99 3000gt TT Conversion

I'm wanting to do the TT conversion on my 99, it's the base SOHC model and I'm not sure what motor/trans combo will work w/ it. I plan on going AWD. I'm seeing motors listed as fitting 91-93 and 94-96 will any of these work in my 99? I'm also seeing people selling the front suspension off the vr4's. Will I need to change mine for the swap? If so will the suspension have to match the year of the swap in or will any gen2 work?

Re: 99 3000gt TT Conversion

Honestly if you plan on going AWD, I would get a VR4 and do a 99 conversion, thats how I would do it if I wanted somthing like that, or just get a second gen VR4 theyre nice . It just seems like so much work in just man hours to do that, you might aswell just sell yours and get what you like.

Re: 99 3000gt TT Conversion

i agree. the engine/turbo conversion if fairly straitfoward, but to make it AWD will require a lot of time, and if you dont plan on doing all the work yourself, alot of money.

Like stated above, i would buy a 94-98 VR-4 and do the 99 body conversion. Much much less work. Or, if you have the money, you could try and find a 99 VR-4.

hell, you have to buy a vr-4 anyways to do the AWD conversion. If you buy a donor vr-4, and you plan on spending the time and money anyways, you might as well just restore the vr-4.
