I have done the FWD conversion, and the car handles as good as all wheel drive and with the speed of two wheel drive.

The proper way to do this mod is to shave the teeth off the rear diff, that way the diff keeps the gear on the driveshaft, but does not turn the rear wheels. If anyone needs pics, I will post them on request.

either way there is almost no traction with FWD mod......so who cares

I agree. FWD is teh suxors.:D

i tried fwd, if you have a powerful motor the car wont grip. when i cornered, if i put on a little gas the front would slip and would make MAJOR understeer. if the car could turn sharper then it would make up for it. i tired it with and xmod and a minix. the minix was a little better cause of the better turning radius but still not race worthy. i will say it is sweet to watch it spin the wheels for days... but i can do that with rwd too ;p

i will stick to awd and 4wd

if you can adjust the rear diff you can run slip in the back and it wont understeer. i do that with the minix but i havent figured out how to do that in the xmod, any ideas?

seeing as how you have a SKYLINE, why would you even think of FWD'ing it????
