Out of curiosity, how can you tell the difference?

Aside from it being RWD - is there any way to tell if it's a RWD converted RS4?

Apart from the artical saying it is a WGC34, have a look at the strut towers in the engine bay

Rwd Stagea have totally different strut towers to a 4WD RS4

Rwd front suspension does not have the upper wish bone arm and use a different front strut/shock.

Does that explain the shots of the modded strut towers? I was wondering what that had to do with the rest of it. I mean, the turbo that was capable of swallowing a small child was pretty self explanatory, but I couldn't figure out what the re-welded strut tops were trying to show.

The car is a WGC34 RWD not 4WD

hmm you're right it is a WGC34... lol can't believe I didn't see the big word in the middle of the page. Whoops.

but I couldn't figure out what the re-welded strut tops were trying to show.

Spot Welds for Chassis regidity im assuming

Something you see on most drift car out of Japan

On another note this thing is so damn hot!

Thanks Darrin - is there any benefit to running this at all? Or is it simply just the way that you run different setups? 4WD - you want the upper wishbone arm, RWD, you dont?

I can't answer what the benefits are, but the 2 are not interchangeable. The RWD Stagea comes from the factory with a totally different chasis/strut tower and supsension mounting points in the front to the 4WD version, so the suspension will not be interchangable

If your car is a 4wd version, have a look at your strut towers and compare them to these rwd version towers. You should be able to spot the differences in size.

Thank fck I've got broadband. Nice shots Shan, and no shortage of them either! Good work!

RWD strut towers gives you a bit more room in the engine bay for adding accessories, I've got no idea where I'd be able to mount a remote oil filter mount or catch can...

It looks like that car has had just a few changes to it... RB25 to a RB25 NEO...several Intercoolers etc... I can't read japanese but i assume it would be revealed in the article

    • Only reason to keep a MAF on your RB25 is to be able to easily calculate true VE if you know what the factory voltage curve represents in grams per second of flow. Also allows you to do things like pull the original OEM ignition + AFR target tables and use those as a starting point for your base map. Once you're well and truly done tuning though there's no need to retain the MAF.
    • Do you think they'll merge there performance divisions and we'll end up HoMo?
    • Very true, if buying new, I would not get an PP either. Minimum is an Elite 2500, which is also considered outdated. Get something that supports DBW, delete that cable throttle. Best thing I've ever done to the Skyline, next best is refreshing the A/C with a new condenser. It's cold, but not as cold as modern car, but colder than most 90s JDM shit boxes imported into Australia.
    • Haltech have a nice comparison table between the Elite and Nexus models -  https://www.haltech.com/ecu-buyers-guide/ In general, the Nexus is better. Haltech have some nice product videos on their YouTube page, I'd have a look at those and if you're still not confident what way to go, I'd give them a call. They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I'm sure they'll be able to help you out. 
    • Not to mention, that the correct diagnostic approach to "electrical thing does not work" is to start with what I outlined above. You only do swaptronics for things that can't be tested really easily, like ignition coils, AFMs, etc etc. And even then you hold your breath in case the fault that possibly killed the original unit kills the swapped in unit too.
