Motor must be moved forward for alinement of axles. a ton of work for little or no real gain... Great for showing off your work.. There are a lot more than that. The six or seven that I've personally seen all start with the front clip from the BNR. Uses the frame members, cross member, front support, etc. Aprons and suspension are all custom, with pipe uppers. Old post, but to the OP, It's a ridiculous amount of work for not much gain, as the car already has fantastic traction from the get-go. I'm guessing that with the way the engine sits forward in "Skyline" position, it actually handles worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softopz Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I did several awd swaps in many s30s very easy actually xbox 360 Forza game haha sorry couldn't help it! I am not saying you cant do it and I am not against "big dreamers" / uniqueness but like what everybody said before me. Too hard and too costly unless you watched project Binky just get some angle grinders out drink lots of tea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline240z Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I'm sorry, to do this right, you'll need minimum of $30000 and 1000 hours of work, and that's nothing fancy on the body modification. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I think HPI makes a 4wd version of the s30. it’s remote control too ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodruffhallz Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Sooo, I'm guessing he never got this off the ground.... Sad, as I have an S30 with dreams of doing an AWD swap. I preface this by sayig I am a Mechanical Design Engineer with tons of experience modeling. Does anyone have a good CAD file of an S30 chassis that I can use? I've designed entire race cars down to the bolts in Solidworks before and would be willing to map out/ make drawings for a project like this. Would need everyone's input on what needs to happen, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The restoration program dimensions in this PDF might be helpful, but I'm not sure anyone has a CAD file of the whole thing ready to go. 240ZRestorationprogram (1).pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
