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...

    • Took it to all Japan day. Thrashed it all day and it will still drive home. Very very happy man right now 
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.  
    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
