How easy is it to make a ST185 rear wheel drive? Someone told me you just remove the front CV's or something and then you need to make something to stop oil from comeing out. Can anyone be more specific, and will doing it have and long term bad effects on the transmission?

why would you bother? if you want an early 90's rwd toyota go get a mk3 supra

did that car come with a 3sgte??

This is the best idea ever..

by **TRIKI** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:44 pm

i was thinking someting round the lines of a driftable GT4, something original, i allready have the car and have allready done the whole skyline thing

If you want to drift a car buy a rwd, if you want to rally a car buy a 4wd and if you want to go supermarket shopping get fwd.. Aint that about how it works?

Seriously, why bother..

last dyno run i took my R32 to a oldschool VR4 turned up and had everyone scratching there heads as it did 255kw at the wheels on only the rear treads

how many people own WRX's and EVO's that dont even see a gravel road? There doing it in japan theres at least one WRX in the D1GP and it does pretty good to. Do you rally your gt4 in competitions?

by **Adydas** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:50 pm

No cos im not going to put it at risk of damage, but im even less likely to drift it.

Why not get a wrx then..

by **TRIKI** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:52 pm

this forums almost as full of wanker as the SDU one, someones allways there to prove someone else wrong, or put them down

by **Adydas** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:54 pm

im not proving you wrong, Do it.. im mearly expressing that i personally think its a mental idea..

To answer your own question ill use what you said.. as you answered it your self " Take the drive shafts out.. and block the holes so the oil dont come out "...

by **TRIKI** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:55 pm

wow how come no one could give me a strait answer in the first place, geeez

Running them RWD generally cause the rear diff to go bang, its not really up to the job of taking all the power. Its only a T series after all. Based on other 4WD/RWD conversion and vague memories of reading abou this swap, you need to lock up the centre diff.

No they've got an opinion that differs to yours. :roll:

In many respects I'd agree that they are correct though, I can't see why you'd want to do that to a GT4

You'll still get most of the transmission losses associated with a 4WD and lose all the advantages. If you want RWD 3S-GTE, buy an MR2, or turbo an Altezza.

You wont gain power. You wont gain torque...

BUT

Youll get plenty of wank factor :lol:

Its a stupid way to damage a perfectly good car. And if you want to drift, sell your GT4 and buy a supra

Go ahead and do it man.

Why is there a wrx in d1gp? cos its a car that has lots of parts available and someone was thoughtful enough to convert it to rwd and skid it with the best.

Sorry, I have no idea about how you do it, but i do know it invloves locking one diff and machining new axle studs to keep the oil in.

I cant beleive the cheek if some guys on here, its something different, and actually a very cheap and easy way of acheiving a common goal.

Good on you for getting over skylines.

My advice (as ive said MANY times before) is dont listen to the 90% of the tards on here who dont know anything, and just ring around.

Theres a guy on tard me who converts wrx boxes to rwd, ask him for his number and ring.

Luck man, awesome project

For the loosers dissing it, get something else to complain about

So are we no permitted to have a contrary opinion anymore, or is it just because you've go a hardon for this bizarre idea?

If you need to ask how to turn your GT4 into a driftah, then I don't think you're capable of the job.

How about a MA61 project?

by **bluemaumau** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:29 pm

cool idea, but i doubt a gt4 would be a good base. too heavy. surely you just weld plates over the front halfshafts inners

where was his opinion? All he asked for was how to do it, not if he should do it, that its cool to do it, or that he cares what you think?

Dont get me wrong, i wouldnt do this project, and i do respect your opinion especially, under other circumstances. Yes I get a hardon about skidding, I love it, and who are you to judge my contrary opinion, especially when it wasnt asked for? think about it
