I know with a RB26 swap into the 240, when switching to a RB25 transmission, the oil pan needs to be changed as well. Now, I don’t know if this is the case for the AWD RB20, but its worth taking a look into. I’m guessing if this is needed all you need is a RWD RB20 oil pan.

Nissan would not produce different blocks just to make it awd. That would cost to much

there is the oil pan on an awd car has a diff in it so just find a stock rb20 or 25 oil pan
