R32 Gts4 To Rwd

[zero'sR32]

hey guys,

i have a r32 GTS4 rb20det 5spd. had it for last 4 years and built it from stock to what it is now.

i have been running it rwd for the last 3 years, cause i lost interest in 4wd. when i bought it i thought it would be fun to run 4wd and be able to switch to rwd with a pull of a fuse/switch. anyways. not the real problem at hand.

my clutch is starting to slip, so i thought, instead of just replacing the clutch, rip out the front 4wd gear, diff, driveshafts, etc. and go rwd, allowing me to save weight and sell the front diff and driveshafts.

ive tried selling my car for the last year, no one seems interested, and just get something already rwd. so i though may aswell keep it...

i just wanna know, if anyone else does know, what's involved in rwd'ing the car.

1. is it just a matter of getting a gtst sump and ripping the other stuff out or what?

2. what clutch would i need to be looking for. rb20det gtst or rb20det gts4/gtr style?

cheers in advance,

Billy

You are aware that the GTS4 runs rwd 90% of the time, only engaging awd when necessary?

As far as I am aware, the sumps are not interchangeable between RWD / AWD models. The suspension probably needs to be replaced, because a GTSt doesn't require a hub that takes a driveshaft. You will need to replace the gearbox with a rwd version. You will need to remove all the ATTESSA gear (if you are into saving weight).

The clutch you need is probably universal to the RB20DET engine itself, not to a GTSt / GTS4.

You will likely have problems selling just a front diff - whoever buys it will then need to source a rear diff with the same ratios.

Maybe no-one is interested in buying the car because the AWD doesn't work.
