its crazy

[bpohlman13]

Any update on this?
