I know this sounds crazy, but I was wondering what would need to be done to make a 240Z AWD with Skyline suspension and driveline? I have a friend that is going to buy a 240Z with an RB26 in it already, but now he wants to dump a lot of money into the motor and converting it to AWD. He has the money so what do you guys think? Just need fellow Z guys thought on this process and parts. Thanks.

 

If this is even possible, he's gonna need the AWD tranny and driveline. He can then cut the driveshaft to fit the drive line under the s30. then somehow mate it to the rest of the suspension.

 

good luck with that and have him post pics on here!!!!!

 

tell him he is wasting his time. lol. it would be cool i guess, but seriously, not worth it in my eyes. isnt it nice enough to get and RB26 motor in a 240z? yeesh

 

This has been asked before... use the SEARCH.

 

the only thing more annoying than someone who asks the same questions over and over again, is someone who tells people to search over and over again.

 

yeah, yeesh! Sell the Z and buy a skyline.

 

Ok... I take it back... please do not engage in any searching for info of any kind. I keep forgetting that searching is a bad thing.

 

ROFL! Good comeback!

 

I have read all the other posts on this matter. I just wanted to see if anyone has read or heard anything different or new. Thanks for your help guys.

 

if that swap can be done in a 240sx im sure it can be done in a 240z

 

uh oh... I gotta break it out again... here it is.... drum roll.....

Anything is possible... it's your $$$ that is the limit

 

Holy crap...I was just thinking that same thing!!

 

so if i have lots of money i can sprout wings and fly my self like a birdie

It's actualy been done before but in japan. I'm sure the guys did that had an entire gtr parts car for all of its parts

 

if you go to hybrids, they have an entire section dedicated to this exact thing, it may be nismos link, i didnt check, but heres the quick to it, cause i read the whole thing. the transfer case is bloddy wide, and takes a large bump out of your tranny tunnel, thus really narrowing the passanger compartment. i dont know what side its on, but one occupant wont be able to sit in the car. but with enough time and money, there are the very few who have completed the conversion at hybrids, just read all there info b4 asking anything, or you could end up being very disliked. good luck.
