Have to agee,the best thing for me is that an s12 is something different,next comes that it's driven by the correct wheels.
Fair play to him,but he should have just have bought a skyline tbh.

Just for correction, the guy attempting this is located in the Ukraine. Vitaliy, admin of S12.org.ug is good friends with him. I have been in constant communication with them about the swap.

Also, the 4wd system will not be using the HICAS system. It will be using more of a system that 4wd trucks use when you transfer power from rear then to 4wd.

I dont see many people in the US attempting this. First issue is cost. Second issue is that everyone prefers to keep the RWD.

But yeah, it is great, but in some ways, if you wanted a true 4WD RB, and properly using the HICAS, it is best to obtain a Skyline.


Over on S12Silvia.com, there is a member doing an RB20 swap and RHD conversion: http://www.s12silvia.com/community/i...showtopic=5435
