    Anyways, AWD Sentras have been done before. But just like you were told in the other thread you asked in, it would require some cutting and welding to fit the driveshaft and rear differential. You'd probably have to use a fuel cell as well since the rear differential would probably be occupying the space previously taken by the gas tank. Yes, it can be done, but I don't think its worth the trouble. It would cost a large sum of money to pay a shop to do it, and would have a hefty learning curve should you try to do it yourself. There are many more ways to improve a Sentra and leave it FWD - the B13 chassis is plenty competent enough when it comes to motorsports. So why bother? If the fact that its FWD bothers you, sell it and buy another car.

    If you are really considering doing this though, I would suggest finding a Sentra or Nissan forum and contacting one of the people who have done it before. That would be much more helpful than posting here, as you can see how well that turned out.
    but i tried to find some people on those forums and there is no one them who done it yet but i will give it another try

    A quick google search pulled up this thread on another site:
    http://www.nissanforums.com/b13-91-9...y-alttesa.html

    Most of what they are talking about there is what you need to be looking into:
    I believe that you can use the floor of a B13 without modifications until you get to the rear. The driveshaft doesn't need a lot of clearence since it only spins and doesn't travel up and down like a solid axle car.The rear suspension on the GTiR is assembled to a seperate bolt in subframe that you would need to fabricate strong mounts for.The Sentra and Pulsar/Sunny GTiR both share the same wheelbase and trackwidth so the parts can "easily" be made to fit if you have the requisite fabrication skills and an understanding of the basic systems.One final thing:you must use the exact same tires and gear ratios on all 4 wheels or you will grenade the transfer case.
    Here is a good example of one that is already done:

    Oh and all NX2000s are FWD.
