it has to be rear wheel drive i dont think formula drift would ever let a all wheel drive car enter competition because it wouldnt be drifting it would be power slideing
They are going to be doing some development on the VR38 this year. The engine is still fairly new, parts are scarce, and expensive. Lots of companies are developing parts, expect to see them the next year. Check out my 2009 gtr blog for more info.
if you asking why since its a awd, with a flappy paddle gear box. im sure they converted it to rwd, and installed a standard gearbox prolly from a older gtr. so its drift ready.
im also sure it has its weight reduced cause this is a heavy mother in its stock trim.
Its getting a G-Force transmission, and there will be a good amount of weight out of the car. I heard some numbers on the chassis but I won't post them.
@nitrousboy0311 Good point... but I am pretty sure it's more for the promotional standpoint. Cause it runs on VQ boosted engine and probably Z33 driveline as well? Just a thought
Please read their spec sheets carefully. Cause they are converting it into a RWD Drift car. Utilizing Z33 engine and driveline would be the logical choice here.
Yeah! I agree. The GT-R is fitted with the best electronics you can find and now they ripped it a paert just to go sideways. I LOVE drifting but seriously GTR 35 is such a waste of money to drift in.
I s the drift gtr r35 still using the original 3.8 twin turbo v6 as thr road card bar or does it have another engine swapped in it place?

I believe VQ35 instead of the VQ38, bored and stroked to 4L of course.
