xonix_digital Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Has anyone ever build an All wheel drive or 4x4 Z??? I wonder if it's possible?? There are 4x4 Datsuns that I'm sure could be hacked into an S30 chassis. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xonix_digital Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 There's this one The info is floating around on here somewhere, just search... Holy freaking crap!!! That thing is awesome!!!! :o I have totally seen the cars where they just toss the body of a Z on a truck, but I was more interested in the type of car in the YouTube video. Are there any build threads on here of something like that??? I'm interested in some of the specifics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModernS30 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I am sure if you looked there is a build. Sorry to say that was a stupid question, youtube is a source, so is google, so is this site. Honestly search for it you most likely will find it. Once I am rich from making custom parts for cars (give me a few years) I am going to build a full R34 skyline drive train powered 240z, a series 1 if I can. Yes, that's right, I am going to "Ruin" a perfectly good Series 1. Why a Series 1 you ask? Because I CAN! I will give you what I know of that 260z, its got a full chevy truck 4x4 system under it, I am pretty sure it's close to 600hp (Note the smoking 4 slicks) and I believe its 2 solid axles. Please, PLEASE, lets not use the word you used in the first post here "Hacked" or hack or anything. Around here we don't "Hack" Cars together. We do it right, or at least to the best of each individuals abilities with money, skills, and tools as 'our' main constraints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19762802+2 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) I am pretty sure it's close to 600hp (Note the smoking 4 slicks) Actually if you had looked at the other video it says 700hp Also everyone's definition of hacked could mean different things, I mean come on when I think of a Z on a 4x4 frame that seems "hacked" to me but like I said it's different for everyone. Some people may think your "hacking" a series 1 to put in a R34 Skyline Drivetrain. Edited March 31, 2010 by 19752802+2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people may think your "hacking" a series 1 to put in a R34 Skyline Drivetrain. I knew that was coming. Haven't done it yet, said when I am rich. I think I really want to chose a series 1 just to make a point. Mostly that a car is a car, plus its not your car. Does that 260 have the frame under it or is it just axles and chassis mods? That's something I don't know and I honestly don't think you do either. Not bashing just saying its hard to say, I think if you put the 4x4 frame under its not hacking if done right, but that brown 280z up there, hacked. The 280zx, not so hacked, its a bronco frame with a 302 IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said it was stupid. Just not a fan of the word choice. I do take disrespect to you telling me, a member for longer than you, posting my opinion in a thread that you are asking a question in. All I said was try not to use the word "hack". Don't have to be an *** about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19762802+2 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Basically all he said to you was if you have nothing good to say don't say it at all. Also having a higher post count or being a member for longer doesn't say anything about your experience you could be a guy who has worked on cars for 40 years and have just joined or you could be a member that has been on here for as long as it has existed and almost know nothing. But anyways I would like for this thread not to be closed because I think it could go somewhere in the point of a 4 wheel drive Z which would be awesome. It is the internet and this is a Car forum just chill out and have some fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the internet and this is a Car forum just chill out and have some fun. I said plenty good. I didn't see anything wrong with asking him not to say hack. I didn't mean to offend him I just don't think the word hack is a very good word. I don't want to be on anybodies bad side. The way he replied to that is looking down on me. I am no better or worse than anybody else. I try not to look down on others (I kinda just did in the last post so I will say sorry about that) I would prefer nobody looks down on me.

xonix_digital Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Modern I actually meant to not disrespect because I know you have seniority here. I was referring specifically to where you call my question stupid in your first post. And I am totally a hack, but I am trying not to be. That's why I come here, to learn from you guys. I have read a few of the other threads that you guys have posted about awd and 4x4 s30s, but I can't find a build thread. I'd like to see how something like that would actually come together.

19762802+2 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Well I tried contacting the guy who races the 4WD 260z,Kevin mackrell, and gave a link to this thread so If I hear back from him I will let you know, or he will just show up in this thread.

Thanks 2+2! I am sure the build is way out of my league, but I have gained a LOT o build knowledge just from rooting through build threads in the past. I am obviously new to the S30 chassis but it never ceases to amaze me how simple and versatile it is (and sexy ). I hope Kevin is able to get us some build pics of this gnarly 4x4 beast.
