Hey there I trying to find out if I can convert my front wheel drive 3000gt base model into a rear wheel drive. I want to use my 3000gt for drifting events. Thats why I really want to do this and i've heard rwd gto's. So any help? I will appreciated thanks.

Pontiac and Ferrari made Rear wheel drive GTO's

i'd suggest buying a 240sx or something that's already RWD. It will save alot of headaches.

If your dead set on making a RWD 3kgt, the easiest way is to get a VR-4 (AWD) and "Modify" (aka, weld) the drivetrain so that only the rear wheels are driven.
Unless your an experienced fabricator, making your FWD 3k into RWD is probably out of your skill level and budget. You'd need to basically custom build a drivetrain.

There have been RWD 3000gts, but as far as i know, all started life as VR-4s. I know of 2 that use small-block V8s and one that uses the original engine, mounted longitudinally, mated to a custom tranny (turbo400 i think) and rear end.
I dont know how seriously you are looking into this, but one of the guys is on 3si.org, and his name is vr-440. He's the guy to answer your questions.

VR-440's car started as a base.

Thanks you have always answered my questions. No im not a experienced fabricator. I know it sounds crazy but I really want to do it and I know it has to be custom made. I want my 3000gt to be one of a kind. Thanks I'll be asking that guy. oh and i never seen a 3000gt drifting and there's too many 240's out there(getting out of topic) thanks again.

There is a company out there that made a kit. However, I don't think they were able to mass produce it.


Its going to be an expensive build but I'm in for the pictures.

I'm going to be completely blunt, and not because I don't like seeing people be creative and do something different. Building a 3000GT/Stealth/GTO for drifting is as dumb a thing you could do to a car, besides putting pimp shocks in their, bouncing the car up the street. I can only assume you've never owned one of these cars, because if you had, you'd understand that they are way too heavy and even with smaller turbo's, are not as responsive power wise as many other cars. Please do not do this. I'm not saying it can't be done, it's just a silly idea. :)

Actually, it started out as a vr4. It was wrecked in the front when he bought it.

actually there was a dude on this forum from uk that had a rwd gto, the guy who blew his engine twice and we were convincing him not to sell it but get a new engine, don't remember the name tho

i kind of agree. It's like stripping the interior out of a Bentley Continental GT and turning it into a drag car. It will be unique, and probably pretty quick, but untimately a huge waste of money, you'll ruin the car's purpose, and still wont be as quick as all the supercharged fox-bodys.
The problem is that the 3/s was designed as a grand tourer. Luxurious, heavy, and very stable.

but if your still gonna do it, i'm with EMC. Keep us posted with the pics!

My bad. There is someone out there that did a RWD conversion to a base. Even had a website and everything.

Yeah I know, and i've never owned a 3000gt b4. I'll post a website of a success story. I'm hoping for my car to go big. I'll be posting some pictures after a couple of months. I'm just going to stand my guns out and put my mind to it. Don't care about about what other ppl say. Thanks for posting. This is my dream car and now I have it.
