R34 4wd Conversion

[Redliner007]

Hey guys im thinking about doing a 4wd conversion into an R34 but I have a few questions as I do not know too much about R34s.

What exactly will I need for the conversion? Does the R34 run a smarter 4wd system as compared to the r32? Would I be able to switch between 4wd and 2wd like you can in the r32's?

so parts required would be:

half shafts

4wd sump

diffs

4wd gearbox

Hubs (if my current ones don't have splines in them)

4wd Computer????

is there anything else I would need for it or need to consider?

Ultimately I would like the option to run both rwd and 4wd but if its too much hassle ill stick to rwd.

All help and suggestions will be appreciated

You'll need to work out first what you're going to use the car for. If yours is only mildly modified and you really really want AWD, it might work out better just selling the car and buying a R34 25GT-Four to replace it.

From what I've read switching between AWD and RWD is a lot more complex in R33s and R34s than R32s. That said most of the torque in the AWD setup will go to rear wheels in normal driving anyway. Another thing to keep in mind is the ~100kg added weight of the full ATTESA system and the related bits and bobs.

I was recently looking to buy an R32 GTS-t and several GTS4s were in the market so I looked into the reverse conversion (AWD->RWD) in some detail. In the end I decided it isn't worth the trouble...

Hey thanks for that,

Ive also talked to a few people myself and they think its not worth the hassle either. Might just stick to rwd then lol.
