is it possible to use the rb26dett awd trans and everything to make a s13 awd. using the proper front axles needed and so forth. does anyone know someone whos done this already since it does seem slightly feesible?? curious cuz i found an old skyline in the states that has this and would like to make a new project but dont like to spend money on unneeded parts.

there was a guy who did that with an s14 a while ago. pretty bad ass... had 2 e-brake handles. one controlled the brakes and the other controlled the transfer case and he could change between rwd to awd. obviously took massive amounts of money

jdizzy204 · 03-27-2008, 11:03 AM

theres a lot more involved than just the tranny to getting awd on an s chassis. by the time its done, you would have been able to buy a r32 for the amount of money spent. if u have the patience/skill/money/resources to do it, go for it but any average joe cant do it. also look into full race's r14

*KA-T_240* · 03-27-2008, 02:13 PM

^What he said.

I know full race was going to possibly be doing drop awd swap kits or installs. Not sure if that happened, but, it was around 20k+

lost_generation · 03-27-2008, 02:58 PM

full race has a setup for the s14...13k iirc, but they DONT install... so you have to go though everything yourself

s13 is quite different from s14's, but i'm sure with some innovation and mechanical skills, it could be accomplished

*jrbump* · 03-27-2008, 03:37 PM

We have a guy here in Salem that has done it. AWD yes, no atessa just yet though.

There are pics of it on northwestnissans.com somewhere, I am looking.

If you want awd just buy a skyline. Or better yet buy an evo or a wrx.

Waste of money.

ichibans13 · 03-31-2008, 02:18 AM

Seems more of a "gee whiz" project than anything else. With the amount of money sunk into that, I'd put a nice hefty down payment on a sweet ass house.

You'd be better off doing a regular SR or RB swap. No offense, but if you have to ask that kind of question, chances are, you're not capable of doing it on your own.

elfenguard911 · 03-31-2008, 08:40 AM

yea ive looked more around and i may aswell just get a good condition skyline instead of buying a salvage one.

what is a rough estimated price total for an awd setup? seems to me that if you want an awd application..buy an awd application.

like 12k Full Race offers it for the s14 thats NOT installed.. NOT including the engine either

dumb idea IMO

KiLLeR2001 · 03-31-2008, 05:18 PM

i dont believe in making the s-chassis AWD. but im not gonna hate on it.

SinisterSntra91 · 03-31-2008, 10:18 PM

any welding or modifications to the chassis required?

of course man its a car shit isnt just plug and play when you get into something that extensive

ESone3 · 04-04-2008, 02:14 PM

i'm thinking if you have the fabrication skillz and axcess to an entire R32 front end, it shouldn't be that hard.
