Ok, Ive looked at forums and dont really see straight answers so here is the question. Can you use s14 hubs on an s13, I know the rears will work but dont know if its possible to do the front hubs.

you have to use S14 hubs, S14 spindles, and S14 ball joints pressed into you S13 LCA(or you can use the S14 LCA with ball joint). You will also need to use the S14 bolts for the strut.

it also requires some drilling and a trip to autozone for a ball joint remover. It took me a few days, I was waiting for parts and stuff. remember never-seize is your friend.

yup he got it on the mark.. not sure how much you can get the whole front suspension for but where i am you're better off getting GTO or peak performance hubs.. only thing is you wont get that little extra wide stance..

courtesyparts.com sells OEM hubs and bearings for a little over 600. that way you can source some used ball joints and spindles and have brand new bearings.

Not that hard I bought a ball joint remover kit from harbor freight for about $30. It took about 45 minutes to take the old ones out and pop the new ones in. If you can get S14 LCA with good ball joints for a decent price go with it.

i think he already has everything, hes got the wrecked car. its an easy swap for you then, just unbolt your spindal and lca and reolt it up again, put the wheel back on and your good to go.

Ok, im not sure if im gonna use my parts that i have off the S14. If I do it im most likely going to need u guys to help me out alittle. By the way man, your S13.5 looks sick. Too bad that thing is still sittin all rally style. One day you will lower it and it will be dead sexy.

Yes I can get nismo front lip for the s13 and the front 5 lugs only work if you have the following met already

you have to use S14 hubs, S14 spindles, and S14 ball joints pressed into you S13 LCA(or you can use the S14 LCA with ball joint). You will also need to use the S14 bolts for the strut. <-- quote 574-240sx

FYI: I found a place on eBay that sells a little bushing that you can hammer into you S14 spindle that will allow you to use the S13 bolts and not have to modify the S13 strut.

Ok, some one can go buy them. Measure it out for me so I can go get some steel and cut them myself. Id rater spend 5 bucks getting the metal somewere in town then buy um on ebay for 15 and have to wait, then once I get um realize that I could of spent less than 5 bucks. Ive bought stuff then regreted it cause I could of done it my self for a matter of a few dollars. Not trin to diss on it, seems like a pretty good deal, atleast they arent tring to sell it for 30 bucks.

I wasnt sure exactly what you were talking about when you said nismo front so I checked into the factory ones and here is what the prices are for factory front chin spolers. s13 zenki spoiler with hardware is 138.71 and freight is uncertian since I dont carry any of these in stock at the moment but if one was to order I would try and work out the cheapest price.

s13 chuki spoler runs 174.25

Yes 93.52 for each rear hub and the bearings are sold seperately cost 84.81 for each side and yes these are the s14 se rears. the z32 na ones are more expensive for some reason.
