I was thinking, a crazy project would be an FD with a 20B engine on a G35 Coupe AWD Powertrain (I figure the G35 because its one of the only longitudinal oriented engine because of it being RWD/AWD instead of FWD/AWD, so it would be easier?)

I dont suppose the lack of torque would make it wrong for an AWD platform? or would AWD help it?

 

To my knowledge the only G35 to come with AWD was the sedan(G35x), the coupe did not get the awd tranny. The new G37 coupe on the other hand IS offered in an AWD.

 

subaru's use a rwd base awd system. sti 6 speeds are very strong

A rotary in a subie? thats all sorts of wrong in that sentence lol

very wierd.


Yes the ONLY AWD G35 is the G35x in Sedan form only.

but the G37x has better looks and is a coupe

 

no i was saying use a subie trans not put the motor in a subie lol

Seth

 

i have photo's of a 20b in a gc8 using a subie tranny somewhere

 

Being a subie owner ^^ That I must see!!! post it!

 

And only offered with an auto currently

WHY CANT THEY PUT A 6SPD IN THE G37X COUPE?!?!?!??!

ahhhhhhhhhhh

 

put a 4 rotor in a GTR,
. . . oh wait, another critical Nissan Error,..
ONLY AUTOMATIC GTR'S...

lol.. burn on Nissan.

 

my memmory was wrong, its an 20b fc with a subie tranny

 

Theres nothing stopping a rotor being mounted E-W.

A guy over here in NZ had a FWD rotary 80 something (maybe 1989) 323 sedan. Lawton Rotorsport was the place.

Edit: I didnt say it was a "good" idea.....just that it can be done.

 

says its an automatic... crappy

 

man it would be cool to have an awd fd.

 

wasn't there a rally 4wd fc?

 

yes

 

i'm suprised that this hasnt come up yet, but check out this post from the 2nd gen forum. https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...&highlight=awd

also you can search on youtube for millen awd and you should find some videos of it. i'm pretty sure he had a 13b and a 20b version.

 

turn on the speakers.

Turn up the speakers Very nice

 

I have been racking my brain trying to find this. Wasn't there a 3 rotor AWD FD back in the mid 90's?

I remember seeing a pic of a FD that was blue and white racing down a mountain road. I don't remember if it was at Pike Peak or where but I do remember the description of the car. I am pretty sure it was an AWD 3 rotor.

 

Maybe that was the RE-Amemiya FC you're thinking of...? Checkout the link that kyleaudio posted about 4 rows up. ^^^

 

Maybe you would like to google for Rod Millen 4WD RX7?

 

This was an FD, not an FC. If no one else has heard of it, I must be mistaken.

 

Why would anybody want AWD? Sliding is half the fun!

 

because I like beating people off the line, Acceleration, traction, taking turns without losing much grip

 

or an R32 GTR or Gts-4
