so i bought a 93 300zx na so i can do the swap. it was cheap got the whole car for 800.

can i swap the spindles or do i have to pop the hub out and put it on the stock one. been reading up on this but havnt found a good topic that makes everything clear and easy for somone doing it for the first time. i was tnking i can jus swap the spindles on he front and back but now im readin u have the swap spindles. CAN SOMONE CLEAR THIS FOR ME BEFORE I SCREW IT UP

Well your not searching.

You can use the rear hubs,, just bolt them on. The front are useless. though.

With the right coils you can use the aluminum Z32 rear uprights, backing plates, rotors, calipers, booster, BMC, e brakes cables. A good pick up for 800

Wrote that backwards. The fronts can be pressed in, but the backs are useless. I thought the 300zx axels were a different size then 240's. thus the axels wont go in.

Wrong its a NA 300zx. They use the same spline design as the S-Chassis and J30. Z32 Turbos are different, but he said he has a NA parts car. And good luck with the fronts, conversion hubs or swap the S14 method.

Yes the rear NA z32 hubs bolt right on. The front are a different design / knuckle all together and do not work (though anything is possible with fab)

For the front you needS14 5 lug hubsS14 KnucklesS14 LCA's or S13 LCAs with S14 LBJs pressed into themYou then need a reducer for the S13 shocks / coils since the S14 knuckles use a larger strut to knuckle bolt.

Or just good old conversion hubs with OE bearing (s13 bearing that is)

Not search cause there are people who who have re-drilled the 4 lug hubs for 5 lug, and J30 hubs can be modded to work, but there is a safety concern with the locking ring I believe.
