You can pick up rear 5 lug hubs all day for $150 used just look around. Ichiba front 5 lug hubs are $200. All you need after that is S14 SE 5 lug rotors front and rear. It is worth the money in the long run.

i would just go with ichiba fronts and s14/z32 rears + 5 lug steelies. and redrill your old rotors for now i suppose. it should land you below the $350-400 mark.

I have a z32 and a 240 and today i tried to convert the hubs over....... let me tell you what...... if you have a z32 that is automatic and non turbo'ed the hubs in the front arn't the same for some reason there bass ackwards they don't bolt on like they should so now i have to go buy the front hubs..... whats the difference in the front and back hubs can i get another set of back hubs and use them or not? also i was thinking will the rear hubs out of a nissan maxima work for the front since they are front wheel drive? Are there any other cars that have the same hubs? I got a steal for the z32 tho,i only paid $450 for it and now all i have to do is get some front hubs for my 240.

ummm, I could be wrong, but Z32 fronts do not carry over to S chassis.

nope, only na rear hubs and knuckles can change over..nothing on the front.

with my hook up at advance..only because i have he hook up, i can score all 4 new ones for 400 bucks...good to know people i guess? but z32 rears with s14 front would be best..they change right over..if you were to do the knuckles too you get into conical bushings and what not..

would the rear hubs work off of an infinity j30? not sure of the year but it looks to be around an 95 model. i can get the rear hubs,rotors,brake calipers,brake lines on both sides under 200 for all that but that dont include the front rotors or calipers,lol
