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 :D

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...

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
