I was wondering if it was possible to put a LS1 into a R32 Skyline GT-R , that would be sweet because its 4WD. [/SIZE][/SIZE]

Could you increase the size of your font so my neighbor across the street can read your post on my screen?

Would be nearly impossible getting the tranaxle setup to work with the LS1 motor. The R32 comes with a pretty potent motor the amount of money you would use doing the conversion would be better spend on rebuilding the motor and putting a bigger single turbo on the engine.

lol,that was huge.

Thanks for the advice on the font.

yeah, an R32 is a light 4wd car with suspension that still sons most cars today plus the rb26 has all the power and potential you will need.

1000hp on stock blocks have been done, if anything you could drop a newer r34 motor for lower miles and more power.

That is probably the dumbest idea I have ever heard.

cool , thanks for the pics.
got any more?

wow that R32 really has a Holden flair to it. Pretty cool. Also, not all R32s were AWD. I would imagine a RWD skyline can be had relatively cheap and honestly, who wouldn't want a RHD LS1?

Nah, the white skyline doesn't look to be a GTR. There were GTS-T and type M models which were RWD with an rb20det(r32) and rb25det(r33).

Only the GT-R had AWD and the RB26dett.

GDJ

By the way, the R32 skyline weighs about 3200lbs. Not exactly light, and absolutely no advantage over the C5 which can be had for $25000 easily. You would easilly have that into an R32 swap.

wow a lot of misinfo and assumptinos in this thread

not all skylines are RWD as pointed out above me, and only teh r34 chassis got the rb26dett (2.6L twin turbo inline six). its a very very simple process to disable the awd, as it is NOT a transverse mounted engine. the base skylines are all RWD, so its basically a matter of just putting a ls1 in tehre and getting a custom driveshaft made to the rear diff, and pulling hte front axles out or just swapping the front spindles for rwd models, or jsut buying a RWD base model skyline. they can be had extremely cheap. and yes a rwd ls1 powered skyline woudl be very cool. HOWEVER a skyline is NOT a "lightweight" car, its actually kinda hefty. but not too bad, think 350Z.

No, sorry I don't have anymore but I will look over the internet for more.

LS1 powerd R33

R34


All GT-Rs from the first R32 GT-R in 1989 to the last R34 GT-R had the same RB26DETT motor. Only very minor changes were made from the RB26DETT in the R32 Skyline GT-R to the RB26DETT in the R34 Skyline GT-R. Very easy to disable the all wheel drive: yes. Easy to remove the all wheel drive system: no. You can't just pull the front differential, it's built into the RB26's oil pan.


I'm thinking 300ZX (Z32)

holly crap! the dif is part of the oil pan. so you basically have to rip the whole front end appart inorder to change the oil pan gaskket or to access the bottom end.
how durable are those front ends?
oh and thanks for the pics.
