Does Anyone Know Of Any Shops Or Any Person Who Has Completed The Ultimate Swap Of An Awd Rb26dett In Any Year 240sx?

nismo skyline · 03-01-2004, 09:12 PM

it has been done, i got some flyer at d1 of this shop that did it to a s14. i believe they are the only ones that have done it in the US. i'll post the number or name of the shop when it stops raining. dont wanna run to the car in the rain :/

s14slider · 03-01-2004, 09:36 PM

That Sounds Good. Thanks For The Reply - Brandon

Dousan_PG · 03-01-2004, 09:39 PM

um..your very wrong NISMO SKYLINE

mckinney motorsports finshed theres quite a few months ago (did rb25 and rb26dett)
also some folks in FL did it too before that, iirc (rb26dett)

as far as s14s, that dood in FL (i forget his name, had the 2jz in the car previously) has one in/going in and he knows what he's doing

ive seen it done on some s14s in the USA before too (lilgtr i think had it)

DRFT · 03-01-2004, 10:17 PM

didn't lil gtr have only rwd on his rb26dett? or maybe im wrong

Dousan_PG · 03-01-2004, 10:19 PM

oh full awd on the 240sx? fuck that, what a waste and too much fabrication
there is a s14 that did it with a rb25 i though
yeah those cars i metnioned are all rwd
awd is stupid on such a chassis, imo

nismo skyline · 03-01-2004, 10:36 PM

lol look whos really WRONG MUWAHHHAAA

cali240sxdrifter · 03-01-2004, 10:37 PM

cwest in JP did a full AWD RB26DETT in a S14. It was fuckin awesome and with a widebody kit to boot! *drool*

AadosX · 03-01-2004, 10:38 PM

Try practicing your reading comprehension Dousan PG!!!

(remember that one?)

matlock · 03-01-2004, 10:41 PM

Come on give Dousan a break, he made one mistake, and it's not that big of a deal....I was unsure when I first read the post if he was asking if the motor or motor/drivetrain was swapped so maybe you are all right okay.

Dousan_PG · 03-01-2004, 10:43 PM

AadosX. wow coming from a complete moron (you) that means a lot.

AadosX · 03-01-2004, 10:43 PM

Heh I just said it because he gave me such a hard time. It was a joke.

EDIT: See?

Dousan_PG · 03-01-2004, 10:46 PM

i give you a hard time because you post everytime you got a question. its just annoying. seriously. stop! read more before posting. you need your hand held on EVERYTHING about your car.

AadosX · 03-01-2004, 10:48 PM

I've done a lot actually on my own. I post a lot because I frequently mod (have the cash all at once)... I always search this board and others before I post, so what's the big deal? That's what car forums are for.

Dousan_PG · 03-01-2004, 10:51 PM

maybe if you think so
anways...enough of this

original poster
go look at Mark Slide Squad's RB25DEt and the power it makes. why go 26? 25 is badass. it sounds sooo sexy
my favorite after a 1jzgte

bik · 03-02-2004, 01:11 AM

why u want a AWD 240sx O_o... will cost you a lot, will be cheaper to import a skyline =P

brianglawson · 03-02-2004, 04:42 AM

alot of people put rb's in old 240z, thats my plan, but anywa there is an old 70's z in japan with the full awd out of a skyline

HiPSI · 03-02-2004, 10:36 AM

AWD=no fun. after owning a DSM it's fun just for the sheer launching power at the dragstrip, but not much fun otherwise. plus way too much work/money on the 240, i'll spend that money on getting my rwd to grip like an AWD and still save some cash.

darithS · 03-02-2004, 10:59 AM

Yeah my homie had one for sale like last year

NervGS · 03-02-2004, 11:07 AM

Hahahahah.

heheh

s14slider · 03-03-2004, 02:32 AM

Am I correct in assuming that no shop in america has performed an AWD RB26DETT in a 240 yet? I have talked to McKinney, Heavy Throttle, and Enjuku, and they know of no one out there who has completed it successfully. If there is someone who has done this, please let me know.
Thanks- s14slider

jcagni · 03-21-2004, 11:46 AM

There is a shop up in NC called JDM Parts Plus. They started working on doing it 4 months ago and are making plans on fabricating every to do and then to start selling kits. However I have not talked to them since I found this out so you might want to give them a call 919-759-0533. They are nice guys and very ambishious.

jcagni · 03-21-2004, 11:48 AM

If you do call them make a post to share what they have done. Thanks

HiPSI · 03-21-2004, 12:13 PM

i think unstable hybrids was looking at doing this setup, but i dunno if they've gone along with the idea at all.....

KiDyNomiTe · 03-21-2004, 02:36 PM

Ya anyways, AWD 240 is a waste. Although the ATTESSA (sp?) AWD basically is a RWD car with a little bit of help from the fronts when needed.

For the most part someone who would do such a thing would just make it a show car

.

twisted_240 · 03-21-2004, 05:38 PM

gah he was just asking whos done it.
i know of one guy who has a project underway for the longest time.
only odds of it being done before are in japan where it may have come to light.
its a ... just think r32 gtr convertable.
his responce to why he was doing it was, 'because i can'. he has all the parts, hes doing it himself, has a r32 gtr as is, fully modded, and is a great guy.

why question why ppl mod their car, so long as they drive it with the intention to drive it, why do you have to bad mouth anyone who does it. everyone in the enthusiest world (this excludes newb's - noobs, and ricers) knows of how much the swaps costs and whats involved. So dont suggest something that they already know of why they are doing it. im aware many pepole dont, but for those that do, why question it. hmm i think i sound kinda backwards but main point is, stop trying to be original and do what you want.... fuck this is said everyday, useless to repeat it

give it a rest, yal haters of everything. your supposed to enjoy car life not shit all over it. your haters of haters.

GrimDrifter · 03-21-2004, 06:07 PM

adding the attessa system to a 240, to me would be useless because its defeating the purpose of using a light chassis. by that i mean, adding all that weight to it, im sure it will weigh just as much as a skyline. Though i believe the s13'14's look closer to a sports car than does a skyline IMO. If you got $$$ who cares! go ahead, i love seeing those one time rare things on our cars. i think i could be happy with a 25 in a 240, its already alot of motor for a small car, 12's and 11's without much work, and thats serious speed.
