Way too hard, the ATESSA system is rather complex with wiring and pumps and sensors etc.

Cheaper and easier to buy a GTS4.

Yeah I thought as much, I prefer RWD but it would be nice to have the option to switch for 1/4 mile runs and the like ay.

Its another one of those Buy a GTR scenarios.

The amount you'd be looking at to convert a gtst to 4wd would be near to the point where you could sell your current vehicle, then buy a GTR with the remaining cash u would spend on the conversion.

GTS4's arnt all that expensive these days anyway.

As above - the ATTESSA system is extremely complex. Just the ECU side alone is a headf*k. Plus not many people know too much about it to be able to offer advise when you're half way through it so you'd be stuck if you started it and couldn't finish. GTS4 or GTR :thumbsup:

Yeah I think ultimately I'll hold onto my R32 GTST and eventually buy an R32 GTR. GTST will become the track/daily drive, GTR will be the weekender.

you would need:

AWD gearbox (~$1000)

Front sump and diff from an rb26 ($400)

A custom adaptor plate to bolt the 26 sump onto the 25/20 block. (approx $800-1000)

G sensors (~$1000 new, hard to find at wreckers)

Front drive shafts ($?)

Attessa ECU ($?)

Attessa Pump ($?)

Wiring loom for Attessa ($?)

and probably about 20-30 hours labour @ ~$100 p.h...

Sounds like a good plan to me :)

I'm planning to pick up a 32 gtst at some stage in the future for a track build. Would love to track the GTR but im not made of that soft of money :)

dont gts4's come with all awd??

it would be a much cheaper option then trying to convert.

yes. thats what the name would suggest.

i couldnt agree more that its a waste of time and money. very much a "buy a gtr/gts4" scenario as it would be miles cheaper and prevent you from trying to top yourself from the stress of working it out.

that said, i have seen it done before here in christchurch. it was for sale a while back. i didnt bother asking how much time and money it took.. didnt want to know.

if you mainly use rwd and would only use 4wd once in a blue moon then would it be worth the permanent weight penalty of 100-150kg?

    • Thanks Pac!   I will reach out to them!
    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
    • Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
