Wow there is more to that thing than I expected! Looks heavy

KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!

Ugh. Upgraded the 1'MC to a 1-1/16" MC. ME and my son get in the car to make a test drive started it and my son says "The brake pedal just went to the floor by itself!". Now I need a booster. Any recommendations? Get a new s13 stock one or put my s14's automatic one on there. I know how the hell could I be building an AWD 240 and not know the simple stuff. I feel the same way. :-(

what kinda rubber is that you've used between the metal to metal surfaces? did you just cut the rubber that was there as needed or what?

pokey_

I assume you are talking about the AC part? With the AC box after I cut the plastic loosening the fitting allowed it to be turned to the new position. In the firewall I am cutting the firewall holes to the same dimensions in the new locations and using the factory rubber to protect it...

Well the weather hasn't worked with me these last few days. Got the r34 xmember and here is the first test fit. Frame rail and x-member will need modification.

Got a spline count on r32 front axles and they are different. Now my thinking is that the hubs can be swapped with the maxima's. Hunting down that answer now....

Work being done! I hate you for this project btw, I mentioned this exact same idea to a friend last year and he talked me out of it

On the axles. . . can you use the Maxima outter where it goes into the knuckle, and just have the rest of the half shaft made? Most places that made axles can made anything from scratch if you absolutely have to have them.

pokey_

Custom can be made. Sad thing is that the custom axles cost almost as much as the car did!!! If I must I must but trying to find the most cost effective way. I hope this is the first of many AWD 240 projects.

Superaison

yes for sure! I'd like to see this build continue!!!

With other engine configurations too?

Well between 100+ degree days, thunderstorms and/or late nights at work I haven't been able to get out and work on the car. I pulled the vh45's factory oil pan (it will need some trimming on the passenger side) and used my floor jack to lift the hacked up GTR diff somewhat into place (in reference to the engine). I am getting more motivated as it looks like I can get the diff in and still have a starter! Once I get the lower control arms I will be able to positively locate the GTR subframe and Diff.

P-Funk alot

interesting.

This is Louisiana so AC is not an option (for me). GTR axles are on their way finally. Here are some progress pics for the quest for a VH45 build with working AC.

pokey_

Once the lower control arms show up I can finish up the crossmember placement and pull the engine to start chopping vh45 oilpan to clear the skyline diff....

pokey_

Did some more trimming on the diff so I wouldn't have to do as much hacking on the VH45 oilpan.

This is one of the most interesting builds I've ever seen on Zilvia. Kudos to you, good sir. I hope I get to see it running around LA some day.

Hurray progress!

Well parts are my big hold up. Bought and paid for axles then they call back and say they don't have them. Bought subframe and LCA's, subframe came in but the LCA's haven't showed up yet. First one thing and then another, guess this is the way it goes with custom projects. Finally got the subframe modified to bolt to one pair of the original s14 bolts, once it is up and square I will drill new holes in the frame for the other 3 bolts per side to go in the same way the factory is setup.



Also got the holes drilled to mount the clutch master cylinder.

He needs Skyline axles and can't find any, anywhere.

call elitejdm in philly, he has tons of complete skyline subframes...maybe he will be willing to part some of it out.

If I'm not mistaken he has te subframe already just needs the axles for the spindles.

I have been having issues locating front axles. Once I have those in I can make a huge leap forward. (Un)fortunately since I bought a R34 subframe instead of an R32 my Maxima Knuckles won't work so I am going the custom route, so I need the axles so I can fab the knuckles.

future

Why not take the easy way and go the r32 since the knuckles will work?
