I know Millennium would be a huge help if you are serious about doing the swap. Prada (his dragva board name) went through the process do get the 240 converty to RHD, AWD, RB25or26(can't rember that part). So i know he would be able to point you in the right direction to get parts at a good price and he might still have parts available to sale. Once again his name is PRADA. good luck

p.s. i agree that you should just go buy a skyline. prada gave me a ball park figure and you are better off just buying the skyline for real.

Watch the MISinformation.


As for the RB26 AWD bit, you have no idea the undertaking that entails. You're talking a complete front supsension TYPE swap up front. (Read: cutting out and welding in Skyline strut towers being the easiest way) Then you have to worry about lining the engine and tranny up right so the front wheels can get power. ATTESSA sends power to the real wheels, then front if it needs to--up to 50/50 torque split. You must also design and configure a system to work the brakes along with this AWD system used to a very advanced ABS system which your S13 will lack. And these are the beginning problems. Oh, and trendy tuners have been dreaming of this engine long before this and still do, how do you think you're dreaming of it? I don't wanna seem *too* rude but as I said before, you need alot more research and knowledge.

Want the RB26 so bad? Get McKinney to do it right and have it be RWD. Or call up Motorex and drop 30 grand on a legal R32 GT-R.

And either way, it will cost a pretty penny


If the original poster actually has the money for whatever option, then by all means, go whatever route you chose.

I'm prolly gonna get hell for this.. but.. 240z + granny's SBC mount kit + built 350 SBC + fuel injection + turbo setup = all the power you could ever want(on the street, and in a 2400 lb car)

and it would probably cost about the same as your rb26 awd 240 idea lol
