Has any one attempted to convert a rwd r33 gtst to awd using gtr or gts4 parts. Help is need with as much info and advice as posible. Is this as simple as bolting awd bits in or not

yeh but i have over a 100g spent on my r33 body and dont realy wanna repeat the same prosess on another car. Makes sence to me to spend 10g on mine then buy another and spending 100g to get it to the same specs as mine

This is one of those questions that is pointless. This is because it is possible to buy a car that is already the way you want it to be (4WD) and you don't have to bankrupt yourself and drive yourself insane trying to convert a 2WD chassis to 4WD.

i bought this car a a bit of a show pony. now its a fully built 30/26 and hopeing to make some big number and would like the 4wd traction and handling to go with it. not into rwd drifting or skidding

If you have the cash flow mate then go for it, People are just jealous. Yes easier to get a AWD to begin with, But like you said, Youve spent 100k, Whats another 10k if it going to be exactally what you want and need.

I think it would be quite a big project though, BEst off getting the atessa pro unit form a vspec GTR, They are quite a bit quicker in sending info.

Transfercase, G sensors, Will need wheels to be same rolling diamator to keep the AWD happy.

Atessa pump will need to be set up in the boot?

will also need atessa ECU mounted in the boot aswell

try looking into a wrecked R33 GTS4, Uses the same drivetrain as the GTR, Body wise its a gtst, just using a 26de and gtr running gear.

Shafts, ect should all swap over

This pretty much

Just find a straight shell, paint it and use the drivetrain etc plus all your stuff in it. Easier then converting yours and risking it being slightly unbalanced/dodgy or something like that.

So put an auto into it and use decent tyres. Weight wins when it comes to handling.

Either way as stated you'd basically need an entire car to donate. It's not a simple case of bolting on parts. You need looms, ECUs, G-sensors and everything else to go with it. It's not a simple job by any means of the word.

ok thanks for the info. I think i might try and sell mine as a complete rolla less motor and get a gtr or gts4 and start all over again and cut my losses.

Any one interested in a show car rolla.lol

    • Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum. 
    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.
