Parts Interchangeability Within Same Series Skyline

i was wondering if the running gear from a gtr can fit into a gts coupe or even a four door??

im talkin bout puttin the whole 4wd system into a coupe or four door.

any mods needed to the subframe?(front or rear subframe)

enough room for the engine? transmission? etc etc

how much modification is involved if any??

thanks for any help

from whaat ive seen the 4wd box defiently wont in a gtt. the chasis is differant at the front where the front drive shafts fit, e.g there isnt a hump to fit them, therfore youll need to do some cutting and wleding which isnt a good idea.

It's not just a matter of fitting the mechanicals. The ATTESSA has its own computer and wiring system.

The question has been asked several times before, and the concensus of opinion is : sell what you have, and buy the real thing.

thanks for the replies

blind elk: could u plz point me in the direction of the previous posts?? as i cant find them through the search engine

in the latest hpi magazine there is a r32 4 door from WA which has gtr running gear, this is what got my thought goin through my head.

im more interested in the r32 shape and not so much in the r33 nor the r34

Can't point you at exact posts - I just recall the question being raised on several occasions.

Which is "the latest HPI"? I believe #75 is the latest, and it isn't in there.

lol soz

it was hpi 73

it seems im behind

anyways it was a gts4... so that may make the difference ?

the reason for doin the conversion is because im lookin into buyin a gtr wreck or possibly a track only car n takin as much as i can n puttin all the bits into another chassis

4 door would b the most pratical to me so thats y im leanin towards that option

i still want more info before laying down the cash hence the questions

=)

thanks elk

Yes, the GTS4 will readily accept the GT-R gear, since it runs very similar hardware. I've whacked a Stagea RB25DET in my GTS4 (RB26 was too expensive) - it pushed 180kW out all 4, on 95 octane fuel. I reckon that has to be close to a stock GT-R.

ahhh icic

so gts4 (in 2 door n 4 door) is the ONLY option for a gtr tranny swap

well easiest option anyways

is that what i can assume??

thanks again elk
