Some Skylines are RWD and AWD. AWD for the launch then RWD That is some very impressive driving, and a very cool conversion

HAHA, those boys over at RMR rock. I bet the neighbors love them. A RWD Evo would be fun. But how does the ECU like it? The 9s have ACD (and SAYC dont they)? Wouldnt taking out the front drive screw with the computer? Looks like good fun though!

yup thats true. Skylines have the capability to move power to either front or rear wheels or all of them. Skylines also came in the form of the GTSt 25t Skyline they came in both 4dr and 2dr bodies, RB25DET instead of the RB26DETT from the popular godzilla GTR and are popular for use in the drifting scene.

few things, there are rmr parts (downpipe, exhaust, intake) on the car.
its not rhys' parking lot but the cops generally dont give his **** anyway.
the cars they had brought over for the movie are the most stripped down version available, so no super ayc.

Does anyone know how exactly this was done? I'm pondering the conversion myself, if it's not too costly and reliable for punishing track (read: road course) work in 100F+ heat.

1) Lock the center diff ???
2) Strengthen the rear driveshafts ???
3) ....
4) Profit?
