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 :)

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?
