crazy idea to an old car..., just read Options

Ok ive been on this site for years.. and ive learned a ****load about cars ive had my 300zx for a year or 2 now and im ready for soemthing thats gonna blow people away. ok so rwd kicks ass i hardly drive the celica cause of this fact. so why not convert it.....i was thinking of a rear clip of an 89 supra but the drive shaft needs to bolt into something. i dont know what drive shaft can bolt up to the 3sgte (thats the engine im swaping in) or a 4age.. then i thought why not use a hachi rear clip but i bleive the drive shaft would be to short..


so without flaming me can you tell me what if any driveshafts would fit into a 3sgte or 4age thats about the length of the celica.. i mean yea its going to be a **** load of work and even more money but when its doen it would be an amazing machine. a stiff light chassis with powerful rear wheel drive action..

GT4 or custom. Plus you will have to use a different tranny. ( probably from the 2.0 altezza (Lexus IS 200) Your right it's tons of custom fab. To be honest it may be easier to do AWD and just convert over using GT4 parts.


And since you need to make all new motor mounts to make the motor inline instead of transverse, I wouldn't do a 4a. Maybe a high power 3s, but personally if I'm going to go to that trouble I would drop in a 2j or maybe a 1,2,or 3 uzfe. Oh and of course the 5vzfe, I love this motor.
