    Those of you who are posting nonsense are morons. If you can't answer his question or at least steer him in the right direction, leave this board. Revmaynard, I thought better of you until this nonsense.

    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.

    Hey dude, never mind those assholes. If you've been on forums long enough, you know that by now. If they have no idea or no open mind, they play the "5th grader" games with you to compensate for their lack of anything not JDM Honda.

    As far as your question, here is what I remember from working on an AWD set up for my 1993 Sentra. I went over to the Pull-A-Part for most of the stuff.

    2 left axles from 1992-1999 BMW E36 M3
    front and rear shocks from 2003-2005 Dodge SRT-4 - make sure it had the air ride suspension
    both front hub-centric disc brakes from 1992 - Now Subaru WRX
    both rear water-cooled drum brakes from 1969 - 2002 LS1 F-Body (trans Am)
    get all brakes lines from the LS1 F-body (front and rear)
    AWD set up from 2002 - 2006 Acura RSX (these are sure-fit systems)
    rear semi-quasimodo fast link solid axle from 2001-2005 Honda Civic EP3
    electrical lines for AWD in cab operation from 1996 - 2002 MB CLK430 AWD

    Everything is a straight bolt in ( whoever figured this out I don't know) except for the 2 left axles, front/rear shocks, hub-centric disc brakes, water-cooled drum brakes, the brake lines and the fast link rear axle.

    Once you get those items bolted up to your car, I believe you'll be ready to tackle the AWD big boys. I never got around to finishing mine so I do hope you'll get yours running successfully.

    And again, don't mind those mindless idiots that are talking shit. Look at my post count and rep count compared to theirs. Both are are well more than all of theirs combined so I know what I'm talking about, dude.

    Good luck and keep us (or me) updated. Later, QD.

    Eh, he kept posting asking how to do this in a KF thread that had nothing to do with it. I gave up after the first few comments though, wasn't worth my time. lol

    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.

    Seriously.

    And NX2000s and NX1600s are FWD.

    And sorry to break the news to you, but if you're too stupid to search the internet for the answers on how to make a b13 awd, you're too stupid to be able to actually do it.

    read the first page... don't feel like reading anymore. if there is already an answer, I apologize for this. When I had my b13 se-r, it was brought to my attention of doing a Pulsar gti-r swap in it. Was told for everything it was 3k-4k dollars. I was also told, that most of the swap was straight forward, just had a few little custom things for the drive shaft and the rear axle. If you are serious about doing this, and have the money for do so, call up a shop and get an estimate unless you have the know how. I am sure Dan at Batlground could give you an idea of how much it would cost for everything. It's not going to be cheap though.
    Back to being stock and slow
