If you just want a RWD RB26, the GTST option is definitely much cheaper.

I know on my R33 GTST, i've spent a lot of money on GTR seats front and rear, new front bar, bonnet, grill headlights etc and mine isn't even widebody yet. I'd much rather a RWD GTR over a engine swapped GTST!

contradicting sourself?? or a typo?

the second point you make is what makes the rwd GTR most wothwhile.

amongst less maintenance,

free range choice of tyres sizes that dont play up with attesa

quite a few gtrs need a transfere case rebuild, so no need to worry bout that

etc.

One point i thought may need changing is the front hubs/uprights to gtst, not sure if they are a direct swap? As the front driveshafts when done up tight support the disk assembly, or a large makeshift bolt and nut could overcome the problem.

id rather build an awesome GTSt with a 26, that wasn't trying to be a GTR.. for the expense of making a GTR faker you could've just used a combo of aftermarket parts (guages, seats, brakes, etc) to make a way better car anyway...

what are you gonna do with this GTR with half a driveline when you're bored of it? doesn't really sound cheap/easy to reverse the conversion... and if you wanna sell it, who's gonna buy it? etc

like half the cars out there :ph34r: , i'd do it if i ever found a cheap one with a blown transfer or something :nyaanyaa:

my transfer case is farked, and i have two gearboxes and three diff/sump assemblies, so i figure, keep all the good stuff and if i so desire, probably one whole weekend and i can have it all reversed.

other that that, i love the sound of the wide body, 26 gtst, kinda. :laugh:

also i live in a remote area, and parts are definitely not avail. without post etc

besides, i prefer doing something out of the norm,

looking to get a bit more lock out of the steering too, not as a drift car, but one i can take to anything.

stoooopidest thing ever... if u want a RWD gtr, but a R32 Gtst roller, wide body it, and put a rwd sump on rb26, get ya self a gtr rear cradle, and r33 GB.... cost you the same price as a gtr and you wont be distroying somthing that works....

Why not leave the front active and take the back out?

FWD Gtr. Why has no one done THIS before?

=)

With an open centre diff so it single legs and then boost it to 600 hp.

Got me stumped why no one had done it. :rolleyes:

well. im embarking on a vq35hr awd conversion yes awd out of a infinity in the usa. while im doing the conversion im going to be running the stock rwd 6 speed just to get it going/engineering etc etc.

thats untill i can modify my r32 gearbox or a r34gtr gearbox to suit the vq bellhousing. (not same as vq30/35. same as vq40 navara) that with my borg warner s400sx3 will just fry everywhere.

so i would not remove the 4wd. for the street its just to much fun being pinned into the seat rather than dissapering into a cloud of tyre smoke.. :)

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
