Have anyone thought about converting their S13 or S14 to 4WD?

you could do it with the Skyline drivetrain, but I think it would also take the RB swap...

What the ghetto...

Are u rich? Why not just buy a skyline, go to japan, get one for like 20k or less (from what i hear from ppl with skylines) and just drive that, their much better than 240s, i love the 240, but the skyline is my dream car, 240 is like my second, but yea...

I heard West mention taking the components from a 4 wheel drive Nissan pick up and some how fabbing them onto a S chassis.  Just find a run down pick up and a Schassis (the pick up allready has a KA24)  Seems like a interesting idea for the backyard mechanic with to much time on there hands.

I thought Truck 4wd's (especially ones from earlier years) aren't really made to run at high speeds, and handle cornering loads, and stuff?  Seems like that would need a different kind of gearing.

He did'nt say it had to be a fancy 4wd set-up.  It would be the cheapest way to get a 4wd 240sx.
