If you wanted a new drivetrain, may as well build a whole new car from scratch.

It's not mine, by the way... Albeit, I can neither confirm nor deny that I have tried something like this before...

re: CARS & RIDES & Mighty Car Mods

just out of curiosity hm would a drivetrain switch cost? e.g. fwd to rwd?

There's the cost of the parts (presumably in an FWD to RWD case there aren't a lot of off the shelf kits) and then there's the cost of your time, and pain, etc...

I did consider getting a RWD Evo at one stage (inspired by Tokyo Drift) but decided no point. That being said for some of the more popular options there are off the shelf kits to help reduce some of the cost/risk/frustration but still not an easy task. Easier to just buy another car.

re: CARS & RIDES & Mighty Car Mods

Depends on the current system. FWD to RWD is quite a large job and I would say in excess of $4000 at the least just for material and manufacturing

By the time you consider fabrication, engineering and labour - I can't see it being under 20k. It might just not be possible to engineer it (I.e. be road legal) either.

AWD to RWD is different - on the R32 GTR for example, you can just pull a fuse.

re: CARS & RIDES & Mighty Car Mods

can someone explain why there are so many cheap r33 GTS-T's on Carsales?

re: CARS & RIDES & Mighty Car Mods

R33s are the most undesirable 90s skylines - due to being heavier than an r32 and less modern than an r34, plus a lot of people don't like the way they look as much. Been good value compared to 32s and 34s for a while.

but why are they so cheap? Is there a common problem or something?

Despite TG saying it was the one to get, the 32 is a cult classic, the 34 is the beast, and the 33 is too much of a Goldilocks to some.

That was season 1 of the reboot though =P The guy who said that was cut! (33 was his pick because of value too BTW)

Which is why i will pick an r32 > 34

Last thing i'd want is a clapped out 25 year old skyline as a daily. Rb20 is pretty terrible as well, stick to an s-chassis for that budget.

Pretty much this, I'd love an R32/34 but would pass over a 33 any day.

re: CARS & RIDES & Mighty Car Mods

there is hope, This was taken after they left Jeremy’s flat in London. They apparently had a 3 hour meeting, together with Andy Wilman. And they seem to be in quite a good mood. I hope this isn’t giving us false hope…

Someone got over excited with their BEE-R limiter and set fire to the rear lip
