Haha. Gtr -> rwd, easy

Gtt-> gtr, so not worth the hassle.

And why do you personally not like awd? Or did you drive a evo and think "nah awd is not for me".

Gtr is a different type of awd. Just saying.

mate, dont get too worked up about the whole thing

without being too harsh on the OP, lets be 100% honest with our selves here, we ALL know that this guy IS NOT going too spend the money on converting his gt-t into a gtr look-a-like. Nor is he going to buy a r34 gtr, just to turn it rwd.

this is an internet based forum where ALOT of people say things they really dont mean.

Now i could be completely wrong, and OP has thousands and thousands of dollars spare to spend on modifying a 12 year old gt-t in such an extreme way, for no real apparent gain, then good luck.

GTR to rwd is easy enough, drop front driveshafts, hack front diff off sump, remove attessa computers etc and chuck in an RB25 box. But I don't see the point.

Have you driven an R and then come to the decision that you don't like the AWD or have you just gone, "Yep the GTT is rwd I like it" and not done any research into how the R actually handles.

I haven't driven a 34R but I have driven a 33R and whilst the 4wd and rwd feel completely different it is a great handling package. Feels a bit heavier in the front but it feels a lot more balanced and smooth. If you want your GT-T to run an rb26 then do that and save the coin on everything else. otherwise drive an R if you haven't already and see if you really do dislike the AWD as much as you think you do.

Another thing to consider, as well as the guards being pumped out and the suspension being mostly the same you will have to swap rear hubs from loop type suspension to fork type and LCA's etc are different to provide you with the added 20mm rear track. Front track however is the same.

soooooooooo yes, no, i need a black or white answer

I like this guy.

With such a great title, I was expecting a thread subtitle along the lines of "just ran over a homeless guy - should I call the cops?" or "I just caught my sister in bed with my mom"...very disappointed...

Ok great stuff here, and also, the money situation isnt a concern, also if i was to stick to the GT-t and i got all original GTR body kit, side skirts bonnet rear left and right quarter pannels front and rear bumper the lot, would it be a hassle to fit onto the gt-t, thank you for your patience people, i greatly appreciate it

I smell a troll..

I answered the question a few posts back with reference to a R32. same idea.

also if money is not a concern -buy a R35. that will pull the chicks and get you thrown in jail at the same time.

if you were doing a resto like I am then I could POSSIBLY see your point. at the moment I see a kid and dreams.

put up or shut up :)

Yes, the AWD system can be disabled. I wouldn't waste the time, effort and money doing such a costly conversion.

>Buy R34 GTR

>Disable the AWD system

>??????

>Profit!

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
