Does anyone know if a drivetrain from a st185 can be adapted to a st202?

st185 will not work

you will st205 parts, as well as the st205 trunk floor pan

since you are in japan, why not just get an st205?

I have only been able to find 1 st205 gt4 but the guy is not selling.

So it wont work then. ...AGHHAH!!! What about a rwd conversion?

not possible, the firewall would have to be removed/ cut apart.

i was contemplating this with the use of an sr20det and RWD tranny/rear end from a nissan silvia.

too expensive, too much work, and LOT OF DOWN TIME

This is a very difficult conversion to do.

Lots of parts are not the same. Easier to purchase the real thing, first.

The fuel tank for example is in a bad spot.

You guys are great. Thanks for the help.

there is one person that i know of who is in the process of doing an AWD conversion to a USDM 6th gen ST.

How long has he been in the process?

I am doing this conversion as well. I have all the parts except my rear floor pan and new gas tank. Im waiting for my importer to ship them

Why not just throw a fuel cell into your trunk and free up some space underneath??
