possible??

so this kid that owns a immaculate s13 is going to do an rb26 swap, he says hes keeping the turbos, swaping to rhd, and converting to awd......first off, is awd possible?? he definetly has the funds and capability to do the swap, but awd????

i dont think he knows his shit, he first off wanted to do the sr swap, then he claimed hes getting 200 plus hp with his venom control module, then he said awd rb26...i think with the rb he saw, awd donor car, i have to go awd, he doesnt research.

Re: possible??

its possible most likely, but will cost endless amounts of money and tons of work and EXTREME fabrication.

Rich people of the world listen up! This is what happens when you spoil your little shit of a child!


Seriously, he's full of crap, just wants attention, didn't you realize it already? Check back in when he's completed the project.......or when he scraps it because he's bored with it and goes out and buys his next form of entertainment.

I'm pretty sure it's possible, but lots of money/time.

Re: possible??

It is possible Hybrid even gave an estimate for back when they were. They estimated 10k for just the AWD conversion that is not with the engine or anyhting. Basiclaly it just isn't worth it. And ya when you say he's doing a swap you mean he is paying someone lots of money to mkae himself think he's cool. I'm mid prosses of rb25 swap and by i'm, I mean my car is on jackstands in the garage.

Re: possible??

he actually has a lot of money coming from insurance. he got burned really bad somehow and he gets 15 grand every 2 months. he treats himself like hes a rich snob. he might go through with the swap, he might not, i dont think he knows his shit and just wants to look cool. but dont tell me it wouldnt be kickass to do the awd rb26 in a 240.

For the money it cost for the car, the engine, all parts and the work, I could go and buy an R32 GT-R with about 50,000kms on it, and still have enough money for a Tomei crate engine.

YES its possibly, i knew a guy who had a S13 AWD with an RB in it, its to much work and money, and you will always have endless probs...

Rich kids , freaken mother freakin rich kids... they are always spoiled and think they can have anything and everything ... they have no respect for anything they get because it grows on trees for them. They dont know what its like to actually save up from a hard working job with time and then buy something and value it like "its owned"

SO, if you are rich and spoiled, dont take an S14 and put like $50,000 into it to make it a wanna be a skyline... why not just buy a skyline ?!!

ok...

RB26 is one sweet engine...I would take a RWD burnout over an AWD any day...RWDs are so much better in my opinion. I know the AWD has so many advantages but I like to see one set of wheels light em up and the fronts just sit still. but thats me

yes, this is possible and will cost lots of money. also not many people now but a few s13s came with the option of hicas four wheel steering just like the skylines so that is an option he can use. my cousin has one

Re: possible??



I am getting 200whp with 5psi. Maybe I should have just gotten a Venom module

Ask him a trick question like "What size RB26?" Shit just ask him what car he's gonna get it out of. Or you could just bring a Nissan FSM or some kind of source of information on Nissan cars and slap him across the face with it. Even if he does have the funds, where the hell is he going to get it done?
